Planned Parenthood (PP) released its annual report this week. It would appear that for Planned Parenthood, crime does pay -- as long as it is crime against humanity.
Last year, while the rest of the nation was seeing a downward trend in relation to abortions, Planned Parenthood was perpetrating over 15,000 more abortions than the year before, for a grand total of 305,310 (while apparently offering no post-abortion counseling to the women who enter into PP's "clinics.")
Added to this mayhem, Planned Parenthood distributed over 1.4 million "emergency contraceptive kits" containing the abortifacient called the "morning after pill."
During this time the organization only did 4,912 adoption referrals.
All this proved very profitable to Planed Parenthood as they posted a net profit of $1.014 BILLION. A clear 34 percent of that figure came from you - the U.S. taxpayer. Government grants to Planned Parenthood allowed the abortion industry to spend on a variety of things including contributing $10 million to elect President Obama and spending close to $1 million to lobby Congress for even more cash, claiming poverty in this time of economic crisis!
This investment by Planned Parenthood has paid handsomely as increases in government funding have led to an increase in the number of abortions the group performs. Only when the abortion industry is completely separated from the government funding spigot will President Obama have any credibility when he says he wants to "reduce the number of abortions." Local governments like Orange County, California and Corpus Christi, Texas have realized this and defunded their local PP's - when will Congress?

Filibuster Nomination of Judge David Hamilton
Fromt the "Pray in Jesus Name Project":
URGENT NEW PETITION!
Please click, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition automatically to ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS right away (saving you hours of labor)!
Dear Citizen Activists, To the delight of many liberal groups, NO REPUBLICAN SENATORS have yet promised to filibuster this bad nomination of the most dangerous liberal extremist, anti-Life, anti-Liberty, anti-Jesus Judge David Hamilton to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. We must demand a filibuster to oppose him. President Barack Obama has just nominated federal Judge David Hamilton, who has issued controversial rulings (banning public prayers offered "in Jesus name," and hastening the abortion of unborn children), to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals (the same court that has reversed his aggressive decisions for many years).
PLEASE SELECT HERE TO SIGN AND FAX YOUR PERSONALIZED PETITION TO ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS, OPPOSING THE ANTI-LIFE, ANTI-CHRISTIAN JUDGE DAVID HAMILTON.
Judge Hamilton is the worst of Obama's 15 new liberal appeals court appointees. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals covers Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois. Since most cases never reach the Supreme Court, the federal appellate circuits often provide the last word on cases affecting life and liberty.
READ THE FACTS: The Judicial Confirmation Network quickly opposed Hamilton's nomination, stating that "President Obama's first nominee to the federal appeals courts -- specifically the appeals court based in Chicago -- is an ultra-liberal named David Hamilton who is a former fundraiser for ACORN and former leader of the Indiana chapter of the ACLU. He was nominated to the district court bench by President Clinton even though he had no judicial experience and was rated as 'not qualified' by the American Bar Association ." Hamilton ruled in 2005 to ban the practice of opening the chamber's business with prayers mentioning Jesus Christ or using terms such as "Savior." He said that amounted to state endorsement of a religion. (But he ruled prayers to "Allah" were perfectly lawful.)
ANTI-JESUS, BUT PRO-ALLAH? Judge Hamilton wrote: "The injunction orders the Speaker...that the prayers should not use Christ's name or title or any other denominational appeal...If those offering prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives choose to use the Arabic 'Allah'...the court sees little risk that the choice of language would advance a particular religion or disparage others. " In other words, Judge Hamilton ruled the words "Jesus" or "Christ" are illegal words, prohibited for public speech, banned by the First Amendment, which somehow prohibits freedom of religious expression, and makes Christian prayers ILLEGAL in a public forum. (What crazy version of the First Amendment is he reading?)
Thank God, I took action in 2007 and provided legal arguments to the Indiana Attorney General who appealed to the 7th Circuit Court and WE WON a 2-1 decision overruling Hamilton, restoring the right to pray "in Jesus name" in Indiana.
PLEASE SELECT HERE TO SIGN AND FAX YOUR PERSONALIZED PETITION TO ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS, OPPOSING THE ANTI-LIFE, ANTI-CHRISTIAN JUDGE DAVID HAMILTON.
ANTI-LIFE BUT PRO-ABORTION?
In 2003, Judge Hamilton struck down part of an Indiana law on abortion. The reasonable law had required abortion clinics to simply give women information about alternatives to abortion in the presence of a physician or nurse, 18 hours before the procedure, until Hamilton ruled to hasten abortions . But thank God, the 7th Circuit Court also reversed Hamilton's bad decision in that case.
If confirmed now Hamilton will sit on that 7th Circuit Court (the same court that frequently overruled him) with terrible power to rule the heartland with his anti-life, anti-liberty, anti-Christian agenda.
WE CAN WIN THIS BATTLE!
We've already sent thousands of faxes to the full Senate, and we're getting results! On April 1st, Senator Orrin Hatch led all Republicans to walk out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in protest against the Democrat "rush job" to confirm Judge Hamilton. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, said he was troubled by Hamilton's ruling against a sectarian prayer to open the Indiana House of Representatives. Even Senator Arlen Specter expressed concern. But will they vote unanimously against Hamilton?
Unfortuantely retiring RINO Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) endorsed Hamilton, endangering his own state of Indiana and ruining his own legacy. Lugar's five phone numbers are: Indianapolis (317) 226-5555, Evansville (812) 465-6313, Fort Wayne (260) 422-1505, Valparaiso (219) 548-8035, DC Office (202) 224-4814. Everybody please call all five numbers today, and especially ask your Indiana friends to call Sen. Lugar .
Then please forward this email to your Indiana-Illinois-Wisconsin friends, and to all pastors in all 50 states, and click here to download a church flyer that pastors can copy and distribute.
But first, take action right now! I pray you will not hesitate, but sign the petition and WE WILL FAX your petition right away, automatically to all 100 U.S. Senators...

