Terms of Deceit
Don’t you just hate it when words evolve into meanings of convenience? The abortion defenders have slanted slogans for their own deceptive devices. For instance, “Women’s reproductive rights” sounds just, doesn’t it? But have we overlooked the reality that one half of the abortions terminate the life of a “very little woman”? Where are their rights? And how about “abortion is between a woman and her God”? We’re so tolerant in that PC statement! But whose god permits the dismemberment of a tiny baby’s body? Or approves of the gruesome atrocity of the partial birth abortion procedure? This phrase attempts to impose a moral framework on an immoral act. Finally, “Every child a wanted child”. Isn’t that a loving philosophy? In actuality it reduces children to objects worthy of life only if someone “wants” them. Studies indicate that abuse occurs in situation where the child was originally “wanted”. We believe true humanity measure how we treat all humans. Other similar phrases attempt to deceive as well; such as: “No one knows when life begins” and the whole “fetus” term replacing “baby”! In conclusion, words have meaning and we oppose the pro-abortion’s deceptive tactic of slanting phrases for their agenda of death!

Valentine’s Day L-O-V-E
L-O-V-E
Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Cards, candy and carnations were lavished on millions! But this true-life story beats all: A high school teacher presented her class with a scenario and invited discussion: An intelligent girl from a poverty-stricken family became pregnant and would have to forfeit her college scholarship unless she “terminated the pregnancy.” What should she do? The students all commented that abortion was her only solution. It was then that a young man stood up and voiced his opinion. “If it were up to all of you, I would not be here today.” He elaborated by explaining his birth mother had been in a similar situation, but loved him enough to place him in the nurturing arms of adoptive parents. The moving testimony evoked apologies and tears of empathy from his peers. The teacher also acknowledged that diligent inquiries can often yield satisfactory alternatives. The love displayed by this boy’s birth mother cannot be overstated. She found the courage to look beyond her selfishness and dire circumstances to bring life and joy into the hearts of others. Over and above a February celebration of flowers and chocolate, this is true love!

Babies, Birth & Beauty
Having just returned home from being present at the amazing, miraculous birth of my new granddaughter, I am once more dumbfounded at the pro-abortion demographic. Have they never witnessed this incredible, beautiful process? For many women, our maternal inclinations have had us chatting about labor and delivery for centuries. It’s who we are; it gives us identity; it gives us beauty! I wonder if the majority of pro-choice women have never given birth. Or, is it that they have never given the Creator the credit for the marvel of childbirth. Or is it simply that the selfish ambitions of life outweigh the prospect of nurturing a defenseless, needy baby. Whatever the reason, our Lord grieves at every abortion. Conversely, God exalts in the beauty of every incredible birth. It’s one of His finest moments! I’m grateful to be a pro-life advocate that appreciates the sanctity of life and beauty of every tiny baby, most recently my sweet granddaughter!

Superbowl’s Superbold Tebow Ad
We’re so proud of Tim Tebow’s parents and Focus on the Family for the tenacity displayed dispite the reckless, panicked attempts from the Anti-Life Left to silence them. The $2.5 million, 30-second ad came during the 1st half after a week-long, highly publicized, non-stop media campaign from the pro-aborts waged at CBS under the mistaken notion that “Focus” would use this as an overt anti-abortion platform. Wrong! The light-hearted ad simply celebrated Life and Family. It concluded by directing viewers to the Focus websitehttp://http://www.focusonthefamily.com/ to see the full story of this incredible journey. Without giving too much away, this heartwarming interview is highlighted by the Heisman trophy winner’s parents detailing the dire circumstances surrounding Mrs. Tebow’s pregnancy and insistance by her physician to abort. Obviously, she did not! Tebow does not take his beginning lightly. Tauted as a strong role model, the quarterback has boldly displayed scripture on his face during his years with the Florida Gaters and travels extensively sharing the Gospel. His father reminds him that someday he will be a preacher. Mom contends he already is! The interview concludes by encouraging women with unplanned pregnancies to seek help through the many pregnancy crisis centers and that “God is for Life”. We say the ad - though not the strong pro-life message many expected - was a touchdown!

