The Church's teaching on sexuality that lies behind its teaching that contraception is intrinsically immoral is dazzlingly beautiful.
Many people whose understanding has been clouded by the corruption of our culture have difficulty understanding it.
09/ 04/08Planned Parenthood, the billion dollar corporate abortion mill, has taken indecency to a whole new level and is using your taxpayer dollars to do so.
09/ 03/08The risk John McCain took last Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his A-4 under the Golden Gate Bridge.
McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history. As of now, it is paying off, big-time.
09/ 03/08During my last pregnancy, I qualified for excellent, free state medical insurance because of our lower income. My husband is in graduate school for a while. This insurance coverage is part of the state's healthy start program for pregnant women and young kids.

08/ 31/08When asked about when life begins Pelosi answered "...what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the Church have not been able to make that definition.”
08/ 26/08Monday was the first day that Planned Parenthood, which operates the only abortion business in South Dakota, had to comply with a new state law telling women the truth about abortion. Rather than tell women abortion kills children and has numerous risks, Planned Parenthood closed its doors.
07/ 22/08Last year, Planned Parenthood performed more than 250,000 abortions, which account for about 1 in 5 of our country's total. Of all abortions, those performed for black women accounted for about a third of the procedures. It's also worth noting that a majority of Planned Parenthood's clinics are in minority neighborhoods.
07/ 15/08Day Gardner: Planned Parenthood has basically bought off Barack Obama
07/ 15/08Democratic and Republican candidates must reject donations from Planned Parenthood this election year, and Congress should end all federal funding for the abortion provider, according to black pro-life leaders who held two press conferences last week in Washington, D.C., at Democratic and Republican Party Committee headquarters.
07/ 03/08For the last few decades, evangelicals repeatedly have mobilized and demonstrated to oppose the operation of abortion clinics.

07/ 03/08Exit poll after exit poll in election after election shows the Democratic Party is staunchly supported by an overwhelming majority of African-American voters, many of whom are much more socially conservative on issues like abortion than their party leadership.

06/ 27/08During the last few years, everyone in the nation has come to understand that things are not always the way they appear with individuals or organizations. While all of us struggle to live up to our ideals, some groups live permanently in the land of personal or professional compromise.

Thank you for printing "When will they look into Planned Parenthood's obscene profits?" (June 6), by Michelle Malkin.
It is shameful that Planned Parenthood, whose primary purpose is to kill unborn babies by abortion, receives $337 million of our hard-earned taxes. It is even more shameful that this is occurring at a time when this controversial business is reaping massive yearly profits of $115 million, and continues to be exposed by scandal after scandal.
Perhaps the elected officials who are throwing money at Planned Parenthood can humor us by titling their legislation "the Human Pest Control Funding Bill." The dictionary defines a "pest" as a person or thing causing constant annoyance; a thing to be avoided or done away with as soon as possible. As vulgar as the analogy might seem to be for the sensitive person, let's face it: Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics are human pest-control centers. They give new meaning to the word "pesticide." No wonderful gift from God should ever be treated as if he or she is a pest or nuisance, defined as "not valuable."
Planned Parenthood charges more than $400 for an abortion at 10 weeks. By this time, an unborn baby has a beating heart, recordable brain waves, all of his organs in place and perfectly formed hands and feet. Planned Parenthood refers only one baby for adoption for every 120 babies it kills. Compare this to Care Pregnancy Centers and Birthright, nonprofit organizations that receive little or no government funding, that provide free, confidential help to women with crisis pregnancies -- and save their babies, too.
Thomas Jefferson once wrote "The care of human life and happiness, and not its destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government." It's time to de-fund Planned Parenthood.
