LEARN Demands Full Investigation of Michigan Planned Parenthood Abortions

From staff @ christiansunite.com
Pastor Clenard H. Childress Jr, Northeast Regional Director of LEARN (Life Education And Resource Network - BlackGenocide.org) appearing at Planned Parenthood of South East Michigan and joined by members of Operation Red Sea, local pastors and Michigan State director of American Family Association issued the following statement:

We are standing here today because there have been strong indications of the possibility of crimes of the worst sort being committed at this facility.
We are standing here today demanding a proper and thorough investigation of under aged girls who have been denied protection and whose bodies have been violated for others selfish gain.
When girls under the age of 12 are brought into a Planned Parenthood and has her child aborted, that is a crime under the states current law. If there has been a cover up of these egregious acts, the citizens, and especially the authorities of Kalamazoo, need to act responsively and with all diligence.
Planned Parenthood has had numerous investigations and lawsuits filed against them in other cities regarding performing abortions illegally. Life Dynamics taped over 800 conversations with Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation clinics all across America. Those tapes prove that Planned Parenthood and NAF fail to comply with the law. They ignore the law even in cases of child sex abuse where child rape is disclosed and acknowledged - not just suspected. These tapes have already been used in court by one state to defend the parental involvement law against a Planned Parenthood lawsuit. Yet even more repulsive is the gross injustice done to these young girls.
Don Imus was fired for calling the Rutgers' Girls Basketball team "hoes". I then must ask the question, what should be done to Planned Parenthood's who treats young girls from our community like one [a prostitute]? They [Planned Parenthood] profited from those young girls sexual abuse and pain and sought no remedy for the girls' dire situation. They received their money and sent them back to the abuse and the abuser - like a piece of property a "thing' with no concern for their safety or well being. Ironically Planned Parenthood would perform the same service again, if called on, without remorse. Are they working in cooperation with sexual predators? These calloused acts only can be perceived as willingly endangering the well fare of minors and protecting sexual predators from justice.
We are calling upon all elected and appointed officials to uphold the law and hold Planned Parenthood and all parties accountable. We are asking that all information be forwarded to the [Michigan] attorney generals office and all parties in question would comply with the investigation. The citizens of this city depend on our police and their motto to "serve and protect". I ask the clergy, the shepherd's of this community, to hold its sitting officials responsible and bring this to a just conclusion.

EDITORIAL: When are people going to realize that Planned Parenthood (PPFA) is not about rights, but about monetary gain? They perform abortions, in almost ANY instance, because it makes money for them. They could care less about the well fare of the girls/women involved. Planned Parenthood could care less about the legality in many situations. Planned Parenthood is a money making machine, started by an atheist Communist (I know, that's redundant) and run by people who do not and will never value ANY life -- be it born or unborn.

FCC Suggests Framework for Regulating Violence on TV

Article from the AP / FOX News

Congress could regulate violence on cable, satellite and broadcast television without violating the First Amendment, the Federal Communications Commission said in a report released Wednesday. The report, which had been requested by Congress, contains suggestions for action by lawmakers, but it stops short of making specific recommendations.
A correlation exists between bloodshed on television and violence in real life, the commission said. Concluding that "exposure to violent programming can be harmful to children," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin wrote in a statement accompanying the report that "Congress could provide parents more tools to limit their children's exposure to violent programming in a constitutional way." Among those tools, Congress could require cable companies to sell their programming on a per-channel or family tier basis, rather than only in pre-bundled packages. As for broadcast television, the report cites Supreme Court precedent to suggest the agency could regulate violent programming much as it regulates sexual content and profanity — by barring it from being aired during hours when children may be watching. Or it could create a family-viewing hour. It also says that technology intended to help parents shield their children from objectionable programming, such as the V-chip, is inadequate.
The report indicates that Congress could develop a definition of excessively violent programming but that such language "needs to be narrowly tailored in conformance with judicial precedent." Martin has been joined in his push for cleaning up the airwaves by Democratic Commissioner Michael Copps, who wrote: "It is not an easy challenge to develop rules that pass constitutional muster, but given what amounts to a public health crisis at hand, I believe it is a challenge that must be met."
Word of the report, which has been circulating around the agency for months, has alarmed executives in the broadcast and cable industries as well as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Their concern is how the agency would define violent programming and what would qualify for sanction — for example, how violent news programming would be treated. Martin suggested Wednesday there may be a special exception for news, saying the context and content of the message should be considered.
The ACLU had harsh words for the report, calling the FCC's recommendations "political pandering," in a statement attributed to Caroline Fredrickson, the organization's director of its legislative office in Washington. "There are some things the government does well, but deciding what is aired and when on television is not one of them," she said.
Democratic Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, while approving the report in part and concurring in part, said he was disappointed with it because of a lack of clarity. "We punted to Congress the difficult questions that Congress asked us to answer," he said, such as coming up with a definition for excessively violent programming.
The report was requested by a bipartisan group of 39 House members nearly three years ago and is well past its Jan. 1, 2005, due date. The lawmakers asked whether the FCC could define "exceedingly violent programming that is harmful to children." It also asked whether the agency could regulate such programming "in a constitutional manner." Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said he will file legislation that may incorporate some of the commission's recommendations.

R.I.P. to Rap - It's Time for New Ideas in Music

There is more evidence that the degrading and violent rhetoric of hip-hop (aka rap) is dying a quiet death. An on-going (unscientific) poll taken by GasBuddy.com shows that only 3% (~225) of the nearly 7,500 respondents listen to hip-hop while driving in their cars. The music category with the highest percentage (33%) was rock and/or pop music. News, sports, talk came in second, with 26% of the vote.
These are interesting statistics, especially in light of recent articles showing that hip-hop is on the decline. Personally, I'm glad to see it (or should that be hear it). The violence, filthy language and overt sexual lyrics/videos of hip-hop have made it a bane to the ears of parents for years.
Listen, I love music. It has been a major source of entertainment, comfort and even inspiration throughout my entire life. I like many kinds of music. However, I cannot stand to hear most of the rap music produced. I find celebrations of violence, vulgar language and degradation of women into "bee-aaches" and "ho's" to be used for sex (willingly or otherwise) to be extremely offensive. There's simply no need for these messages in music -- any more than there was for the messages in "death metal" of the 1990s.
R.I.P. to rap. May it rest in peace and its potty-mouthed purveyors... may they learn to respect themselves and others.
