Planned Parenthood’s 10 Most Feared Enemies in 2012
9. Jill Stanek
Jill Stanek writes the most popular pro-life blog in the nation. Keith Olbermann once named her “the worst person in the world.” In an average year, Stanek’s writings would qualify her for this list, but this is a special election year and she may play a major role in beating Obama.
Stanek used to be a nurse at a hospital in Chicago. She quit working there when she discovered the hospital was actually partaking in infanticide. The hospital was taking babies that survived abortions and leaving them to die in a utility closet. That inspired Stanek to advocacy for life. As I mentioned elsewhere when writing about Stanek, “she helped get some laws in Illinois changed and later, President Bush would sign the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act into law. At the signing Bush publicly recognized Stanek for her contribution.”
In 2008, Stanek became a sought-after guest for many conservative media outlets. The former hospital nurse went public to reveal that as a state senator, Obama voted against the Illinois Born-Alive bill multiple times. In other words, Obama voted for infanticide to continue in Illinois. While the mainstream press tried to ignore the topic, Stanek kept pushing it and that made her an enemy of the Left.
Planned Parenthood’s biggest goal in 2012 is to reelect Barack Obama. They need him, and they don’t want the infanticide issue returning. Sadly for Obama and Planned Parenthood, it already has. Newt Gingrich raised the topic in one of the debates. CNN tried to cover up for the president, even though there is documented proof that Obama voted against the Born-Alive bill in Illinois on multiple occasions.
Obama, many in the media, and clearly Planned Parenthood would like this story to die in the 2012 election. But as Jill Stanek continues to write, do interviews, and give speeches, this issue will most likely remain in the headlines.
The #8 enemy of Planned Parenthood brings religion mixed with politics into the fight.
11. Us. Vote, talk, raise your children right (and raise lots of ‘em!), react to EVERY pregnancy with delight. It’s time to be Breibart.
Agreed Jeannette. The real #1 enemy of Planned Parenthood are the millions of folks who recognize abortion for what it is, and vote accordingly.
For too long, abortion on demand proponents have been allowed to lie and propagandize their insidious, dirty business without challenge.
One beef with the article. It’s just not the Catholic Church that is at the forefront of the legalized abortion fight. Many if not the majority of those crisis pregnancy centers were created by Protestant Christians, paid for by fundraisers, churches and volunteers who don’t take one dime of federal or state assistance to care for mother and child through toddler age.
I agree with you. There are many Protestant organizations, unfortunately not all Protestant churches, who have been part of the fight against abortion. The Catholic Church is the only church that has been consistently against any form of killing innocent life since its inception, 2000+ yrs ago (w/minor lapses here & there), an obvious, very large pain-in-the-neck to Planned Parenthood.
The Roman Catholic Church did not exist 2,000 years ago.
How do you expect to win the cultural war if you’re not up on real history?
Jeanine, sadly, it is you who are not up on the true history of the Roman Catholic Church.
From 1205AD to 1605AD, the Roman Catholic Church tortured and murdered as many as 50 million human beings (Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike) for refusing to convert to the Catholic doctrine. That is NOT the behavior of a “pro-life” organization.
Thankfully, though, in every religion (which are all man-made and just as evil as man’s nature), there are true believers in God and His Word. These people have often fought for the rights of unborn babies, even under the names of their religions. Religions, themselves, are bad; but the PEOPLE can be good.
He’s right- the Church’s 2000th birthday is about 20 years from now.
Catherine….quit being a bigot and look up what it was that triggered the beginning of the Crusades!!! it was the Muslims blocking access to Jerusalem by all non-Muslims!!
No, the “Catholic Church” did not exist as an organization until after Rome became Christian and that Ceaser made one of the Christian priests his heir. Before that, there were many small “churches” founded by people who heard Jesus speak and went home to spread the word. The Coptics and Druze are the only two surviving groups that I know of. The Catholic Church tried to round them all up and force them into subservience. The various orders allowed the variation in faith (creed) the people needed.
And, no, the Catholic Church did not always speak against abortion, or infanticide.
