I've been thinking a lot about parenting lately. My oldest and dearest friend gave birth just a few days ago to a boy and I am so excited to meet him next week. I feel horrible that I have not been to see her yet (she only lives 40 minutes away) but life is so hectic.I am sure that she has enjoyed the down time from visitors, as I know that I did when AJ came home but I also wanted to know that pe

BACKGROUND - READ 'PLANNED PARENTHOOD THUMPED,' POSTED HERE AT A NEWT ONE ON THURSDAY. --JZSPECIAL COMMENTARY: I was encouraged to see a group of black pastors picketing the headquarters of Planned Parenthood last week, stating they have perpetuated a "genocide on the black community," slaughtering over 1,500 black babies a day. The group has also called for Congress to cut off the $300 MILLION TAX DOLLARS a year sent to Planned "how to kill your baby" Parenthood, a private baby killing organization that took in nearly 1 BILLION DOLLARS last year. I have been calling for the President to sign an Executive Order to cut off all federal funding to Planned Parenthood for years now, since Congress will never do it. My only comment to this group of pastors is how can they take this stand for

Becoming a mother at the ripe old age of 22 was, in hindsight, not the best time to take on the full-time, all encompassing work a child requires. But because she was growing inside me, unless God took her away from me before her birth I was going to be a mommy sometime around Valentine's Day 2001. At 22, you're supposed to be selfish, you're supposed to stay out partying all night long only to

The Planned Parenthood Federation of America has perpetuated a “genocide on the black community,” says a group of African-American pastors who claimed Thursday the birth control and abortion provider has had a racist agenda since its beginnings in 1921.

Over the summer, The Advocate investigated the financial dealings of Planned Parenthood and made some shocking discoveries about the clinic-owning “nonprofit.” We obtained the information by having an actor call clinics across the country and pose as a donor.

Showing off her fine pregnant figure, Jessica Alba spent Sunday afternoon running errands in Studio City with her fiance/babydaddy Cash Warren. The expecting couple stopped by a local flower shop - leaving with Cash carrying a fresh bouquet as he followed Jessica through the store’s exit.As far as getting ready for the May arrival of their first child is concerned, Jessica recently told People magazine: “I’m just trying to get my house ready before the baby comes. It’s kind of hectic, it’s getting close and the house isn’t even ready yet.”Continuing on, Alba, 26, said: “I’m not working so it’s been a good place to put all my energy so it’s been a nice distraction. I’m used to having to be somewhere all the time, and it’s kin

I love my wife very much. She is my best friend, and I enjoy every day we spend together. When we first met, her family teased me because I always dressed up when we saw them. I felt like it was important to put my best foot forward, and it helped to boost my confidence.Over the years, I've relaxed significantly. I am much more comfortable with myself, and I know that my wife (and her family) loves me for who I am. I don't need to get dressed up any more.Lori and I will be married for 9 years next month, and it got me thinking about how things have changed since we first met. The biggest change came about two years ago when we decided to become full-time parents. Prior to that, we were part-time parents to my daughter Chani, who stayed with us a few days per month and longer during

This from Michelle Malkin I’ve written several times before about Lila Rose’s pioneering undercover journalism.

In February, Rose released undercover tapes of her discussion with [...]

An actor recently called a Planned Parenthood staffer requesting to make a donation to support the abortion of black babies. Ofcourse the donation was fake, but the response from the staffer was real and borderline racist.After asking that the donation go to abort black babies in his son’s name, the caller stated, “…we just think, you know, the less black kids out there the better.” To which the PP staffer laughed and said, “Understandable, understandable… Excuse my hesitation, um, um, this is the first time I’ve had a donor call and make this kind of request, so I’m excited, and I wanna make sure I don’t leave anything out.“Racist or not? Some say the staffer was only eager to receive the money. Full transcript of the call at Sandra Rose.

Even though Planned Parenthood celebrated Black History Month with a special feature on their web site, their commitment to the well-being of the black community is questionable, at best.Recently this guy, posing as a potential donor, gave a call to Planned Parenthood. He was told he could specify that the donation would be used to underwrite the abortion of black babies.It was not a freak thing.In another phone conversation Autumn Kersey, Director of Development at the Idaho Planned Parenthood office, says: "Absolutely. If you wanted to designate that you wanted your gift be used to help an African-American woman in need, then we would certainly make sure that gift was earmarked specifically for that purpose." Listen to Audio.The caller then says, "Good, because I really face trouble w

And this is only the beginning. Those who promote the killing of unborn children are on the losing side of history. The question of when human life begins is a scientific question. Therefore, we shouldn't look to philosophic theories for an answer but to scientific facts. In the words of Dr & Mrs. J.C. Willke: "Biologic human life is defined by examining the scientific facts of human development. This is a field where there is no controversy, no disagreement. There is only one set of facts, only one embryology book is studied in medical school. The more scientific knowledge of fetal development that has been learned, the more science has confirmed that the beginning of any one human individual's life, biologically speaking, begins at the completion of the union of his father's sperm an

