Planned Parenthood to the rescue?

“At the moment of fertilization, a new and unique human being comes into existence with its own distinct genetic code. Twenty-three chromosomes from the mother and twenty-three chromosomes from the father combine to result in a brand-new and totally unique genetic combination...” (Source: Prenatal Development - Abort73.com)

On the corner of Forest Park and Boyle Avenues in St. Louis, Missouri is a large, white brick building. On the front is a sign identifying it as “Planned Parenthood.” A large colorful banner also hangs on the front of the building. It shows a female medical professional standing next to a young woman, and both are smiling as though they haven’t a care in the world. At the top of the banner in bold text is the question: “Need Emergency Contraception?” Underneath this text and on the side next to the smiling women in smaller text is “No Exam, No Hassle, No Delay.” Then underneath the picture are the words in bold type “Planned Parenthood To The Rescue!”

Let’s take a closer look at Planned Parenthood and the abortifacient Plan B (an emergency contraceptive) they promote and see if it really is something to be dispensed with “No Exam,” No Hassle” and “No Delay” to women.

The AAPLOG (American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists) wrote this in a letter to the Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in August of 2006
(Source: http://www.aaplog.org/newslettertofdaplanb.htm ):

“Two studies examining emergency contraception (EC) have demonstrated that ready availability of emergency contraception does not produce a reduction in either abortion rates or unintended pregnancy rates… “AAPLOG has an additional concern: it appears that the ectopic pregnancy rate following Plan B use can be as high as 6%... Additionally, approximately 20% or more of Plan B label comprehension subjects did not understand the potential seriousness of severe abdominal pain that may occur after using Plan B ( a symptom of possible ectopic pregnancy)...”

The letter then went on to express concern that “Plan B’s labeling does not give adequate notice to a potential user that Plan B may prevent the implantation of a human embryo (e.g., a fertilized ovum) as one mechanism of action, thus acting as an abortifacient...”

Please know I have witnessed young women leaving Planned Parenthood with only brokenness and sorrow after aborting their preborn babies. Other young women leave with pain, nausea and faintness after purchasing “emergency contraception” such as Plan B and are then sent outside to wait for a ride home. I have seen very few women leave with smiles on their faces unless they have changed their minds about ending their pregnancy and have chosen to let their baby live.

Please be warned: Planned Parenthood is not your friend, and they cannot rescue you from a life of sorrow and sin. There is only one rescuer who can save you and give you a new life full of joy and hope: Jesus Christ. Please place your trust in Him. Amen.

Wisdom from Elisabeth Elliot: "Let Me Be a Woman"

Let Me Be a Woman by Elisabeth Elliot "This is what I understand to be the essence of femininity. It means surrender. Think of a bride. She surrenders her independence, her name, her destiny, her will, herself to the bridegroom in marriage. ... The first woman was made specifically for the first man, a helper, to meet, respond to, surrender to, and complement him. God made her from the man, out of his very bone, and then He brought her to the man. When Adam named Eve, he accepted responsibility to “husband” her—to provide for her, to cherish her, to protect her. These two people together represent the image of God—one of them in a special way the initiator, the other the responder. Neither the one nor the other was adequate alone to bear the divine image. God put these two in a perfect place and—you know the rest of the story. Eve, in her refusal to accept the will of God, refused her femininity. Adam, in his capitulation to her suggestion, abdicated his masculine responsibility f...

A discerning look at 'Biblical Patriarchy' and those who abuse it

By Angela Wittman While much of what Doug Phillips teaches regarding Patriarchy sounds biblical, because of the lack of practical application, his teachings are often taken to extremes. Sometimes, men just hear his vision of men always “leading,” and they become domineering and demanding, causing undue stress on the wife. I know of one family that divorced precisely because of hearing this teaching and not understanding what it really should be. Sometimes, men will try to emulate what they see in Doug Phillips, and start requiring their families to have all the same rules as the Phillips. Unfortunately, if there are no personal convictions behind the rules, they soon become extremely oppressive and smother the family. Some men just have no clue about how to “lead” their families; they just know that it’s being constantly preached at them from the pulpit. Having come from a home without a godly leader, these men need lots of practical examples. (Taken from: Doug Phillips’ Kangaroo Court...

A discerning look at Ted Weiland's "Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective"

By Angela Wittman I believe I have found within the Scriptures the key to what made America great, and this key can restore her to her former greatness. - Ted Weiland, ( Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution; The Christian Perspective , http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/BlvcOnline/biblelaw-constitutionalism-preface.html) A couple of years ago Ted Weiland contacted me and asked if he might send me his primer on  Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective . After receiving and reviewing the primer, I decided to toss it in the trash due to the concern that Mr. Weiland was missing a foundational point - Biblical covenanting.  And after recently reviewing his work in greater detail, I believe the reformed and theonomic community should be cautious about Mr. Weiland's book and his beliefs. Due to some glaring "red flags" I encountered while researching Mr. Weiland, I've decided to write this warning and state my concerns. First of a...