No, Phillip, that’s Protestant propaganda, not history. History says that every legitimate house church answered to the city’s bishop, who was ordained in a direct line of succession to the Apostles. The presbyter of said house church was ordained by either the city’s bishop or one of the bishop’s predecessors or fellow bishops. Nowhere in the Bible is there any authority for a believer to declare himself a pastor and start a church without the permission of the local bishop. Even if laymen went out and evangelized new territory, they could only baptize, not start churches, until a bishop came to ordain clergy. Indeed, for twelve years the Church in South Korea was sustained only on baptism and Bible study; there was no Communion because there were no presbyters to offer Communion, nor bishops to ordain presbyters (of course, since every bishop is a presbyter, if they had bishops they would also have Communion). It wasn’t until a presbyter joined up with the missionaries that they had actual churches.
The Orthodox/Catholic Church is descended from Christ’s Apostles; the Roman Catholic Church, in the West, is the result of the undivided Church splitting in the Middle Ages into Eastern and Western parts, Eastern Orthodoxy and Latin (Roman) Catholicism. Protestantism, with its multiplicity of identities and communities, is the product of the past 500 years.
There is no official “Roman Catholic” Church. It is just the Catholic Church which has been in existence approximately 2000 years. There has only been one Catholic Church. Rome just happens to be where the Successor of Peter is seated. This is the Latin Rite Catholic Church. There is also the Eastern Rite Catholic Church. Together they form, The Cathoic Church. And yes, they are united in Doctrine under the Bishop of Rome, but they have their own traditions.
http://www.catholicapologetics.org/Slides/ General%20Church%20History%20Timeline_files/ frame.htm This is proof the that the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. You’re welcome.
OK, rance, to be precise, it was only 1979 years ago (the year 33 A.D) that what we now call the Roman Catholic Church was founded. Not a full 2000. Give me a break.
http://www.catholicapologetics.org/Slides/General%20Church%20History%20Timeline_files/frame.htm
This is proof the that the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. You’re welcome.
Prove it!
This is about today, not the past. This is an issue that we put aside our differences and unite around – Protestant or Catholic don’t miss the forest for the trees.
the lines between the different Christian denominations have blurred just a bit in recent years as the abortion battle has heated up and I am very happy about that!! We are all pro-lifers, it doesn’t matter which Church we attend on Sunday morning!! It is very important for us to make our voices heard now before we end up with Romney as the nominee!! Planned Parenthood has a document signed by him as a promise to them that he would not legally make any changes to their current laws while Governor!! Anyone who thinks he would side with life is delusional!! I just have been thinking that while so many of us support Santorum for clear reasons, we should keep Newt in mind as well. He is pro-life and signed the Personhood Pledge (him and Rick are the only 2 still in) Just thinking that it could be more of a compromise so we aren’t stuck with Romney and we still have someone pro-life, just have to reiterate to others that it’s something we won’t compromise on life….I’m just so afraid of ending up with Romney!!
She doesn’t know Mitt Romney, then. He will sell out his new-found pro-life position the minute he takes office, and he’ll appoint liberals as judges.
Newt? Probably reliable, but won’t make it a priority. He would likely appoint genuine scholars as judges, which would be great on this, and all other issues.
Paul? No help there. Judicial appointments may be alright, though.
Santorum is the only reliably pro-life candidate.
Right, Mark. I agree.
The thing that solidified this for me happened back in the 2008 Republican presidential nomination cycle. During a televised Republican Debate, Romney had just answered a question, claiming he was “prolife,” when the station went on a commercial break. The first “commercial” was a political advert showing a video of Mitt Romney saying he was “pro-choice.” Immediately, I knew he would say ANYTHING to become president, and there would be no way of knowing if he was being truthful or not.
Back then, I was a Ron Paul supporter, because, as a former OB/GYN, I knew he was the most pro-life candidate. Later, he lost my support by declaring he would legalize all drugs and allow agressive radical countries to obtain nuclear weapons. I thank God Rick Santorum is running for president this time!
GAME’S ON!!! GO RICK!!!!!!!!!
Mark, even using your words, Newt would put judges in the courts that would help us when this battle is taken there!! It won’t be fought in the oval office, it will be in a court room and I am hesitant to part with the idea of a Santorum presidency, but I don’t want us to be so uncompromising that we end up with romney!! I think Newt could help us get a pro-life candidate in office that also appeals to those who aren’t as passionate as we are on this issue and don’t consider it a top priority when voting like we do….maybe they could be on a ticket? I don’t know just don’t want us top blow our chances….it’s too important
President Romney and the next republican congress can put a damper on PP by changing the tax code by stripping abortion providers of their non profit and charitable tax status. Couple that with baning federal abortion funding and to do reverse Holder witholding federal aid to states that provide funding for abortion would really dampen PP’s activities.
