  • Let me disclaim…

    Most people that write about prolife and abortion issues have have no personal knowledge about what they are writing or saying, only the passion of trying to save unborn children – which I do commend them for. However, just know that I have personally been inside of an abortion clinic, saw the conditions, dealt with the staff and suffered the procedure. What I have to purport is not arbitrary or flippant; it is the stone cold truth.

  • Salvation Help

    Dear Lord Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner and have broken your laws. I understand that my sin has separated me from you. I am sorry and I ask you to forgive me. I accept the fact that your son Jesus Christ died for me, was resurrected, and is alive today and hears my prayers. I now open my heart’s door and invite Jesus in to become my Lord and my Saviour. I give Him control and ask that He would rule and reign in my heart so that His perfect will would be accomplished in my life.

    In Jesus name I pray.
    Amen.

Eyes wide shut in defense of usual government.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on February 17, 2011

Americans pay for Medicaid. Americans pay for Title X. Americans subsidize abortion and contraception services for illegal immigrants. Every one of us here in these United States of America pays for ANY woman or minor girl to obtain contraceptive and abortions ON DEMAND. There is NO LAW that protects us from giving our money over to programs we do not believe in and many that we are not aware of, but we pay for it just the same.

This is the common rhetoric that the usual suspects chant:

Guttmacher:  “Title X–supported family planning centers served 4.7 million women in 2008. The contraceptive services provided at these centers helped women and couples avoid 973,000 unintended pregnancies, which would have resulted in 433,000 unplanned births and 406,000 abortions. Without these services, unintended pregnancy and abortion in the United States would be one-third higher. And by helping women avoid unintended pregnancies, Title X–supported family planning centers saved taxpayers $3.4 billion in 2008—or $3.74 for every $1 spent on contraceptive care.”Guttmacher Institute.”

Population Institute (Robert Walker):  “In a world beset by a growing tide of hunger, severe poverty, and social unrest, does it really make sense to cut international family planning assistance…..in their budget cutting zeal, some House Republicans are reportedly gearing up to wipe out the $648 million a year currently being spent for international family planning assistance……doing so would deny family planning services to 26.5 million women in the developing world, and would result in 7.8 million more unintended pregnancies.”

Speaker of the New York City Council (Christine Quinn): Planned Parenthood of New York City is one of the most respected institutions in our city. It provides essential preventive and reproductive health care to more than 50,000 New Yorkers each year, including comprehensive gynecological exams, testing for sexually transmitted disease and treatment, birth control, breast and cervical cancer screenings and more.  It works with our city’s parents, teenagers and most vulnerable populations to make sure they are safe and healthy, and have access to the services they need. Many of those they serve would otherwise have nowhere else to go.

So many opinions, so much time on their hands.

The caste system in the world is hideous. The rich throw their wealth around trying to curb the population of the world ‘helping’ people in developing countries….instead what they are helping is people across the world to have sex without consequence because the American people, either through taxes or private donations, will pick up the tab for their abortions and contraception.

Much is exactly the same here in this country. It is the American people’s RIGHT to have sex without consequence or monetary responsibility, while WE THE PEOPLE are expected to pay for it while an unborn child has no rights at the opportunity to LIFE.

If Roe v. Wade began as a right to privacy, how is it that not all Americans can have that right?

An unborn child has a right to privacy, a right to LIFE and liberty.

The Bad and the Ugly

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on January 28, 2010

Evil never rests.

…the many Haitian women who find themselves cut off from their usual sources for family planning services and supplies, including condoms, must be provided with free contraceptives. A failure to address these needs heightens the risk for unwanted pregnancy and botched abortion, HIV and other STIs, and high-risk, life-threatening pregnancies and childbirth. –Guttmacher Institute-

Over 150,000 people died in Haiti since the earthquake and if pro-choicers have their way more will die due to abortion and abortifacients provided by anti-abortion groups like Reproductive Health Response in Conflict Consortium.

I wish this was the first we’ve heard of pro-choicers finding ‘fertile’ ground in third world countries after major catastrophes. But handing out condoms to people that have no water or food or shelter?? Condoms? Are they too good to help find survivors instead of making them?

Forget the battle, let’s win the WAR

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on January 22, 2010

Looking back at 2009, the year of living in fear of the unborn child, there have been some real strange happenings in this kind of fiasco and tragedy of the healthcare phenomenon. I’m still struck at how a lot of this was based on the ability to get government paid abortions. My mind still reels at the hatred those people have for a child not yet born. But all things considered, it was a better year for the unborn child.

