The Truth Behind Planned Parenthood

admin — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 10:48:28 +0000

We have received booklets from Human Life Alliance that gives a 15-page expose’ of PP that we plan to distribute around the neighborhood of PP here in Omaha. Some of the highlights:
Planned Parenthood does not like to talk about its abortion business, but it runs the nation’s largest abortion chain and commits over 300,000 abortions a year.
PP does not like to talk about its abortion business, but it runs the nation’s largest abortion chain and commits over 300,000 abortions a year.
Documented violations include shoddy record-keeping, unclean conditions, out-of-date medications, untrained workers, lack of emergency plans and equipment, and uninspected equipment.
PP is financially backed by the US government, receiving 46% of its annual budget, more than $487 million in tax-payer dollars a year.
In recent years, a number of PP’s own employees have filed whistleblower lawsuits claiming PP has defrauded the state and federal governments.

Rape, Incest and Life of the Mother Exceptions

admin — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 10:47:49 +0000

Many politicians think they are “pro-life” as long as they are against abortion – except for rape, incest and life of the mother.
Nebraskans United for Life does NOT endorse these politicians because we know that when a woman is violated because of rape or incest, she can survive because it was something done TO her. However, when she has guilt about killing her own child she quite often suffers for the rest of her life.
The “Life/Health of the Mother” exception is not acceptable because with modern medicine, all efforts should be made to save both. The “double effect” standard is what Nebraskans United for Life (and the Catholic Church) use.

40 Days for Life

admin — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 10:42:46 +0000

Since the 40 Days for Life campaign started a few years ago, they have counted 7,000 babies saved because of the prayer support outside of abortion clinics!
In the Omaha area many churches have participated in this prayerful, effective witness to mothers contemplating the abortion of her child.
Although this happens during Lent and again in the fall, a prayerful witness is ALWAYS needed throughout the year. Please think about donating an hour a week – for the LIFE of a child.

Mother’s Day AD will again be in the OWH

admin — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 10:42:03 +0000

We have used billboards to get our message of the importance of life to Nebraskans the last few years.
Before that we listed all the names in a full-page ad in the Omaha World Herald and we will do it again this year. The Sunday OWH goes across Nebraska and it is a way that we show pro-life strength.
It is a wonderful opportunity for you to honor your own mother publicly. Please let us know if it is to be in the “Memorial” section for deceased moms. Each donor can use up to 27 typed spaces. Please use the form with this newsletter.

Will YOUR NAME be included?

Former Abortion Worker: My Hands Were an Accessory to Murder
by Jewels Green | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 6/22/12 3:15 PM

As a pre-abortion counselor, I occasionally had a pregnant mother ask me to come visit her in the recovery room once it was all over. Naturally, whoever accompanied her to the abortion clinic that day was not permitted in any of the medical areas, so requests like this were not uncommon.

Some of the weepier women (who were scheduled to be awake with local anesthetic for their abortions) would ask if I could join them in the procedure room to hold their hands during their abortions. I would attempt to deflect this question by reminding them that a nurse would be there to hold their hands, but a few would persist in asking if I could be there to hold their hands. More than a few times, I agreed.

Both procedure rooms at the abortion clinic where I worked for more than five years when I was much younger, and much less wise, were small – and having an extra person in the room besides the pregnant mother, the nurse, and the doctor was difficult and cumbersome. Not every doctor permitted even a pre-abortion counselor into the procedure room during an abortion, but most did because if I was there to hold the woman’s hand, she would remain calmer and quieter, and was more likely to hold still for the abortion – and it would free up the nurse’s hand to more efficiently assist the doctor.

Holding hands was rare in my role as pre-abortion counselor, but it was always raw and unnerving. Most times it was the hand of a sad stranger that I held. Once it was the hand of a friend. Once it was the hand of an enemy. Most were young, some had wedding bands, all were scared, all were sad.

If the doctor allowed me to hold the pregnant mother’s hand during her abortion, I would be called into the procedure room after she was already prepped and draped. The nurse would open the door for me, and I would go straight to the head of the table, being sure to stay out of the way, and hold her hand and look into her eyes and murmur, “Everything is going to be alright.”

One young woman, who was about 9 to 10 weeks pregnant and nineteen years old (the same age my grandmother was when she had my mother, the same age I was as I held her hand, the same age my baby was when I had my abortion) squeezed my hand so hard it nearly brought tears to my eyes. And this was before the abortion began. “Everything is going to be alright.” She met my gaze and nodded, then squeezed her eyes shut and begin to quietly sob as the doctor put the speculum in place. The doctor was not oblivious to her, and he took a moment to get up from the stool to ask, “There is still time to change your mind, are you sure this is what you want to do?” She silently nodded again, squeaked out a small “yes” and the doctor sat back down and went to work.

You’re going to feel a pinch as I inject the local anesthetic into your cervix.

You’re going to feel some cramping as I use the dilating rods to open your cervix.

You’re going to feel some tugging, and a pulling sensation as I turn on the suction machine.

It’s almost over.

The sound of the machine was always the worst. For her and for me. The sound of suctioning water is abruptly changed when the cannula (the hard plastic hollow tube inserted into the uterus) hits something harder than water. There is a sudden stopping; a rapid decrease in pitch and timbre of the sucking sound. And it is heartbreaking.

It’s over now. Just lie still for a few minutes before you try to get up.

She has kept her eyes clamped shut the entire time. All five minutes of her abortion. Now she looks up at me again, but she is changed. Her eyes no longer pleading, she has aged, and now all I see behind her eyes is resignation.

With a pump of her hand and a forced grimace and a nod, I excuse myself from the procedure room so the nurse can clean up her patient and escort her to the recovery room. I walk down the hall, back through the locked steel security door that separates the medical area from the rest of the abortion clinic, and stop at the staff bathroom.

I am not surprised that I do not cry…

Yet.

2013 March for Life in D.C.

admin — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 19:46:17 +0000

The 40th March for Life will be on January 25, 2013.

The Washington D. C. Trip still has some availability. Please tell people. Leave Jan 25, 6am, Republic Air, non-stop and arrive 9:57am, in time to drop off luggage and join the March.
Sat. & Sun sightseeing and opportunities to attend pro-life conferences. Monday see fed. reps and more time to enjoy your nations capitol and fly back, 9pm arriving after 11pm, on Monday.

Late in October 1973, grassroots prolife leaders became concerned that January 22, 1974, might come and go without properly memorializing the Supreme Court’s infamous abortion decisions and without petitioning Congress for redress.

No established right-to-life organization was prepared to undertake the planning, financial and operational responsibilities for a high impact prolife March on the U.S. Capitol. But, grassroots prolifers wanted to march! About thirty prolife veterans resolved themselves into a committee and began making plans for the first March for Life.

On January 22, 1974, the first March for Life was held on the West Steps of the Capitol. An estimated 20,000 committed prolife Americans rallied that day on behalf of our preborn brothers and sisters.

In 1974, the March for Life was incorporated as a non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian organization.

Our numbers have gradually risen through the years despite reduced numbers from the snow in 2000 and the terrible 9/11 attacks just months before the March 2002. These growing numbers give testimony to the increasing ranks of prolife Americans and to the importance of the March’s work.