Bob, we can do much better than that! We can elect Rick Santorum as president, and he will help us reinstate our Consitution as the Law of this Land, for every branch of government.
The fallout of this action would necessarily void any unConstitutional laws the Legislature has passed and any past POTUS have signed into law; as well as void any SCOTUS rulings that went beyond Constitutional limits–including Roe v. Wade.
Yes, it will be more complicated than what I’ve written above, and will take some time; but it’s WORTH IT!
Excellent column & list…until I read #1. The GOP 2012 candidate for POTUS will do nothing to turn the tide in the abortion debate & nothing against whoever it will be, but there is only one who can turn the tide. His name is God. I long ago stopped putting my faith in politicians, Republicans namely to do what only God can do. For the tide to turn against abortion on demand, which is a big money enterprise the hearts of those involved in the abortion industry need to be changed. Only God can do this. Abby Johnson & Jill Stanek are proof of God’s work when it comes to changing hearts. Republicans had nothing to do with this. God is the biggest enemy the abortion on demand industry has & they know it. Politicians are too easily bought off (see Bart Stupak). God cannot be bought off. He should have topped this list & no one else.
Kenneth,
I agree with you, God is the natural choice one would expect to be listed as the #1 Foe of Abortion. I must admit I got a chuckle seeing those 4 characters standing in for him.
My local liberal media rag- The Ft-worth Star Telegram pointed out the regristrations for Susan B Koens race for the cure is down 50%, of course they tried to twist it because they had withdrawn then restored money for PP, the commenters also agreed. When if fact its because they cave to the liberal MSM registrations plunged.
Thanks very much for the article. It’s great to see the secular “allies”.
My pastor and the other priests are clear and consistent in their teaching aabout abortion as a sin. So, let’s be equally clear that the forces of evil and anit life are on the march.
The situation with the seemingly overwhelming forces arrayed against life remind of a very key part in Lord of the Rings — Two Towers. Saruman has captured Gandalf and tries to get him to come over to the side of Sauron. He does this by showing him the apparent irresistable tide going against the force of good. Gandalf is only shown what Sauron wants him to see in the Palantir. This episode ion LOTR reminds me of the MSM as the palantir.
The point is we cannot despair or give up because of how menacing, threatening and gigantic the evil forces are… we have to rely on God and prayer. Difficult and challenging times are ahead for all of us.
As St Paul tells the Ephisians and it’s tue today as then…
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Sorry for all the typo’s in #7 post. Not enough coffee this morning…
I also wanted to mention that there is a nationwide “Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally” this Friday noon local time. Stand up against the HHS mandate. I am very hopeful that there will be media coverage. Hint… hint… PJM.
Here is the link. Many solid locations with some great speakers. AB Cordilone
of Oakland will be at the SF location.

We can hope and pray for whatever we choose in our private lives. The political reality in USA 2012 is that abortion on demand is the law of land. News flash to our “right to life” brethren is that Roe v Wade will likely never be overturned, regardless of who the president is. Now, Fed funding of the abortion mill aka Planned Parenthood is another story. Reducing or stopping Fed support of PPFA is a realistic political goal.
Lizard King, I know you’ve been taught that, but your teachers have lied to you. Progressives have been removing the Truth from our history books for over a hundred years.
Here’s the Truth: #1, SCOTUS only ruled the way they did in Roe v. Wade because they did not know when life began–they stated this. Science has since determined that life begins at conception. #2. SCOTUS did not really legalize abotion-on-demand, for the U.S. Constitution only gave them the power to rule over the cases before them, NOT to create laws for the nation. The Constitution gave that power to the Legislature alone!
#3. Here’s the clincher! The Declaration of Independence recognized that our Creator grants unalianable rights (those that cannot be taken away) to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. In its preamble, the Constitution states that one of its purposes (of the new government) is to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” (which clearly refers to God’s Blessings of unalienable rights recognized in the Declaration). This means the Constitution was written to implement government protections for life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness (as well as all the other things listed). Learning the Truth of our Foundations is the key here.