Here’s a great blurb from Salon:

…Antiabortion forces, Joffe writes, also deploy the psychological weapon of antiabortion stigma, a potent contaminant of conscience and community that has led to, among other things, “a chronic shortage of [abortion] providers”…

The truth is that there are fewer abortions every year since 1990; the most abortions were performed in 1990. Guttmacher reports and obvious decline in abortions:

  • 1973    744,600
  • 1990   1,608,60o
  • 2005   1,206,200

The reason why abortions are down is not just because the number of abortion providers has dropped but because women have become smarter and are making better choices. Yes, providers are down, and we need to thank the many people that pray and march and protest in place of a child that has no voice…that’s why providers are closing their doors.

It’s no secret that the pro-life movement lost significant ground during the 2008 elections. However, the events of 2009 have clearly demonstrated the movement’s resiliency and heft. Indeed, it is safe to say that pro-lifers have been the most effective opponents of Obamacare. Their efforts on this issue alone show unmistakably that the right-to-life movement is an indispensable part of the center-right coalition.

True enough – people are tired of the threat of more murdered children for government-run healthcare and prolifers had their say in the recent election in Massachusetts. We are tired of democratic rhetoric displayed as progressive government.

Pro-lifers realize that abortion funding is a very effective wedge issue dividing moderate Democrats from Obama and his liberal base. Indeed, more than anything else, the conflict over abortion funding is responsible for the delay, and quite possibly the eventual defeat, of ObamaCare.

Ironically, the Democrats are the ones that cut off their own nose to spite their face. WE THE PEOPLE are not buying anything with abortion in it, near it or even around the block from it.

The annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. is coming this Friday….forget the battle – let’s win the WAR!!

No one can be this stupid?

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on April 1, 2009

The proud recipient of the Margaret Sanger award…Hillary Clinton.

hillppfa1

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has accepted an award from Planned Parenthood named after the pro-abortion group’s founder, who once referred to blacks as “human weeds.”  Ms. Sanger went on to say that ‘the best thing that families, big families can do is to kill it’s infants.’ She was an eugenicist, and an equal opportunity eugenicist…believing that all poor families need to stop having children and that the black population was getting too big.

There’s more about eugenics and it’s sources and causes with Planned Parenthood than most know - read on:

From the American Eugenics Society Scrapbook:   ‘When Francis Galton coined the term eugenics in 1883, it is doubtful that he could have foreseen the power the movement would accrue in America during the first half of the 20th century. A broad-based social, political, and scientific movement, American eugenics reflected the fears of many whites that their once-great nation was threatened by demographic and economic change. Their understanding of the principles of genetic inheritance led eugenicists to conclude that genetically defective members of society — including the “feeble-minded,” criminals, the sexually wanton, epileptics, the insane, and non-white races — were rapidly out-reproducing the “normal” members of society at an alarming rate, passing on their “deleterious” genes at the expense of the “normal.” The social cost of such a situation, they feared, would be devastating.’

Disturbing, eh? I’m not done yet…read on:

From OneLife.com:   ‘Envision every human as equal at birth; in beauty, health, mental health, social strength and intelligence. A designed evolutionary system with goals and planning would provide all of these for every human. Only then can a truly egalitarian society be obtained….A planned evolution for life.’

Not much different than a KKK meeting in the middle nowhere and you’re the only guest…read on:

And then from BlackGenocide.org  ‘Civil rights’ doesn’t mean anything without a right to life!” declared Rev. Johnny M. Hunter. He and the other marchers were protesting the disproportionately high number of abortions in the black community. The high number is no accident. Many Americans—black and white—are unaware of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger’s Negro Project. Sanger created this program in 1939, after the organization changed its name from the American Birth Control League (ABCL) to the Birth Control Federation of America (BCFA).’ It eventually became Planned Parenthood in 1942.

And CitzenReviewOnline:   ‘Margaret Sanger aligned herself with the eugenicists whose ideology prevailed in the early 20th century. Eugenicists strongly espoused racial supremacy and “purity,” particularly of the “Aryan” race. Eugenicists hoped to purify the bloodlines and improve the race by encouraging the “fit” to reproduce and the “unfit” to restrict their reproduction. They sought to contain the “inferior” races through segregation, sterilization, birth control and abortion.’

Knowing all of this, Obama is still preaching Planned Parenthood and abortion as righteous as are most Democrats.

Don’tcha just love irony?

The forgotten one left behind.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on March 14, 2009

postabortionsyndrome1Post traumatic stress disorder  is defined as an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to one or more traumatic events that threatened or caused grave physical harm; profound psychological and emotional trauma, apart from any actual physical harm – usually, but not always, to those that have been in the military.

This is Post-Abortion Stress:

Abortion hurts an entire lifetime. There is alcohol and drug abuse, sexual promiscuity. It even affects what should be normal maternal warmth. With repression and denial, the problem is avoided for years – five years is common, ten or twenty years is not unusual.

Mental disorders among women who had abortions were 17 percent higher than among women who did not have abortions. When researchers looked at specific disorders, the increased rate among women who had abortions ranged from 44 percent higher for panic attacks and 167 percent higher for bipolar disorder. 