Planned Parenthood & Obama
Planned Parenthood’s Failure is Obama’s Survival!
If Planned Parenthood had had their way, our 44th president would not have survived. Are you familiar with the history of PP? It’s not pretty. Beginning shortly after the Civil War the “negro problem” was addressed by Charles Darwin’s cousin through eugenics where only the “fit” were permitted to reproduce; and abortion and sterilization were forced on some 64,000 “unfits”. Would Obama have survived?
In the 1920’s Margaret Sanger (PP’s founder) renamed the Black Project the American Birth Control League (ABCL) and aimed to diminish the reproduction of Blacks until they were extinct. Her reputation earned her an invitation to speak at a Ku Klux Klan meeting and a dozen similar groups. Would Obama have survived?
In the 1940’s Adolf Hitler so praised the work of the ABCL that Sanger cunningly changed its name to Planned Parenthood, fearing the outrage of the American populace.
The 1960’s saw the ambitious Sanger believing that birth permits should be mandatory; where a woman becoming pregnant without a permit would be forced to have an abortion. Guess which ethnicity would not be permitted “permits”? Would Obama have survived?
Planned Parenthood’s leaders also advanced the legalization of abortion ruing the fact that before 1973 abortions were expensive and primarily only the wealthy, white women could afford them. That had to change! Following their victory with Roe Vs. Wade abortion clinics were strategically built in minority areas to continue their extermination plot.
And now, in 2010, Planned Parenthood will receive more than one million dollars every day from the pockets of you, the Taxpayer, targeted toward the continued extinction of the black community! This organization kills more African Americans in 4 days than the KKK killed in 150 years! Margaret Sanger would have been proud, but Obama would not have survived.

Haiti and Life’s Sanctity
As we gravely watch the explicit coverage of the Haitian earthquake and the accompanying tragic stories, may we consider anew how very sacred is a human life! What heroic feats are being expended to rescue those trapped in the crumbling rubble! Hundred of lives being saved thanks to the love, prayer and aid given by thousands of sacrificial individuals. And now, may we also consider the sanctity of human life as early as conception in the womb? This Sunday, Jan. 24th, marks the 37th anniversary of the infamous Roe V. Wade decision that legalized abortion on demand here in America. How many babies have NOT been rescued from this travesty? Approximately 50 million! Hard to imagine.
As Christians, we have the opportunity and privilege to share God’s truth with women who find themselves “trapped” by the helplessness of an unplanned pregnancy. We can offer compassion and hope for their future. This is the work here at the Caring Pregnancy Center. By reaching out and extending care, support and encouragement, we believe a woman’s life can be changed forever - to rescue her from the entrapment of hopelessness into the secure and eternal freedom in Jesus. We invite you to come alongside us in this rescue effort offering opportunities to volunteer in several areas listed in the link for Services. May God bless you!
And pray for the victims in Haiti!

Unwrap That Present!
What gift did you inwardly desire for Christmas? Did someone know; then spend the time, energy and money to purchase it for you? How will you receive such a present? Is the gift stilll wrapped elegantly with some fancy ribbon; laying unopened and unappreciated and unused under the tree?
How would the “Giver” feel if such pains were taken for the perfect gift and it never unwrapped? That’s God! He knew our inward need of a Savior, spent eternity choosing our Gift and paid the ultimate price in sacrificing Him on the tree for us. Yet year after year millions choose to keep the gift on the tree, never untying the ribbon to be set free.
We at the CPC want to be the ribbon cutters. Throughout the year our volunteers extend their hearts to women and men through sharing the truths of life and pure lifestyles, providing post abortion healing Bible studies and offering the hope of Jesus Christ. If you have not unwrapped this Ultimate Christmas Present, please do. If you have, please partner with in prayer for those who have not.
Merry Christmas!

JOY in Jesus’ Birth
What’s your favorite Christmas song? Many would respond, “Silent Night”. (Hopefully it’s not “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”!) Personally, mine is “Joy to the World”. The harmony is beautiful and the rhythm is paced for praise. It originated as a poem penned by Isaac Watts in 1719 interpretting Psalm 98: 4: “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord...” Unfortunately Watts died long before Lowell Mason - a Georgian banker - merged the lyrics with Handel’s “Messiah” melody in 1839. This song wasn’t initially designed to be a Christmas hymn, but rather to celebrate Christ’s return! Whatever the original intent, we’re grateful for this song’s presence on the Christmas carol list!
As we celebrate Life - especially the Savior’s birth and Light to us at Christmas time - let us all be thankful for the sanctity of life and let us all share our “Joy to the World”.