Here’s a quote from http://www.answers.com/topic/roe-v-wade#ixzz1paproFx0
(That is a page I found when I Googled, “What law did Roe v. Wade strike down?”)
“Although Chief Justice Warren Burger’s concurring opinion denied that Roe had established a right to abortion on demand, that was its practical effect. Justices Byron White and William Rehnquist, in separate dissents, criticized the Court for enforcing a right not specified in the Constitution to overturn statutes that were no more restrictive than those widely in force when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted. In addition, they criticized the Court for the trimester framework, which, in their view, was arbitrary. If the state had an interest in protecting the potential life of the fetus, that interest existed, and was equally strong, through the entire pregnancy. Further, they said, the Court’s balancing of competing interests and careful laying out of what doctors could do in various circumstances resembled a statute.”
Roe v Wade can and eventually will be overturned. As the pendulum continues it swing to conservative principals, the Court will return the issue to the states. In the mean time, every person of true conscience must never miss an opportunity to stand for life. “Woman’s Health” disguises the brutal murder of millions of innocents. Tolerence of such horrific behavior lowers a person to the level of an animal. The principal problem confronting this world is it has lost sight of the most important job there is, making and raising good people. Abortion stops a beating hart.
Every day there is an article in the Arizona Republic about a child found in a rrunk or mysteriously disappearing, or being brutalized by ‘mother’s boyfriend. A group is now sorting through a landfill hunting for the body of a 5 year old whose mother was jailed for child cruelty at one time. Her new baby was born a few days after the 5 year old disappeared. When I lived in Alexandria I read the same sort of thing in The Washington Post. Why is this allowed? There are absolutely no standards for parenthood. Any fool can have a baby or impregnate a woman. Some women don’t seem to learn a lesson but go on to have multiple children by a different man each time. Some women, like animals, have litters of children and they opt to do it. I won’t go into the financial cost…just the morality of it.
Is abortion worse than this? Face it….not all babies are wanted. Not all are adopted or fostered by people who will take good care of them….or any kind of care.
For years I have waited for abortion critics to adopt these children…..but they don’t.
“For years I have waited for abortion critics to adopt these children…..but they don’t.”
So you would support a law that if someone saves a young person from drowning in a pond that the rescuer must now adopt the rescued? Sounds like you have a strawman argument to me.
I really think there are plenty of pro-life people that support those that choose to not have abortions. My wife and I are too old to care for a little one now but we do donate substantial money to private adoption agencies. If anyone is looking for an avenue to give I recommend: http://www.antiochadoptions.org/
You waited for someone who is prolife to adopt these older, hard to place, and often non Caucasian children?
Well, I adopted two such older boys.Hello. How are you? Now you know someone.
The reality about abused children is that they are often hard to place thanks to the laws to protect their parent’s rights. Try going to your local adoption agency and find out some facts.
Many of these children are actually placed with family members, but alas others languish in foster care homes (when often adopted families would be willing to adopt them) because their parents refuse to surrender their parental rights, and the social workers keep hoping mom will stop her drug habit so refuse to take her to court to terminate her parental rights…
So your conclusion is that the baby should have his skull crushed, brains sucked out, dismembered, or chemically burned alive in the womb by a “doctor,” rather than killed later on by the baby’s mother. I’m afraid I’m not understanding how one is better than the other. Is knowing who your executioner is what dictates whether or not you would find your tortuous death to be acceptable, or is it determined by your physical location?
I’m pretty much pro-choice. I feel it is a woman’s right to decide for herself what she is going to do. I do, however believe she should be presented with all the facts. I do not agree with Planned Parenthood’s way of doing it. Presenting only one side of the debate isn’t good anytime. Give a woman all the facts, including offering to show her an ultrasound. Let her make her own decision. If she opts for an abortion, fine, give her the information she needs to know to go about it in the safest way possible. I would also inform her of the possibility of the baby surviving and make arraignments for that possibility, such as her giving the child up for adoption. If the kid has enough fight in him or her to survive an abortion then I’m not going to be the one to kill it. If she is willing to keep the child up until term then give her all the information to either get help raising it herself or where to go to adopt it out. To not give both sides is totally wrong, the woman has the right to all the facts even if the clinic loses the fee for the abortion.
