OKLAHOMA CITY, February 16, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – By an overwhelming majority, the Oklahoma Senate declared yesterday that human life begins at the moment of conception when a personhood bill cleared the legislative body by a vote of 34 to 8. Read more…
Over 100,000 abortions take place each year in Canada, which, uniquely among Western democracies, has no law restricting access to the procedure. It is legal throughout pregnancy, although the vast majority of physicians will not carry it out after viability of the fetus (the time at which the fetus has a chance of living outside the womb, which the Canadian Medical Association sets at 20 weeks gestation), except for serious medical reasons. Other exceptions to the 20 week limit do, however, occur and are probably not uncommon. Read more…

Since becoming pregnant, I have learned a hard reality. I have private insurance because I am self employed. I knew that my insurance plan did not offer maternity coverage. Read more…

… “Brinton was the chief organizer for the 2003 NCI (U.S. National Cancer Institute) “workshop” on “early reproductive events and breast cancer”, a panel which reported that the lack of an ABC link had been “established”. In other words, since 2003, the NCI has firmly maintained the position that there is no ABC link; that the studies which had reported such a link were deemed unreliable. However, Read more…
The abortion provider uses a vast media and political network to maintain its subsidies from government and private charities.

The Susan G. Komen Foundation, an organization dedicated since 1982 to fighting, and one day curing, breast cancer, decided to extricate itself from the culture wars by discontinuing grants to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest provider of abortions. The grants Komen had been making amounted to $650,000 last year, funding some 19 local Planned Parenthood programs that offered manual breast exams but only referrals for mammograms performed elsewhere.

It has been deeply revealing and we have learned much.
First of all, that the relationship existed. After all the years of doubt or uncertainty by many contributors to the Pink Ribbon campaign over whether the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure donated some of those funds to Planned Parenthood, it’s all out there now. So there will never be another Pink October or any other fundraising campaign in which ubiquitous pink ribbons and the Komen logo of the breast cancer awareness giant will not be associated with Planned Parenthood, the abortion giant. Read more…
Planned Parenthood’s bitter campaign against Komen–aided by left-liberal activists and media–is analogous to a protection racket: Nice charity you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it. The message to other Planned Parenthood donors is that if they don’t play nice and keep coughing up the cash, they’ll get the Komen treatment. Read more…
My name is Margaret Kelledy. I am a senior at Azusa Pacific University, and the President of our Students for Life chapter. I have been an avid pro-life activist for nearly nine years but I was never able to attend a Walk for Life until this year. As I walked through the streets of San Francisco surrounded by over 40,000 people who were all there with one goal in mind: to put an end to the senseless killing of God’s creations, I could not help but picture all the lives that will never get a chance to live.

Komen initially decided to stop providing funds to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion-provider in the country. It had reportedly adopted new criteria excluding the clinic chain from future grants for breast cancer screenings because it was under government investigation at the urging of pro-life groups.

Call it Planned Parenthood’s war on choice. In less time than it takes to scald a child to death with a saline injection into the womb, the rabid pro-abortion lobby descended like vultures down upon the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. The Komen crime? They dared exercise their right to choose when it came to whom they gave donations and funding.
The relationship between Komen and the abortion mill has always been a baffling one on several levels. Komen was started as an organization that sought to find ways to save the sick and suffering. Planned Parenthood began as an organization based upon the Margaret Sanger lie of eugenics that taught weaker beings should be exterminated. Komen exists upon the fundamental concept that all life is valuable. Planned Parenthood exists upon the fundamental deceit that only “wanted” or “convenient” life is worthy of protection. Komen’s answer to social problems is to strive to find ways to support the living. Planned Parenthood’s answer to social problems is to increase access to killing procedures.
And then there’s the abortion/breast cancer link that leaves a rational mind boggled as to why an abortion provider would ever receive funding from an organization fighting breast cancer. While pro-abortion activists rail that any supposed link between the two is debunked, that just isn’t true.
Planned Parenthood claims that the National Cancer Institute officially denied abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer in their 2003 conference. But what they conveniently omit to mention is that the decision to do so was purely political and was accompanied by many dissenting voices like Joel Brind of Baruch College. Brind, a PhD endocrinologist in New York City, complains that the conference “refused to allow attending scientists to present the opposing position of the scientific research establishing the link, showing that abortion was declassified as a cancer risk for political and not scientific reasons.” They also ignore the inconvenient fact that the NCI’s lead researcher has now completely retreated from her position.
As the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation faces accusations that it split with Planned Parenthood over political pressure, at least a couple pro-life groups are claiming the organization may have acted out of concern over an alleged link between abortion and breast cancer.
The theory that induced abortion increases the risk of breast cancer has been studied for decades and is a controversial one — and one that is contested by major medical organizations. Read more…

A few excerpts from the preface of the last 2 editions:
Over the last thirty years, while most major cancers have started to decline, breast cancer incidence in the US has increased by an alarming 40%. Most of this increase has occurred in the authors’ generation, the generation of “Women’s Lib.” Read more…

Washington D.C., Jan 25, 2012 / 05:52 pm (CNA).- A Democratic-leaning Catholic group’s favorable reaction to the Obama administration’s new contraception mandate is being criticized for neglecting the threat to religious freedom and wrongly claiming that contraception lowers the abortion rate.
“This is a real attack on the religious freedom of millions of Americans. People who care about the future of our country should not stand idly by,” said Eric Rassbach, national litigation director of the D.C.-based Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. Read more…
January 24, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – What’s more newsworthy: that several hundred thousand people converged on Capitol Hill in the midst of a cold rain in the middle of January in order to protest abortion, or that a tiny handful of pro-abortion counter protesters showed up as well? Read more…
Question for the media: Are pro-lifers invisible?
When 300,000 people show up for the March for Life in Washington, D.C., the media mentions next to nothing. When the multitude is especially youthful and upbeat, the liberal media says they’re mostly old and tired.
