Planned Parenthood spokesperson Shelby Cloke told the media abortions will not be performed there. But on Planned Parenthood’s website, first on its list of services for the new location is, “Abortion Referral.”

We had an affect on a couple of passing cars that we do know about. One gentleman pulled into the parking lot and walked over through the rain to give us $20. That will go to the Respect Life committee at my parish, Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Another man and his young son pulled up and brought us two trays of hot chocolate from a local coffee shop.

Abstinence vs. contraception

Today’s “Dear Abby” reveals the false thinking of the Planned Parenthood crowd. A 15 year old girl writes: “I’m 15. I have dated since I was 12 but never told my parents and sort of went out of my way to hide it from them. I had sex when I was 13, but was always careful about using birth control. I’m on the pill and always use condoms.”

Give the voiceless a voice

I have a question for you. When is the last time someone starved to death in America? I’m not saying it hasn’t happened, but I suspect if it did, it would be front page news with screaming headlines. By the same token, a million plus human abortions are performed in this country every year. It is not news …