On a “Project Rachel”-type website, I read the results of a poll (It was a few years ago and I just don’t remember the site, sorry). Women who were recovering from having had an abortion, were asked why? The overwhelming response was “I didn’t think I had a choice.” Now, I have a degree in math so I know the limited data-value of this response, but it seems that quite often, “choice” doesn’t happen. Women are coerced by their parents or boyfriends (and children are coerced by their molesters of course) into having abortions. When I was younger, there weren’t ultrasounds available so they were never utilized when my friends got abortions. Years later, they got married, had children and all of a sudden, they found out that the 12-week-old fetus they aborted had had hands and feet and looked like babies. A lot of women wish they had been able to make informed decisions.
You are one of the first self professed pro-choice people that I’ve actually heard a logical point from in a long time. While I do not agree with you, I do agree that a woman should be given all of her choices and all of her options before she makes any decisions about the life she is carrying. Thank you, it was refreshing to see that!!
What about the rights of that little baby in the womb who cannot speak for itself??? Who are we on earth to decide about that little one’s fate to live or die. You are a pro-choice because your mother chose to give birth to you. But those millions of babies have no choice!!! Is it justice? Is it fair?
Father Jenkins, President of Notre Dame could never make this list. He awarded then-new President Obama an honorary law degree, despite Obama’ pro-abortion credentials. If Jenkins thought he was opening a line of communication, he was foolish.
He was fooled again when the Administration announced that every Catholic institution (except churches themselves) must provide insurance for free contraceptives and abortions to all employees. Jenkins was probably as surprised as Obama at the reaction that he should have been leading.
Obama issued a false statement that the regulation had been changed. It has not been. Jenkins issued a weak statement on the ND website, hoping for a better outcome. He’s been fooled again.
It’s time for the Congregation of the Holy Cross (the priests who run ND) to act; it’s time for Father Jenkins to go, before he does something even more ruinous to his faith and his responsibilities. (A saddened ND alumnus)
Donna Quixote, I have heard that argument before — every child a wanted child — as if the unwanted child will end up in a trashbin somewhere. The likelihood of that happening is not statistically significant. That’s why when it does, it makes the daily news. But let’s stop for a minute and think this through. Is it the baby’s fault that mom was promiscuous and irresponsible — and might even become abusive? Should her child be murdered as a punishment? Do we kill people for being victims of abuse now? But this is all a moot point. I have been in front of clinics to help women who change their minds. Most of them are there for financial reasons. They don’t even want the abortion but feel pressured into it. Should only the babies of the middle and upper class be allowed to live? And every time I’m there I see women holding signs that say “let me adopt your baby!” So there goes that argument, too. Your comment seems more like a rationalization for abortion based on anecdotal evidence.
to catherine:
how about providing a citation for your figures. 125,000 people a year for 400 years just for not converting? if that’s the case, i’m sure there must one or two reputable history texts. perhaps even 50 million of them:)
e.g., a quick Internet search turns up “Population in Europe” (Josiah Russell), which states that any pop. estimate is just that since the times were chaotic.
however, it estimates 38.5 million people in europe in 1000 a.d.; 73.5 in 1340 a.d. and 50 in 1450 a.d. so out of those populations, 50 million were killed because they wouldn’t go to church?
c’mon! that’s just a wee bit counter-intuitive isn’t it for anyone who’s had a math education past the 3rd grade?.
if you want to consider unnatural deaths, maybe consider the devastation of the Black Plague and the warfare.
I’ve never understood why the Catholic Church doesn’t have the stone tablets to excommunicate these politicians that are in direct opposition to the Church’s teachings. That’s sarcasm. Of course I know why, and it’s good’ol e pluribus unum.
If you have a few minutes, I think you’ll be inspired by the story of one of those people that the post-birth abortionists would do away with. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=9xwCG0Ey2Mg
“For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
look, look at it this way. When it comes to birth control and abortion, the liberals are only hurting themselves. If all those Afro-American babies had not been aborted, the socialists would have taken over America long ago. This way, it is looking like America just might be saved thanks to Roe VS Wade.

