The new bright pink Planned Parenthood ads being rolled out by PP of Northern New England blast such slogans as: We’re your SEXUAL EXPERIENCE, We’re your FRIEND WITH BENEFITS, We’re your QUICKIE, We’re your PRIVATE AREA, We’re your SEXUAL FANTASY, and We’re your MORNING AFTER. The message is appearing on buses, in local newspapers, and on Facebook, as well as on PP’s “new, fun collection of magnets, sticky notes, pens, and lip balm.”
The abortion giant admits in its fall/winter 2011 newsletter that the ad campaign is geared toward young people: “A little bit cheeky and irreverent, it mirrors what our research tells us: Young people are looking for reproductive health care that includes convenience, honest and reliable answers, and a dash of humor.”

It has been reported to us by pro-life forces on the ground that notorious late-term abortionist Dennis Christensen has appeared at Planned Parenthood’s abortion facility on Orin Road in Madison, Wisconsin, at least three times in recent weeks, prompting speculation that he is committing late-term abortions at the facility. Christensen took over sole ownership of the grisly Northern Illinois Women’s Center abortion mill in Rockford, Illinois, in 2004. The Illinois Department of Public Health ordered an emergency suspension of the Rockford clinic’s license Sept. 30, 2011, because of health and safety violations observed during on-site inspections in June and September. The facility has been closed since Sept. 30.
Upon permanent closure in January 2012, a statement was released which read, in part: “The staff is very saddened by the closing. We are not done grieving this loss and still are struggling with surrendering to the idea that we will not be able to do this work tomorrow or the day after.”

Recently we told you about International Planned Parenthood Federation’s strategic plan, which entails increasing abortion “services” in Africa by 82 percent by 2015. Subsequently, Human Life International’s newsletter featured a response to IPPF’s plan, authored by Emil Hagamu, an African citizen of Tanzania, and HLI’s regional coordinator for English-speaking Africa. We offer you some very enlightening excerpts from the response, which can be read in its entirety here:
Since IPPF came to Africa some 50 years ago, abortion has been their number one agenda. They initially came with concerns of “helping” us with our population “problems” – problems that we did not know that we had since most African nations are less densely populated than the countries of those who were telling us there were too many of us. This was before they changed their description of their “population control services” to “reproductive health services.”

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains has attempted to silence a sidewalk counselor in the Denver area to no avail. The U.S. attorney general’s office had requested a preliminary injunction against Ken Scott, asserting 10 separate violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, seeking a $10,000 fine and an injunction to keep him 25 feet away from the facility. On Jan. 26, the motion for preliminary injunction was denied on the grounds that the attorney general would not be reasonably likely to prove at trial that Scott physically obstructed employees of the PP facility.
Peter Breen, attorney for the defendant, said, “This is the latest in a series of meritless, harassing lawsuits filed by the Obama administration that seek to squelch peaceful pro-life advocacy on public sidewalks outside abortion providers." Breen is the executive director and legal counsel for the Thomas More Society.

The Susan G. Komen Foundation has indicated that it is suspending Planned Parenthood funding pending the outcome of a comprehensive congressional investigation of the abortion giant, which includes scrutiny of Planned Parenthood’s finances, its overbilling of the federal government, and how it deals internally with reporting criminal conduct, suspected sexual abuse, and sex trafficking. The investigation was launched Sept. 15, 2011.
While Planned Parenthood makes much ado today about how the loss of Komen funding puts women in danger, Planned Parenthood does not provide breast cancer care. As far as screening, it is not licensed to do anything beyond Level 1 manual breast examinations--the same exam that can be done by a woman in her home, or in any clinic or physician's office. Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms. It is not licensed to do so.