P.S. Time is urgent! The Senate could vote on this confirmation as early as mid-April. If you click and sign today, we will forward your name immediately. Please don't wait another minute. Life, Liberty, and Jesus are too important to be banned by one extremist judge.

Oh NO! Sarah has a tanning bed!!!
What a scandal! How horrible! How can anyone vote for a woman who would have a tanning bed put in at the Governor's Mansion? Horror!
Who are they kidding? They (the media, Barack Obama's crew, the Democrats?) are trying to make a scandal out of Sarah Palin buying a tanning bed with her own money and putting it in the Governor's Mansion? Why? Because it's harmful to her skin?
I don't use one anymore, but getting inside a tanning bed and shutting out the world for fifteen minutes is like taking a mini-vacation from the world. Nice and warm and no noise from the outside world!
Of all the silly things to raise a fuss about! I know they're trying to find something bad on Sarah, but I don't think it really matters what they find unless it turns out she's pro-abortion or something along those lines.
Imagine having all the media and worker-bees running around digging into your life looking for some horrible secret or just something they could twist into a negative story!
They're trying to make the so-called "trooper gate" into an October surprise. I've read some of her emails, I've heard all the discussions about the situation and there's nothing there. Between you and me, even if it had turned out that she fired the guy because he wouldn't fire the guy who threatened to kill her father and tasered his stepson, I wouldn't care. If he's that ignorant and mean spirited then he shouldn't be working for her. The trooper was found guilty of tasering his stepson and making death threats and all he got was a five-day suspension. I would say that the guy who got fired was trying to stick it to Sarah. He openly thwarted her wishes, was insubordinate and she had the right to fire him for having a hang nail if she wanted. He served at her will.
Ah well, they keep trying to make mountains out of the proverbial mole hill and so far they haven't found anything that will stick. She's the Teflon woman! She's superwoman!

Bristol's Pregnancy
News is out that unwed daughter of Sarah and Todd Palin is pregnant. I'm sure the press is going to make a huge deal out of it.
The 17-year old is five months along and is planning to marry the father.
As the aunt of a niece who got preggers when she was 16, I can tell you it's a shocker, it's difficult and it is heart-breaking. These kids don't have a clue what they're getting into and it changes their entire life.
I know the family went through their own kind of hell when their jewel of a daughter told them she was going to have a baby.
I love it that the Palin's are standing behind their daughter and that the youngster has decided to keep her baby. So many would opt for an abortion and take the "easy" (in their mind at that time) way out.
We have a gorgeous little one-year old now who is delightful. Yes, grandma is more involved that she would have been had her daughter been older and stable. Yes, it has made life a lot more difficult for all involved. However, we stood behind her decision to have her daughter. She made a bad choice, a really bad choice, compounded by the fact that the father was not responsible (and boy are we glad he's out of the picture!).
I know Bristol's pregnancy will somewhat tarnish the image of Sarah Palin as VP in some people's minds. Hopefully the Left and Right will praise her for standing with her daughter.
John McCain knew about the pregnancy when he selected Sarah Palin. Kudos to him for still making the choice despite this personal issue the Palins are facing.
Here's the statement released by the Palin's:
"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.
"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."