Catherine, where did you get 50 million people when the reality was that were not all those people in all of Europe at the time, HELLOOOO! The number is closer to 7000 to 15, 000.. my good God where do you get your hyped up and warped facts in history?
The real #1 enemy of planned parenthood is the Catholic Church.
Matt, I would like to believe that and I PRAY you are right! As I am sure you know, 54% of Catholics voted for our current President in 2008. I was heartbroken to hear those statistics! I am very active in the Pro-Life cause as a sidewalk counselor and I volunteer every chance I can for the Pro-Life cause. I am also Catholic and I do not see The Catholic Church doing anything proactive in taking a stance for Pro-Life in the city where I live. Not one priest was on the sidewalk participated in the Rally for Life last Friday. I called the Diocese and asked “Where were our priests?” I was told that the Bishop basically prohibited the diocesan priests to go. The bishop evidently had a problem with some of the group(s) that planned the Rally. I also asked if the Catholic Church planned to speak up about the upcoming election. I received a resounding NO! So…praying you are right, and that our city is an exception to the rule.
Is this a page that is discussing who the major threats are to Planned Parenthood or an attack on the Catholic Church? The Catholic Church never put people to death or had such authority although there were some within the church that made such requests to those in authority – but it was not done by the church itself. During the Spanish Inquisition it approached more like 50,000. And under the Protestant reformation more Catholics died than that. What army did the Catholic church have to do such atrocities other than the Swiss Guard, and they are there for the protection of the Pope. I must admit bad things happened on both sides but that is the behavior of man and not the Church, our church comes from Jesus himself and it all about fighting for life and for what it believes. I’ve posted articles below for those who insist upon spouting nonsense. I loved the article… it’s good to focus on those that are making a difference in the fight for life. Thank you for sharing!

Santorum could hardly be considered an enemy of Planned Parenthood. He might talk like a pro-lifer, but look at his voting history. He has a history of voting for funding to Planned Parenthood. Clean track record? Yeah right! Ron Paul was completely right to point him out as a fake. I don’t trust that man one bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCLsgWs2t3A
Elect RON PAUL and Planned Parenthood gets defunded overnight. OVERNIGHT.
As an OBGYN he can argue the medical facts against Obama – Santorum is just labeled a religious nut by the left and nobody takes him seriously!
Definitely vote for Dr. PAUL!!!
Really? . . Santorum?? Are you kidding me? Out of all the candidates you pick him, Santorum? Do you not know anything about Ron Paul?
OBGYN for over 30yrs, delivered over 4,000 children never losing the mother or child, consistently voted against any abortion bill and wants to get rid of the Fed that is giving money to Planned Parenthood, which will hurt PP’s agenda and bringing the issue of abortion to a state level where it will be much easier to illegalize abortion.
Santorum on Wed Feb. 22, 2012 voted for Title X funding, which sends tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood. He’s also voted for bailouts and to raise the debt ceiling five times.

Come on, Ron Paul is the only true Pro-lifer and conservative on the Republican party. If you want an end to abortion, more money in your pocket, freedom and liberty, then vote Ron Paul!
Please Esther, stop with the tired old canard about Rick Santorum. While he was in Congress and the Senate, he was a strong and effective pro-life advocate. He also believes there must be a nationwide approach to ending abortion, unlike Dr. Paul who supports a state’s rights approach. And Rick Santorum did not vote for title X funding on Feb 22, 2012 because he has not been in the senate since 2007.
Of all the Republican Candidates, Rick Santorum has the strongest pro-life credentials to defeat Obama. Planned Parenthood and this current president certainly know that and that is why they fear most running against Rick Santorum.
I think it is important for people to know that Planned Parenthood and the like have aborted between 40-44% of all minority African American and Mexican American feteses who were conceived since 1994. These are their own numbers and constitute a national genocide against minorities that needs to be eliminated. Withi a couple of generations this will become very evident.
Hi Paul, Thank You for this article!
Dear All,
Regarding the Republican nomination, take a look at NARAL’s own evaluations here: http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/elections/2012/gop-presidential-candidates/
They say Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum are all “anti-choice” (pro-life), with Mitt Romney being “anti-choice” and “pro-choice” at various times throughout his career (basically, a flip-flopper). One thing I want to correct on the Ron Paul front is that I believe – and I do not hold US citizenship, so this comes from outside America – Ron Paul’s strategy and vision is the best to defund Planned Parenthood permanently. Currently pro-life/anti-life decisions are made by the US federal government which is unconstitutional because, as far as I understand it, the Constitution gives no such authority to the federal government to do so.
