The immediate aim of this American Life League video clip was to stimulate principled protest over the Smithsonian Institution's honoring of Margaret Sanger, the founder of what is now America's leading abortion business, Planned Parenthood. That particular campaign is outdated by a couple of years. But the information the video clip contains (namely, Sanger's own words about the racist, elitist eugenics that compelled her) remains extremely relevant to current protest efforts -- like getting government agencies to stop giving Planned Parenthood $1 million of taxpayer money every day.
Check it out. And then pass it on.

Obama Official Given Key Post by Planned Parenthood
The Obama administration is filled with former pro-abortion activists and leaders of groups like NOW and NARAL, but the revolving door between the White House and the abortion industry is now swinging the other way.
A Politico report today indicates the Planned Parenthood abortion business has hired a key White House aide, Dana Singiser, as its new Vice President for Public Policy — a position that will undoubtedly have her representing the abortion giant in relations with members of Congress and the White House...

Oh Yeah, United Way Partners With Planned Parenthood.
Those glowing commercials featuring NFL players notwithstanding, United Way has become infamous to many as an organization that stimulates he most wicked kinds of coercion. Many of you know from personal experience how the thing works. Sometimes it's merely the snide remark, the sharp asides, the whispered warning about how an employee's contribution to United Way isn't a voluntary thing at all. It's expected; indeed, required.
And some of you have heard the threat put a lot more directly. "Give to United Way or give up any hope of promotion." Or "You hold out and the expected dollar amounts will have to come from your colleagues. So pony up with your share or get ready for recriminations." Or "You know how fragile is job security nowadays. If you want to keep your position, you'd better be %#@&% sure you write that check." Or "Don't worry; we've already adjusted your salary this month to allow for your United Way contribution. Don't bother to thank us."
And why do some Christians still hold out against such intense, unfair and, I firmly believe, illegal extortion? Because forced giving isn't true benevolence? Yes. Because they already give generous amounts to people, projects and causes that they believe in? Yes. Because United Way has been proven over and again to be less than circumspect in the way it spends money? Yes.
And because United Way gives to downright wicked organizations like Planned Parenthood? Yes.
In the last year with information available (2008), local United Ways distributed an estimated $1.9 million to Planned Parenthood agencies. And the main United Way website (www.LiveUnited.org) directs volunteers toward Planned Parenthood. No, not every state or city agency promotes Planned Parenthood, but several do.
And one is too many.
Here's more including a link to a site which can help you effectively oppose United Way's sponsorship with Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood's Targeting of African-Americans: A "Heinous Human Injustice"
...The abortion industry kills more black people than the alcohol and tobacco industries, combined. According to the CDC, in the latest annual report on abortion statistics, there were over 363,705 deaths caused by abortion versus 289,366 deaths from all other causes combined. Where’s the outrage?
Where’s the resistance against the number one killer of African-Americans? Abortion is advertised even more disproportionately, and has a consistent negative health outcome—death. On billboards, in school-based clinics, through advocate media, nonreciprocal PR responses (Tebow Ad response) and tragically, in churches, abortion is heralded as merely a positive “choice”.
Planned Parenthood has lodged itself in the urban environment for decades, overseeing and instigating years of the decay of the black family, increasing unintended pregnancy rates, soaring fatherlessness (72.3%) and exponentially higher STD rates. Gonorrhea is 20 times higher among blacks than whites and 10 times higher than Hispanics. Chlamydia is 8 times higher among blacks than whites and 3 times higher than Hispanics. And with all of the targeting that Planned Parenthood does, aiming for the black community since The Negro Project, abortion occurs 4.9 times more among blacks than whites, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
We have more access to condoms and all other forms of birth control than ever before in human history. Yet Planned Parenthood, the self-professed savior of the urban community, fails at its most basic tasks—reducing unintended pregnancy rates and preventing the spread of STDs. The only thing they do not fail at is killing through abortions. Their entire billion-dollar business model centers on this heinous human injustice...

Former Planned Parenthood Director Says Govt. Investigation Long Overdue
It is a matter of public record that the affiliates of Planned Parenthood and its national headquarters receive about $1 million per day in federal-state support for a total of $1 billion or more in tax dollars in any three-year period.
This alone would merit close government attention as to whether these funds are being spent appropriately and, specifically, in keeping with the federal laws that not only say abortion should not be funded but also that public money should not be made available to any program in which abortion is used as a means of family planning.
I can state categorically from personal experience that abortion is indeed deployed as a means of family planning according to the mission of Planned Parenthood and its affiliates.
I have personally witnessed and can testify to the validity of specific concerns raised by Stearns in his Sept. 15 letter to Planned Parenthood Federation of America President Cecile Richards, including instances in which an employee or affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America failed to:
• Properly account for and maintain separation between government funds prohibited from use for elective abortions and those funds derived from other sources that are not subject to such limitations.
• Notify parents when a vulnerable girl is seeking an abortion, including instances when the minor girl is the victim of an act of statutory rape under applicable state law.
• Provide a woman undergoing an abortion with accurate and relevant information regarding the stage of her pregnancy, including the opportunity to view ultrasound imagery that may have profoundly affected her decision to undergo an abortion.
• Detect and act upon instances where a girl or woman was brought to the clinic under some degree of coercion, up to and including instances where the girl or woman was subjected to human trafficking.
The decision by the subcommittee to delve into the extent of these issues is long overdue, and it will provide an appropriate check and balance on an entity that, as I can personally attest to, has operated as a law unto itself, gladly accepting tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer support while using the rubric of “reproductive rights” to claim exemption from the normal standards of accountability that every other recipient of public funds is expected to meet...

PP Hosts Drag Queen - Bingo Party
Planned Parenthood as an apple pie family planning organization?
Think again. Planned Parenthood is America's leading abortion promotion business, America's largest abortion performing business and America's largest promoter and enabler of teenage promiscuity.
And they engage in bizarre immoralities like this one; namely, a drag queen bingo fundraiser.
And this is the kind of business that rakes in $1 million every day of American taxpayer money? For shame.

Another Cover Up of Planned Parenthood Crimes
Why can't the crimes of Planned Parenthood be successfully prosecuted? Because of still other crimes (namely, a nefarious cover up) committed by Planned Parenthood pals.
Here's part of the report from the Kansas City Star:
The country’s first criminal prosecution of Planned Parenthood was left teetering Friday when it was revealed the state of Kansas destroyed abortion records that prosecutors planned to use as evidence.
Johnson County prosecutors asked a judge to delay a Monday hearing to decide if there’s enough evidence to try Planned Parenthood on 23 felony counts of falsifying termination of pregnancy reports...
“Unbelievable,” said Mary Kay Culp, executive director of Kansans for Life.
“We don’t believe for one second this was anything but purposefully done to protect the abortion industry.”
The shredding occurred when KDHE was under former Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, an abortion rights supporter...
The destroyed records were critical in establishing the authenticity of records from 2003 that Kline obtained when he investigated Planned Parenthood as attorney general. Planned Parenthood also provided copies of the records, but Kline contended that those did not match the ones he had in his possession...

Look Who's Talking About Misinformation!
Marc John Paul reports for LifeNews.com about how Planned Parenthood regularly misleads women about their services -- while all the time trying to portray pro-life pregnancy help centers as the villains. It's an illuminating piece.
