Reasons to avoid Planned Parenthood

Reason # 1 — Planned Parenthood = Abortion
Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas reported performing 7,915 abortions in 2008. On a national level, Planned Parenthood Federation of America reported performing 305,310 abortions in 2007.

Reason # 2 — Planned Parenthood Hurts Women
Houston's 9-1-1 records show at least two recent cases of women physically injured by botched abortion procedures at the Houston Planned Parenthood affiliate. Don't assume this won't happen to you or someone you love.

Reason # 3 — Planned Parenthood Experiments on Women
As of June 2008, a study conducted at the University of Michigan and published in The Journal of Immunology has indicated that "off-label use" of the controversial abortion drugs collectively called RU-48, may be linked to the death of at least eight women.

The FDA issued new warnings about the use of the pill, and rather than stopping its use of the pill altogether, Planned Parenthood has stated that it will merely stop its unapproved vaginal use of it.

In addition to altering the suggested dosage, Planned Parenthood urges women to take one of the drugs at home, disregarding the FDA's warning that the second portion of the pill regime "should be done in a medical office to monitor women for complications."

Reason # 4 — The aborted fetuses are used for stem cell research
Stem cell research is used as one reason abortion should remain legal. That is barbarism. Innocent members of society should not be destroyed to provide raw material for research on how to extend the lives of other members of society.

Reason # 5 — Planned Parenthood Condoms Received "Dead Last" Ranking
According to Consumer Reports condoms typically have a 16% failure rate. Planned Parenthood's condoms were ranked dead last in a recent review, with "poor" ratings in both strength and reliability... using them is asking for trouble.

Reason # 6 — They continue to misrepresent their morning after abortion pill to women calling it "Emergency Contraception," while failing to inform many clients that the use of this drug could produce an actual early chemical ABORTION.

Reason # 7 — The 14-year-old in this video is told by a Planned Parenthood employee to lie to a judge about her "boyfriend's" age. Her parents nor the police would ever find out about this situation as long as Planned Parenthood cashes in: View Video.

Reason # 8 — They celebrate their racist roots
Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood wrote, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," when describing her plans for The Negro Project. She also spoke for a woman's gathering of the Ku Klux Klan. Planned Parenthood gives an annual award in Margaret Sanger's honor.

To heaven without holiness?

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14)

There is no (idea) so pernicious as this—that persons not purified, not sanctified, not made holy in their life, should afterwards be taken into that state of blessedness which consists in the enjoyment of God. Neither can such persons enjoy God, nor would God be a reward to them. Holiness indeed is perfected in heaven: but the beginning of it is invariably confined to this world.*

How shall we ever be at home and happy in heaven, if we die unholy? Death works no change. The grave makes no alteration. Each will rise again with the same character in which he breathed his last. Where will our place be if we are strangers to holiness now?

Suppose for a moment that you were allowed to enter heaven without holiness. What would you do? What possible enjoyment could you feel there? To which of all the saints would you join yourself? Their pleasures are not your pleasures, their tastes not your tastes, their character not your character. How could you possibly be happy, if you ahd not been holy on earth?

Now perhaps you love the company of the light and the careless, the worldly-minded and the covetous, the reveler and the pleasure-seeker. There will be none such in heaven.

Think you that such an one would delight to meet David, and Paul, and John, after a life spent in doing the very things they spoke against?

People may say, in a vague way, "they hope to to to heaven;" but they do not consider what they say... Heaven is essentially a holy place; its inhabitants are all holy; its occupations are all holy. It is clear and plain that we must be somewhat trained and made ready for heaven while we are on earth.**