Also, Paul’s plan is to put the power to regulate abortion back into the states. This I believe would allow for a near-overnight and permanent and constitutional end to abortion in America, because then individual states can have their own power and autonomy. It is easier to change a state law and given the power of the pro-life movement it would happen quickly. Shifting the focus to the states would also mean sidestepping the big businesses and Planned Parenthood’s control of the federal government, because they can’t control 50+ state governments all at the same time. Putting the power to regulate abortion under federal and not state jurisdiction makes it harder for people to change that law to be pro-life. Santorum’s solution to abortion is federal but that is where PP has their power, and it will change when he leaves office and a pro-abortion candidate is elected and comes in with more sweeping recommendations like Obama has done. Deregulate and give it to the states, is a sure-fire way to protect Liberty, prevent federal changes in the future (and give power back to the People!), overturn Roe v. Wade practically overnight, and make it PERMANENT. Planned Parenthood would have no chance and, moreover, if a state continued to have abortions, people could leave the state, boycott it, and the results of abortions (emotionally and physically on maternal health) would be more quickly seen. It would expose the truth and expose the lie about abortion, “choice”, and women’s health. And I am all for that and for a swift end to abortion in America and on this planet, and I hope America’s decision against abortion will have repercussions along other nations as well.

Seriouslyly?! Students for Life of America is not on this list? I honestly thought they were going to be #1 – they have organized, rallied, mobilized, roused, taught, encouraged, formed, and reformed hundreds of pro-life groups in the past few years! Kristen Hawkins is working with a fantastic group of dedicated individuals in many communities throughout the U.S., and they work hard every single day to present the pro-life message to young people – THEY are the ones PP should be the most afraid of, not a barely relevant candidate who is not even going to win the GOP nomination.
Honorable mention should go to scientific discoveries that now enable ultrasounds to be in 3 dimensions and to perform life-saving surgery on feuses. And to the photographer who took Sam’s picture – the picture of the baby being operated on while still in the womb.
MSG TO MITT ROMNEY: YOU HAD BETTER BE 1,000 PERCENT PRO-LIFE. NO FLIP-FLOPPING.
Would love to see Former Girl Scouts listed as Honorable Mention on this list. As parents pull their daughters out of Girl Scouts for their relationship with Planned Parenthood, more and more former Girl Scouts are speaking out. PP has had help from Girl Scout Councils across the country introducing girls to their clinics by having PP teach “information-based” sex education. Unfortunately, most parents do not know that Planned Parenthood promotes children as young as 10 having “sexual rights” outside of parental notification. Parents need to wake up and see how Girl Scout cookie money is spent. BOYCOTT GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.

The war on terror has been going on since long before September 11…and please stay on topic…
Pro-abortionists say things like “abortion is a fundamental religious liberty issue that should not be infringed upon by the state, we should trust women to make their own personal decisions without outside interference, pro-lifers are free to believe whatever they want, but shouldn’t impose their beliefs on others, in order to have a true reduction in abortion and true equality, we should have state-funded birth control and health services(which of course would include abortion), and those should be paid for by taxpayers.” Men and women, I agree with all that above, it’s absolutely right that abortion should remain legal through all nine months of pregnancy, that our tax dollars should fund birth control programs, that pro-lifers like me ought to “butt out” of this issue, and let every woman to decide for herself, and we should trust women to make their own personal decisions on this issue, I agree with these things completely, they’re right…..IF the unborn are not human. And if you can demonstrate using SCIENCE that the unborn are not members of the human family and PHILOSOPHY to show us that even if they are, they shouldn’t be valued, I will concede, because I’m vigorously pro-choice on women choosing their own husbands, choosing their own religions, choosing their own careers, the pets they wish to own, the cars they wish to drive, I’m pro-choice on all those issues. But some choices are wrong, like taking the lives of defenseless human beings, simply because they’re in the way of something we want. That’s a choice a civil society dedicated to tolerance, diversity, and inclusiveness should not allow.
