“You shall know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free” - John 8:32
Last week I contacted Senator Kay Hagan’s office urging her not to support Title X funding for Planned Parenthood. (Title X, pronounced title ten, is a federal government grant program providing money to family planning clinics, like Planned Parenthood) I reminded her staff that Planned Parenthood was immoral and hostile to women and they certainly did not have my approval as well as countless Americans. Unfortunately, it didn’t shock me when I received this response:
“Currently, the United States has some of the highest rates of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among industrialized countries. I feel strongly that we must work to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies by increasing planning and prevention and providing women with the healthcare and education they need to make positive life choices. To meet these objectives, I believe it is important to maintain funding for Planned Parenthood and Title X programs.” - Senator Kay Hagan
If I didn’t know better I would’ve read this and simply let it go, but I know the better! Job 29:16 says, “I was a father to the needy, and I investigated the case which I did not know.” After receiving this response from the Senator’s office I decided to investigate Planned Parenthood a bit deeper. I stumbled upon a series of essays written by various pro-life organizations in a document called, “The Truth Behind Planned Parenthood”. What I read was amazing. I’ve copied the first few paragraph’s to give you a brief idea just as to how much “healthcare” and “education” Planned Parenthood truly delivers to women:
You’ve heard of Planned Parenthood and may even have visited one of their facilities. But what do you really know about the mission of this organization that has such a strong presence in our society and such an impact on our culture? Think about it. Although Planned Parenthood passes itself off as promoting women’s health care, they push birth control pills identified by the World Health Organization as a Group 1 carcinogen.
Cancer is the second highest cause of death in American women. Does this sound like Planned Parenthood cares about women’s health? Planned Parenthood is the number one provider of abortions in the nation. Complications from abortion include future risk of premature birth and low birth weight, higher risk of maternal death, increasing with each abortion, links to mental illness, and sterility. Still think Planned Parenthood is the healthy choice?
How about your children? Planned Parenthood champions the use of condoms by teens and preteens for “safer sex.” Ask them how a condom can prevent herpes or human papillomavirus (HPV). Did you know more females die of complications related to HPV than AIDS? This exposé presents information and evidence about Planned Parenthood’s origins, their real purpose, where their massive funding comes from, and who they target, as well as their deceptive marketing and fraudulent business practices. - from Human Life Alliance
So the question is, “What did Job do after he investigated the case which he did not know?”
“I broke the jaws of the wicked and snatched the prey from his teeth.“ Job 29:17
It’s time to tell the truth about Planned Parenthood. It’s time to watch the truth break the jaw of this horrific organization and snatch the innocent and needy women & children from its teeth! Please tell your friends, loved ones, congregations, and employees the truth today about Planned Parenthood.
