Pro Life thoughts in a pro choice world through the eyes of a convert.
I took early retirement after working in the social work and Human Resources fields but remain active by being involved in pro life education, lobbying and speaking .
"Attention
Parents: This "nonprofit group" is currently active in the Knox County
School system (see the section "Calendar of Events"). You can Google
"planned parenthood" and "setting the record straight" and bring up the
page from the time of the Knox County controversy. It is clearly stated
on the PP page, under the section at the bottom, "What our education
department is doing in east Tennessee," that "We are active members of
Knoxville's Faith Coalition, KAPPI (Knoxville Adolescent Pregnancy
Prevention Initiative, and the World AIDS Day planning committee."
So they are bringing the information in through a different avenue. PP wants access to your children edging out the parents in their own style. It is not so much as what they say in the classroom presentation as it is gaining credibility as information providers to your kids. They can encourage them to look them up through social media and then that is where it gets really interesting! Check out some of their award winning websites such as Takecaredownthere.org. Prepare to be shocked! I know they pride themselves on being sooooo non judgmental. Really??? Take this line from PP's own website..
"Research shows us that shame-based, abstinence-only education does not work."
I have heard Carol Everett who wrote the book Blood Money and it was a real eye opener. I thought I was well versed in what goes on in the abortion industry but after hearing her I realized I was a novice. Just like when I heard Jill Stanek, I never heard of live birth abortions before. But to get back to the point....isn't it interesting that free speech is only honored by the hard left when it is in agreement with their agenda and favorable to the abortion industry.
“The pro-aborts ran amok,” our Legislative Director quipped. “The Spectrum
Theatre caved.”
The documentary is called “Blood
Money” and was made, in part, by a local, independent film-maker. Originally
set to premiere May 5th and 6th at the Spectrum Theatre in Albany, the theatre
canceled “after receiving phone calls from pro-abortion interests who threatened
to protest and disrupt the showing of the film.” This, despite one of the
showings already being sold out and demonstrating continuing strong sales.
Local advocates of the film described the situation as such:
The film contains interviews of whistle-blowing former employees of the
abortion industry who expose the deceitful tactics used by the billion dollar
Planned Parenthood corporation to increase its profits without regard to ethical
practices. This film has potential to be released nationally based upon its
popularity in the Capitol District.
Because the film was shut down, the local film-maker, Roman Jaquez had no
choice but to meet disappointed ticket holders outside the theater to refund
their money.
Nonetheless, enthused pro-lifers decided to hold a prayer vigil outside the theater during the original show times. They claimed to represent a threefold
message:
[To] support full rights of pre-born human beings.
[To show that we] are unhappy about how threats of protests are
stifling the free speech rights of Roman, a local independent film maker.
[To] support a heroic artist who is standing up to threats by
supporters of a billion dollar industry attempting to prevent its former
employees from revealing its unethical
practices.
Events taking place this week in Albany are truly disturbing for a number of
reasons. Foremost, it illustrates the tremendous lengths pro-abortion interests
will go to spin every pro-life message into an evil
caricature — in this case, something not even worthy of free speech. This is
a tactic not about “choice,” of course, but ensuring the societal view toward
the pro-life cause as “evil” and “anti-woman”
while abortion is “standard” and “uncontroversial.”
Relatedly, what this incident demonstrates is the concerning trend among leftists
to deny legitimate political speech by their opponents; this, despite the fact
that their modus operandi is making political points in the most
outrageous manner imaginable. Somehow, sending symbolic coat hangers
to politicians is an acceptable form of expression, yet a film exposing the
realities of the abortion industry is utterly impermissible. What possible sense
is there in this?
Take a look at the trailer below and judge for yourself if the film is unfit
for the silver screen. It looks to provide a fascinating account of the unseemly
history and practices of the American abortion movement. Such a perspective has
generally enjoyed pitiable publicity. With enough support (which you can lend here), the film can go
national.