 

Previous research has linked abortion to an increase in mental health problems such as suicide, depression, substance abuse, anxiety, sleep disorders, symptoms of post-traumatic stress and other problems. But now there are links between abortion and agoraphobia and panic disorders.

 

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Some women can’t trust men, stay married, keep a job, deal with being a mother (after the abortion), and stays away from friends and family. And more often than not, these women have no idea why they can’t cope.

 

Guttmacher has this to say about Post-Abortion Stress:

Most antiabortion activists oppose abortion for moral and religious reasons. In their effort to win broader public support and legitimacy, however, antiabortion leaders frequently assert that abortion is not only wrong, but that it harms women physically and psychologically. Such charges have been made repeatedly for years, but repetition and even acceptance by members of Congress and other high-ranking political officials do not make them true.

Likely because the science attesting to the physical safety of the abortion procedure is so clear, abortion foes have long focused on what they allege are its negative mental health consequences. For decades, they have charged that having an abortion causes mental instability and even may lead to suicide, and despite consistent repudiations from the major professional mental health associations, they remain undeterred. For example, the “postabortion traumatic stress syndrome” that they say is widespread is not recognized by either the American Psychological Association (APA) or the American Psychiatric Association.

Don’t believe the lie – abortion hurts for an entire lifetime. A child died. The mother allowed it to happen. But the good news is that she can be forgiven. Look to Jesus, He is the One that died for me and YOU. There are millions of hurting women right now suffering a loss that is hard for them to understand.

Abortion in prison?

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on March 10, 2009

PRISON-WOMEN-CHILDRENEach year, millions of women—some of whom are pregnant—enter U.S. jails and prisons.  For those faced with an unwanted pregnancy while incarcerated, access to abortion services varies widely, according to the Guttmacher Institute.”

“Incarcerated women wishing to terminate a pregnancy face numerous challenges; among them are facilities’ ad hoc responses to abortion requests, difficulties in making transportation or financial arrangements, and the requirement of obtaining a court order”

I’m still trying to figure out how a woman gets pregnant in prison.

“Incarcerated women retain their right to have an abortion”, the article says further. I thought the point of prison is to take rights away from someone that has apparently taken advantage of them in the first place.

Isn’t it true that a convicted felon cannot own a gun or vote, but while IN PRISON you can obtain an abortion? And a constitutional right to do so? How ABSURD is this?

I’m certainly no rocket scientist, but how can your constitional right to vote and bare arms be taken away but you can kill an innocent child?

Quest for Life

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on March 5, 2009

“Eliminating abstinence-only programs and moving toward a more comprehensive approach to sex education is both good policy and good politics. Comprehensive sex education is based on scientific considerations and in sync with what polls repeatedly show parents want for their children,”  according to Guttmacher. That’s like giving the car keys to a drunk.

Still, all of the sex-ed in the world is still not going to keep these girls from getting pregnant. Their lives are socially driven and they have little to no responsibility for anything. Most of these teens don’t know how to write a check, pay a bill or cook a meal. How in the world are these girls expected to remember to take a pill everyday?

The answer to premarital sex should be NO - not ‘Let me find my purse’.

Unplanned pregnancies will happen. Since we know that is true, think about the alternative to these young girls. Now there is a child on the way and two choices – abortion or birth. Now she regrets not saying NO.

The Obama regime will argue that since you are unemployed, pregnant, still in school and scared to death that abortion is the answer. Here’s why: you will now be a dreg on the system because of prenatal care, birth, medical needs for mother and child, and welfare benefits for an UNWANTED child – an accident – if you keep the baby.

There are no accidents, only surprises. Just ask my 27 year old son, Justin – I’m quite sure he’s okay with  my decision to give birth and not abort.

Funded by YOU.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on February 24, 2009

Half of all pregnancies are intended, conversely, the other half are unintended. Who becomes pregnant unintentionally and how does that affect you and I?

“By providing millions of young and low-income women access to voluntary contraceptive services, the national family planning program prevents 1.94 million unintended pregnancies, including almost 400,000 teen pregnancies, each year. These pregnancies would result in 860,000 unintended births, 810,000 abortions and 270,000 miscarriages, according to a new Guttmacher Institute report.”

Guttmacher is saying is that it’s better to just give away our tax dollars to sexually active single women for contraceptive services than to teach them to NOT HAVE SEX. And, that all of the unintended children that were conceived can be aborted with tax dollars to take the burden off the public to feed, clothe and give medical services to. Talk about a knight in shining armor…and we get to pay for it.

“More than nine million women received publicly funded contraceptive services in 2006. Another two million women received Medicaid-funded family planning care from private doctors. Six in 10 women who get care at a family planning center, including three out of four who are poor, consider the center to be their usual source of health care, according to the report.”