Abortion means “Going Green?”
What do climate change and abortion have in common? Tons. “Tons” of cabon dioxide emissions, according to some radical environmentalists. They actually promote aborton to protect this planet! Here are a few snippets of this left-wing wordview:
*The Optimas Population Trust concluded that abortion should be considered a “primary method
of solving global warming”.l
*Clubs such as National Wildlife Federation, Audubon Society and Sierra Club suggest that people are
“a major threat to the environment”.
*A late term abortionist calls humans a “malignant eco-tumor”
*Oregon State University states that the best thing we can do for the environment is “to not have
any children at all.” See accompanying article: http://http://www.lifeissues.org/connector/2009/Oct09_Dark_Side_to_Green.htm
We believe that God has an eternal purpose for every conception that occurs. He commnaded Noah,"Be
fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.” Gen. 9:1 We stand on these truths from the Supreme Life-Giver. We
know that man-made global warming is a bad joke and has sober consequences if seriously considered.

It’s Her Choice! Planned Parenthood’s Director Quits!
It’s Her Choice!
We join the pro-life community in celebrating the recent resignation of Planned Parenthood’s director who has seen the light of truth. Abby Johnson, 29, had for 8 years assisted women in making choices about their unintended pregnancies, many choosing abortion. But one day Abby saw an ultrasound-guided abortion, was shocked at his beautiful tiny body, saw him die and quit her job! Abby is now a voice speaking out against the pro-choice camp. We have long recognized the reality that education enlightens individuals to the truth of abortion’s heinousness. One need only see an ultrasound of an abortion procedure - as Abby did- to be convinced of this atrocity. We’ll continue to hope many more make this enlightened discovery and flee from Planned Parenthood’s death mill.

Worth the Bucks? This Works!
Worth the Bucks? This works!
Don’t you wonder where all our tax money goes? Actually, when I hear how some of it is appropriated I’m often angry and sometimes revolted! But eliminating funds for a statistically effective area of education is not the prudent choice! Speaking of sex ed, opinions run rampant. What are our kids learning? The CPC has a great Love Waits program, but we are also ardent advocates for the efficacious, abstinence-only curriculum that is currently being funded. The CDC and 10 different studies have corroborated the significant conclusion that abstinence-only sex ed truly reduces teen sexual activity. And now we hear that this Administration has zeroed out all funding for abstinence education in their 2010 budget. Hmmmmm.

Abortion in the “Bill”?
With the late Saturday night passage of the 1,990 plus page House version of the health care reform bill, it brings to a climax months of analysis, debate and opposition. One specific provision inserted by D-Rep. Bart Stupak lends a small measure of consolation.
Formerly known as the Hyde Amendment (1976) the Stupak Amendment provides language that would prohibit federal funds from paying for abortions. (Except in the cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.) We commend Rep. Stupak for this legitimate provision in an otherwise reprehensible legislative attack on the greatest health care system in the world.
We can only pray that this language is not insidiously removed before the Senate votes on this bill in the near future.

America is now Pro-Life!
Four polls show strong pro-life trend
Gallup.com reports, “A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves “pro-life” on the issue of abortion and 42% “pro-choice,” This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.” A May 12-13 Fox New (http://www.foxnews.com) poll of registered voters reported 49% were pro-life and 43% “pro-choice,’ compared to 41% pro-life and 49% “pro-choice” last September. A May 5 Rasmussen Report (http://www.rasmussenreports.com) said that 58% of Americans say abortion “is morally wrong most of the time,” and Pew Research (http://www.people-press.org) reported on April 30 that public support for decriminalized abortion had dropped from 54% in August 2008 to 46% in April.

An Open letter to My Future Husband
Why is it guys have this crazy idea that they’ve got to prove their “manhood” by being sexually experienced? Yet, many of those same guys say they want to marry a virgin! Is this a double standard?
“The following article from Feb. 2009’s Life Issues Connector magazine lays out a lovely letter from a young girl dreaming about Mr. Right.
