How Planned Parenthood used social media to crush Komen

Politico’s Keach Hagey has predicted Planned Parenthood’s successful ambush of Susan G. Komen for the Cure last week will “likely to go down as a textbook case of the political power of social media.” He’s right, and pro-lifers need to learn from it. This post does not discuss reasons why Planned Parenthood felt it had [...]

Birth control error raises ethical and financial questions

Which raises a serious question: What if you end up pregnant because of the packaging mix-up? Is Pfizer offering to cover the cost of the pregnancy or terminating the pregnancy?

The American public was made aware of two previously hidden facts during the liberal assault last week against Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure for attempting to sever financial ties with Planned Parenthood: 1) that the two were even connected to begin with 2) that Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms There have undoubtedly [...]

Latest Rasmussen poll: Santorum 45%, Obama 44%

So much of American politics is simply, ‘do I know you?’ ‘do I trust you?’ and ‘do I like you?’ Favorability ratings are also important because Americans want to know, trust and like the candidate – and Rick’s popularity is miles above the other candidates. Gov. Romney has never been able to rally the base [...]

Faithfully obey all these commands I’m giving you. Love the LORD your God, follow all his directions, and be loyal to him. Then the LORD will force all these people out of your way.

Stanek weekend question I: Is it true the pro-life movement is “clearly really well organized”?

Written by Sparky at The Abortioneers blog this week: The anti-abortion movement is clearly really well organized. They have created websites that list abortion providers names and addresses, they terrorize suppliers, and physicians who have any professional relationships with abortion providers even if they aren’t providing. Show More Summary

Stanek weekend question II: What positives can be drawn from the Komen/Planned Parenthood debacle?

  Well, what a week this has been. What started on a very high note, with news that Susan G. Anthony Race for the Cure had decided to stop funding Planned Parenthood, ended on a very low note, with news that Komen had supposedly caved. But there’s always a silver lining and victory in what [...]

Komen and Planned Parenthood: What next?

  Yes, let the Komen disaster be a lesson to anyone thinking of partnering with Planned Parenthood: You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. On that topic, my inside source has checked in, telling me there were advisers who thought Komen should not notify Planned Parenthood of its decision [...]

Best response ever to “fetus is parasite” meme

Abortion clinic sign: “Use deadly force only if necessary”

On January 28 pro-lifers gathered to pray at the New Woman All Women abortion mill in Birmingham, Alabama, one week after there had been two botched abortions committed in the span of 30 minutes there. During that week the clinic, apparently stressed for business, had prepared a huge “Call for Abortions” sign, which you’ll see in [...]

Did Komen outfox the Left?

Two thoughts as I start this post: 1) My source inside Komen has dried up. Don’t know for how long. Maybe forever. I’m now winging it without any inside information. 2) Because we do not yet know whether Susan G. Komen for the Cure actually did or didn’t capitulate to Planned Parenthood, pro-lifers should again [...]

Life Links 2-3-12

by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat Mitt Romney writes on the Obama administration attack on religious liberty: Liberals and conservatives have made common cause to defend the rights of religious minorities in the past.