I’m still at odds with the whole thing – I wouldn’t give my teenage daughter contraceptives because that would give her the okay to have sex – then why would I pay to have other minors to have sex? Why would I pay for anyone to have premarital sex? Besides all of the obvious wrong in it, it’s also a SIN – plain and simple.

Teach and preach abstinence.

BHO is on a roll.

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on January 24, 2009

Please understand, funding HAS been in place for abortions overseas with private funding and some government funding that gets rerouted without our knowledge or consent. This becomes a blatant thumb-on-nose to the Bush administration from BHO to appease the Dems in their fight for Stepford-wife like society. So, lets start with the third world countries first!

From the National Right to Life:

‘This will be the first instance in which the actions of the new Obama administration will inevitably, inextricably, and inexorably increase the number of aborted babies. But virtually no “mainstream media” outlet will bother to point that out to the public. No, today’s executive order, we are told, is all about eliminating a “global gag rule.” ‘ read the entire article here–>

And then Guttmacher:

‘The Bush administration and other anti–family planning administrations had also denied U.S. support to UNFPA—which works to reduce the need for abortion by promoting voluntary family planning in more than 150 poor countries. The Reagan, Bush I and Bush II administrations all blocked any U.S. contribution to UNFPA on the grounds that it indirectly supported coercive abortions in China, despite U.S. government findings clearing UNFPA of any involvement in coercive practices.’ read the entire aricle here–>


This is just the beginning – next is the Freedom of Choice Act right here in the U.S. God will not be mocked – there is judgement coming.

Guttmacher strikes again!

Posted by Rev. K.H. Marple on January 14, 2009

You know, not even I can expound on the evil, horrific, disgusting, obscene, hideous filth that the Guttmacher Institute does for the Pro-Choice agenda. Anyone with a SOUL will see right through their pitiful agenda. They make my job incredibly easy. Read on!

FRESH FROM THE GUTTMACHER INSTITUTE:

January 22, 2009, marks the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. This anniversary comes two days after the inauguration of the first pro-choice president in eight years and at the beginning of a new administration and a new Congress whose leaders recognize that behind almost every abortion is an unintended pregnancy.

Perhaps unintended by the ‘parents’ but not by the hand of God. He does not make mistakes! Read on:

Although the rate of abortion in the United States has fallen to its lowest level since 1974, slightly more than one in five pregnancies end in abortion, and stark disparities persist in rates of unintended pregnancy and abortion; poor and low-income women are at particularly high risk. Compared with higher income women, poor women are four times as likely to have an unplanned pregnancy, three times as likely to have an abortion and five times as likely to have an unplanned birth. Consequently, the need for publicly funded family planning services is as critical as ever.

Poor and low-income women are targeted because of their lack of knowledge regarding birth control much less abortion.

Publicly funded family planning clinics provide contraceptive services to about seven million women each year. Without these services, unintended pregnancy rates would be nearly 50% higher for all women and about two-thirds higher among low-income women. According to recent Guttmacher research, 1.4 million unintended pregnancies, which would likely result in about 640,000 unintended births and 600,000 abortions, are averted each year because of these services. Research shows that these services save $4.3 billion in public funds. Nationally, every $1.00 invested in helping women avoid pregnancies they do not want saves $4.02 in Medicaid expenditures that otherwise would be needed—in addition to providing clear benefits to individual women and their families by helping them avoid unintended pregnancies and plan the pregnancies they do want.

Essentially, we as taxpayers are already paying for contraceptives, so why not abortion? The truth is that we already are in some instances. So, what Guttmacher wants you to believe is that the taxpayer would rather pay for an abortion instead of Welfare benefits and Medicaid for a child until he/she is 18 years old.

Guttmacher research has also found that each $20 million increment in new funding under the Title X family planning services program alone would help women avoid another 17,200 unintended pregnancies, including 7,000 that would end in abortion. Expanding eligibility for Medicaid-covered family planning services nationwide to the same income eligibility levels used for pregnant women would yield even greater results, further reducing unintended pregnancy and abortion by 15%, while achieving an additional $1.5 billion in net savings annually.

“Medicaid covered family planning services” = government paid abortions for anyone that cannot afford to pay for one.

While in the Senate, President-elect Obama cosponsored numerous bills, such as the Prevention First Act, aimed at expanding access to contraceptives, health information and preventive services to help women avoid unwanted pregnancies. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV), himself antiabortion, reintroduced the Prevention First Act in early January, and companion legislation in the House was reintroduced soon thereafter.

Incredibly, people believe this rhetoric. Pro-choice is simply an agenda to rid the lower classes of preborn children one at a time. Quite an elaborate caste system, eh?

I urge you to pray for every abortionist everywhere. Pray that they will be so convicted for their actions and see it for what it is – MURDER.
