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.

Premarital Sex the Norm in America?

Premarital Sex Research Shows by Age 44, 95% of Americans Have Had Ummarried Sex
Almost all Americans have sex before marrying, according to premarital sex research that shows such behavior is the norm in the U.S. and has been for the past 50 years.
The new study shows that by age 20, 75% of Americans have had premarital sex. That number rises to 95% by age 44. Even among those who abstained from sex until 20 or beyond, 81% have had premarital sex by 44, the survey shows. Researchers say the findings question the feasibility of federally funded abstinence-only education programs.
"Premarital sex is normal behavior for the vast majority of Americans, and has been for decades," says researcher Lawrence Finer, director of domestic research at the Guttmacher Institute, in a news release. "The data clearly show that the majority of older teens and adults have already had sex before marriage, which calls into question the federal government's funding of abstinence-only-until-marriage programs for 12–29-year-olds. It would be more effective to provide young people with the skills and information they need to be safe once they become sexually active -- which nearly everyone eventually will," says Finer.

Premarital Sex Research
In the study, published in Public Health Reports, researchers analyzed data from four cycles of the National Survey of Family Growth from 1982 to 2002, which included information on sexual and marital behaviors. The results showed that the vast majority of Americans have sex before marrying. For example, the 2002 survey showed:

  • By age 20, 77% of men and women had had sex, including 75% who had had premarital sex.
  • By age 44, 95% of men and women had had premarital sex; 97% of those who had ever had sex had had premarital sex.
  • Among those who had abstained from sex until at least age 20, 81% had had premarital sex by age 44.

Despite public opinion that premarital sex is much more common now than in the past, researchers say the number of Americans having premarital sex hasn't changed much since the 1940s. Among women who turned 15 between 1964 and 1993, 91% had had premarital sex before age 30, compared with 82% of women who turned 15 between 1954 and 1963. In addition, nearly nine out of 10 women who turned 15 between 1954 and 1963 had had unmarried sex by age 44.
Researchers say that though the likelihood that Americans will have sex before marriage hasn't changed significantly since the 1950s, people are now waiting longer to get married. So they are sexually active and unmarried for longer than in the past.

It's not Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, but it is interesting reading. Personally, I believe the data was either "massaged" to obtain the results the group wanted to obtain OR the findings/data are flawed. There are several studies out showing the abstinence education is not only working, but that only about half of America's young woman are engaging in premarital sex. Somehow, I doubt that 75% of Americans (the majority, women) are having sex before marriage. The TV, magazines and radio programs rabidly promote promiscuous sex, BUT people just aren't "doing it".
I believe a reputable group with refute the Guttmacher findings rather quickly. I'm anxious to see how this shakes out.