The “Jenny from the Block” singer and her hubby were spotted yesterday at the Marchesa Fall 2008 show as part of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. And Marc wasn’t shy about his enthusiasm for fatherhood. “I’m excited to be a daddy! What’s not to be excited about?” Meanwhile J. Lo sounded almost as excited about the Marchesa dress she got to wear to the show. She told press, “We found one that fit! [The designer] knew kind of how big I was. I was like, ‘I want to come to the presentation.’ She was like, ‘OK,’ and sends a dress over.” “For the size I am right now, I mean it’s just still kin

I don't usually post news stories b/c, quite frankly, it's futile to try and compete with American Papist, Amy Welborn, Whispers, and Cafeteria is Closed. But, I haven't seen anything from them on this yet, so I thought I might as well post it.[Update: Scratch that. Cafeteria has coverage here. I suck.]I received this today via email, from the Cardinal Newman Society:Manassas, VA—The Massachusetts Alliance for Teen Pregnancy has found a seemingly unlikely ally to host a conference featuring Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts: The College of the Holy Cross. A training program is scheduled for Oct. 24 at the college campus, located in Worcester, Mass.The Catholic Newman Society has joined with alumni and other organizations in condemning what has been identified as a commercial relationship between the institution and these organizations.

Such is my excitement in welcoming the new member to our family. I am eagerly waiting for that moment”.When asked about Billa, Ajith said, “The film is coming out in a grand way. The new version will be technically sleek and will be our dedication to 'Superstar' Rajnikanth who immediately granted us the permission to remake the movie. Get ready for the fireworks

Read about it here. I’m not sure what the fuss is about here, Planned Parenthood was responsible for 264,943 deaths in it’s last fiscal year. Sounds like they got two birds with one stone to me. The suit, filed on behalf of Meloncon by her lawyer, Jack Schuler, alleges that Goode’s death was “a direct result of medical treatment she received from Planned Parenthood and a follow-up treatment she received from Riverside County health-care providers.” So were the 264,943 deaths I mentioned above.

During its 2005-2006 fiscal year, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America performed a record 264,943 abortions, attained a record profit of $55.8 million and received record taxpayer funding of $305.3 million. Isn’t it nice to know how your tax dollars are being spent? Doesn’t feel good to know you helped 264,943 people with their little problem? Whether you are pro-life or pro-death, eerr I mean choice, I don’t see any reason the government(You and I) should be paying for this. Doesn’t it also feel good to know we have contributed to a new record? The bottom line here is, if you are pro-choice and you want to donate to an organisation like Planned Parenthood, go ahead, don’t use my tax dollars for it. For the year July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006, Planned Parenthood received $345.1 million in clinic income, $305.3 million in taxpayer funding and $212.2 million in donations. Total income reached $902.8 million while total expenses came to $847.0

It seems as though since the parental notification law will be repealed by Governor Lynch it has opened the door for liberal teachers and councilors to use this to push their agenda. For those of you not familiar with New Hampshire, a law will soon be repealed by governor John Lynch that required a parent be notified if their underage daughter was going to have an abortion. A minor can’t have any medical procedure done, including x-rays, without a parent giving the okay, but they will be able to make a serious decision like abortion on their own. So anyway, a group called STAY, who have a program for at-risk middle school students seem to have decided that since a minor can sneak behind their parents back and have an abortion that they would have to show them how and where to get one if the parents aren’t there to give them a ride. They took MIDDLE SCHOOL students on a field trip to an abortion center. You can read about  it here. I hope governor Lynch is proud of the way

Planned Parenthood, the liberal group that proved abortion can be a money making racket, also proved that they are more than happy to cover-up acts of incest committed by perverted fathers. The real sad part is that they try to blame the pro-life crowd!

The suit in Ohio alleges that when the girl sought an abortion in November 2004 — she was 16 years old at the time — she told Planned Parenthood staff that her father was the baby’s father and that he had been raping her since 2000. Evidently reporting incest isn’t as important as the right to have an abortion. How could they not report this to the authorities? It’s disgraceful. It alleges that the employees did not comply with Ohio law, which requires them to report suspicion of rape and incest to authorities. The suit charges that failure to report the rape led to another year and a half of abuse. This is coming on the heels of this story, where planned parenthood encouraged a girl they thought was underage to lie about her age so no rape would have to be reported. What is happening to values in this country? How can this organization not report rape?

This kind of sounds like entrapment but it illustrates the kind of people we are dealing with in Planned Parenthood. A pregnant eighteen year old girl posed as a fifteen year old who wanted an abortion. Under the law, a statutory rape would have to be reported to the police. The answer? Lie. We must abort this baby with no questions. We must do it for the cause. California law requires abortion clinics to report instances of statutory rape to police. The age of consent in California is 16. In covertly-filmed video of the meeting between Rose and an unnamed Planned Parenthood employee, the staffer is heard to tell Rose: “If you’re 15, we have to report it … If you’re not, if you’re older than that, then we don’t need to.” “Okay, but if I just say I’m not 15, then it’s different?” Rose asks. “You could say 16,” the worker replies, later adding, “Just figure out a birth date that works. And I don’t

Even as a child, I knew I wanted children. I'd be a good parent, always there, always understanding, never judging. At eight years old I was helping out in the infant room of the daycare centre that we attended before and after school. I loved - and still do - love babies. During the summer, between grades 7 and 8, I stayed with my aunt after the birth of her second, to help out. Though, I may
