Why will PP spend $10 million on this election?

Recently, a Wall Street Journal story reported that Planned Parenthood is going to spend an unprecedented $10 million this election cycle to make sure they will have strong allies at all levels of government and in the courts.

Why is Planned Parenthood spending millions this cycle as opposed to past cycles?

They are being criminally investigated in Kansas on 107 criminal counts including falsifying documents in order to perform illegal late term abortions.

They are fighting a lawsuit in California by a whistleblower which alleges they defrauded taxpayers to the tune of over $180 million.

They were caught in Idaho willingly and enthusiastically accepting donations from a perceived racist donor who advocated for more black abortions.

In Ohio, they are being sued for not reporting the rape of a 15-year-old by her father.

Jenn Giroux, President of Women Influencing the Nation:

“The reason Planned Parenthood is spending an unprecedented $10 million this election cycle is to elect pro-choice candidates who will overlook criminal, racist and unethical business practices that continue to occur at their clinics across the country.

Planned Parenthood receives over $300 million a year in tax dollars, totaling $3.9 billion since 1987 in taxpayer financed abortion. They are ‘investing’ $10 million this election cycle to protect their billions in taxpayer subsidies in order to continue performing abortions, including late term abortions, which are illegal in many states.”

The Drudge Report yesterday uncovered a disturbing story about how Planned Parenthood graciously and excitedly accepted a donation meant for aborting black babies. The phone conversation was recorded and can now be viewed on YouTube.

“It is fascinating to see Congress investigating just about every industry and government contractors’ business practices in an effort to be transparent and open. Yet, Planned Parenthood, a flagship of the multi-billion dollar abortion industry and a government contractor, receiving $300 million a year, whose business practices include criminal and racist elements, gets a pass.

“It is evident Planned Parenthood has no regard for the law. In fact, their actions suggest they are above the law and any type of government reproach. They need to be held accountable at the very least to the federal and state governments that fund a third of their annual budget. Congress and state governments should freeze all taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. Tax payers should not be funding an organization under serious criminal investigation for falsifying documents to perform illegal activity, aids and abets child rape, commits fraud against citizens, and enthusiastically advocates an increase in black abortions,” Giroux concluded.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

Saint Gerard of Brogne: Patron of Abbots

Image
St. Gerard was born to a noble family in Staves, Belgium, in 895. He descended from a royal line of military men and at first felt a share in this call to arms. He trained for the army and, as a page of the count of Namur, he was sent on a special mission to the French court. There, Gerard realized that he was being called to the monastic life. He stayed in France and joined the Benedictines of St. Denis, abandoning his noble birthright and all his worldly possessions. He spent eleven years in France as a monk before becoming a priest. Following his ordination, he left for Belgium in order to found a new abbey on his own estate of Brogne. He was its abbot for twenty-two years and during that period was instrumental in introducing St. Benedict's Rule into numerous houses in Flanders, Lorraine and Champagne.He became known for his engaging sweetness of temper, his strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict and for the replacement of lukewarm religious practice with true piety.
