Once again, a new year is upon us ... we look back to the old at the same time we glance forward. There are some interesting developments. On Nov. 27, the Planned Parenthood Association of B.C. changed their name. I have no idea why they felt that the name "Planned Parenthood" no longer warranted a letterhead. That is for others to speculate. [...]
The Interim has discovered that the federal government has given nearly $5 million to the Planned Parenthood Federation of Canada over the past five years. Furthermore, Planned Parenthood has seen its federal grants increase in each of the past five years. According to documents obtained by The Interim, specifically the Registered Charity Information Return that all charities must complete for Revenue Canada [...]
See Also: The 'wisdom' of Margaret Sanger Good and moral people can make a difference The recent discoveries that Planned Parenthood may be engaged in covering up the sexual exploitation of young girls, and in protecting the men who commit the crimes, is not the only, recent black mark on the organization's record. According to Life Dynamics Inc., recordings of telephone conversations [...]
LifeSite News "In its never-ending effort to promote the gospel of 'choice,' Planned Parenthood has chosen to mock the Christian faith by issuing a holiday card with the message, 'Choice on Earth,'" reports Jim Sedlak of Stop Planned Parenthood International (STOPP), a project of the American Life League. "Planned Parenthood likes to portray itself as a tolerant organization constantly searching for diversity. [...]
In an ongoing dispute over Bill Whatcott's insistent anti-abortion picketing campaign, a Saskatchewan Planned Parenthood agency recently launched a lawsuit against Whatcott and his supporters. Citing defamation and harassment, Planned Parenthood Regina filed a statement of claim against Whatcott and all other members of the Christian Truth Activists. The lawsuit, filed on June 21, claimed Whatcott and the Christian Truth Activists are [...]
By Tim Bloedow The Interim Planned Parenthood has probably had better days. Facing setbacks at the local level and even to their international operation, the national branch in Canada is also facing an attack. Not long ago, the pro-abortion purveyor of sex education and contraceptives was seen as unassailable by many of its opponents, having become entrenched as the organization of preference [...]
A few weeks ago Planned Parenthood was found on the front page of my daily newspaper crying crocodile tears about the scandalous rate of abortion in Canada, which it seems has increased every year between 1985 and 1997, when it stood at 33.5 abortions for every 100 live births. This is very interesting in light of the fact that one of Planned [...]
Those who think the international behemoth of Planned Parenthood can't be beaten - at least at the local level - should look to the experience of Hamilton. Just three years ago, the Planned Parenthood clinic in the Steel City's downtown core was raking in $359,000 in annual funding (or 51 per cent of the area's budget for "sexual health"), allowing it to [...]
Population conference says 10-year-olds have right to contraception and ‘safe' abortions Between June 30 and July 2, a special session of the General Assembly of the United Nations reviewed the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development. Planners of Cairo+5, including the pro-abortion United Nations Population Fund and the International Planned Parenthood Federation, sought to expand abortion rights and contraception access, as [...]
Is Planned Parenthood good for our communities? Those in the Canadian pro-life, pro-family scene face the challenge of trying to relate to the public at large why the world's foremost proponent of contraception and so-called reproductive rights is, in fact, bad news. Attendees at this year's National Pro-Life Conference in Ancaster, Ont., just outside of Hamilton, will get some expert insights into [...]
It was good while it lasted. After a three-year gap, the municipal council in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ont. has decided to fund the local Planned Parenthood chapter to the tune of $25,000 in the coming year. The move comes after municipal elections that saw a few more pro-Planned Parenthood councillors (including the mayor) added to the roster. Three years ago, the municipal council cut [...]
WASHINGTON -- Douglas R. Scott, president of Life Decisions International, Jan. 9 called the significant increase in Planned Parenthood's abortion business "scandalous" and said the organization's leaders have "created a lucrative climate for abortion." The 1996-1997 Planned Parenthood Federation of America Annual Report notes that the organization's personnel committed 153,367 abortions during the last reporting period, compared to 139,899 in the previous [...]
Interim Special I was personally offended when Planned Parenthood recently announced plans to give its Margaret Sanger Award to the BBC documentary “The Dying Rooms.” Don’t get me wrong: The documentary is a wonderful and courageous piece of work. An undercover camera crew managed to gain entry to China’s state-run orphanages and videotape the mistreatment and murder of the girls there. I [...]
Pro-life communities are not the only ones making an appeal young people. A recent item circulated by Pro-Life E News Canada shows that Planned Parenthood of America is also looking to appeal to youth. PP has designated May as National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month. To mark the occasion, PP has invited teenagers from across America to discuss “responsible, healthy choices” made regarding [...]
From its humble beginnings in a small Brooklyn, N.Y. clinic before First World War, the Planned Parenthood organization has grown quickly into an international behemoth with tentacles reaching into all corners of the world. With the active support of people in high places, the organization today serves as the world’s leader in a number of areas troubling to persons of faith, morality, [...]
