Respect Life Month - Funding Planned Parenthood

Did you know that over 8,000 babies are taken from their mother's womb every year in Jacksonville!  I bet the numbers are similar in your city.  It's astounding when you think about the fact that 8,000 women choose to abort their babies.  They could also choose to allow those babies to be adopted, or, they could choose to accept this child as the gift that he/she is.  And then, there is always the choice to just not engage in the act itself.

Statistics say that abortions occurring because of rape,  incest or a serious medical condition is around 7%.  That would mean that approximately 7,400 abortions take place every year because of convenience.  Those same statistics also show that at least half of those 8,000 women have had a previous abortion.

October is Respect Life Month.  There are all kinds of events happening at parishes all over this country.  Some will attend a Life Chain, some will participate in the 40 Days for Life and thousands of Rosaries will be prayed.  What are your plans? 

The newest issue of Christian Action News states, "For almost 38 years, abortion has been the law of the land, and God's people have failed to put a dent into this holocaust.  Why have pro-abortion politicians been afforded the opportunity of being elected, when polls repeatedly claim that the majority of Americans oppose abortion and do not want abortion to be funded with their tax dollars?  Why have we allowed our tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the U.N. and other blood thirsty pro-abortion groups?" 

When I think of these precious little ones, I am overwhelmed.  How can I make a difference?  Well, there is one way.  My shopping habits may be funding Planned Parenthood.  Perhaps we can consider where we allow our money to go.  Here is a partial list from Life Decisions (updated July 2010) at http://www.fightpp.org/ of the businesses that support Planned Parenthood.   If we can avoid funding these companies, perhaps they will get the message!  To date, 258 companies have stopped funding PP because of people like us who have made the decision to take our business elsewhere!

Planned Parenthood Boycott List

****UPDATE*****
My wonderful friend Barbara from Praying for Grace reminded me that this is only a PARTIAL list. If you become a member at Life-Decisions, you are entitled to a COMPLETE list....Barbara says at least 10 times the amount of businesses! I would also like to note that writing letters to the CEO's of these companies DOES work. Many have been removed because they discontinued contributing to PPH! Thank you Barbara!!!!!!



Take a good look at this partial Boycott List of contributors to Planned Parenthood. I must admit, when I first received this list (and it changes all the time), I was shocked at which companies used my money to contribute to Planned Parenthood. Admittedly, it is not always in our control to make a change to another company, but I think most people can do a reasonable job of changing what they can.
