MISCONCEPTIONS

Because of the way the liberal media portrays the news, our culture is filled with misconceptions.  Here are a few that may surprise you.

Stem Cells: There are two kinds of stem cells - adult including umbilical cord cells versus embryonic - which come from the little humans formed in test tubes. The reader must always ask which kind is the writer referring to.  Both the U.S. and Japan recently had a breakthrough demonstrating that it is possible to get stem cells from a born person that have the same characteristics as the embryonic stem cells but donšt require the taking of the life of an embryo.  Another misconception regarding embryonic stem cells is that there are cures available or nearly available from these stem cells. Cures have come only from adult stem cells.  Yet the most money is spent on embryonic stem cell research because Prop. 71 was put in Californiašs constitution.  If the state goes bankrupt, this useless research will still go on.
   
Global Warming - The Hoax:  The majority of climate scientists stated that global warming/global cooling or whatever is due to cyclical sunspot activity.  But one must ask "Why all the hype?" If world leaders can make people worldwide believe that they are responsible for the weather, they will be able to put laws into effect that cause everyone to be punished and ultimately under their control. It will be an economic disaster. The middle class will be history. It is a world control agenda! Starting in grade school children are taught that people are going to harm polar bears. People are bad. How does this effect pro-life?  It enables the population control gang to become stronger and possibly make laws to control how many children a couple has, how long someone should live, and who should raise a child.
 
Why another Parental Notification Initiative?  Repeating an initiative helps educate the public. The more people who understand that minors can be taken for an abortion without their parents knowledge, the more educated voters there will be.  Is it worth all the time and cost?  Definitely!  In states where such an initiative has passed, abortions of minors goes down and especially telling is the fact that the number of minors with STDs also goes down.  Maybe teenagers can learn to practice abstinence.

Homeschooling: How can parents avoid much of the propaganda and immorality taught in most public schools?  Private and homeschools are the answer and in some cases vouchers or school choice. But the liberals fight these choices every chance they get.  Why? Control of future generations.  Even universities often only present "politically correct" teaching.  The new film "Expelled" exposes this hypocrisy. Good source:"Yes, itšs OK to homeschool in California"  at www.savecalifornia.com

Feminism: Were the early feminists pro-abortion? No! In fact Susan B, Anthony was pro-life and there is now an organization by that name that promotes pro-life candidates.  www.sba-list.org

Social Security, Medicare and Illegals: Many are very concerned over the influx of illegals but are they as concerned over the fact that we have killed over 50,000,000 of our own people through abortion and now need more workers?

March of Dimes:  Before signing up to walk for the March of Dimes, check out their policy concerning handicapped unborn babies.  In the past they had a paper on how to abort the handicapped unborn.

Abortion Facts: 
1. Abortion is legal only for the first three months. FACT: Abortion is legal for virtually any reason throughout a pregnancy.
2. The majority of American women believe abortion should be legal for any reason. FACT: Only 30% do.
3. FACT: The human heart begins to beat at 22 days. Roe  v. Wade says a doctor can stop it for the next 244. www.secondlook.org

Abortion and Racism:  "I believe (along with millions of others) that Dr. King's focus would be on the fact that 1,452 African-American children are killed each day by the heinous act of abortion. That 3 out of 5 pregnant African-American women will abort their child.  Also that although black women constitute only 6% of the population, they comprise 36% of the abortion industry's clientele. That 94% of abortuaries are strategically placed in urban neighborhoods with high black  populations. Over 13 million black children have been victims of this sickening human slaughter since abortion was legalized!  Black men & women have spent over $4,000,000,000 (yes, billion) dollars murdering their own people."

Planned Parenthood: Recent phone calls to Planned Parenthood facilities exposed their racist root. Margaret Sanger, their founder, would  have been proud as P.P. officials in several states agreed to accept donations to be used only to kill black babies. Also several facilities again covered up statutory rape of minors by adult males.  And yet: For the first time in history, Planned Parenthood has surpassed the $1 billion mark in annual income, a  milestone made possible by $336 million of your tax dollars.

Despite the rash of bad publicity, Planned Parenthood received a $31.4 million pay raise in taxpayer funds--a 10.8 percent increase in the "nonprofit's" government revenue. Adding to the windfall, Planned Parenthood's clinics worked overtime for an extra 24,707 abortions in 2006, six times the number of casualties from the entire Iraq war. All together, its abortion mills put 289,650 unborn babies to death in the year 2006 alone. This is an increase of more than 20,000 aborted babies from the year before.

Planned Parenthood also makes a tidy sum sowing its wild oats in the next generation of abortion customers. The group sold more than 1,400,000 "emergency" contraception kits, in many instances making transactions without as much as a medical exam. Taken from www.frc.org

Racing For the Cure?  Donšt Be Fooled

Are you or your friends entering a Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Race For the Cure? Rest assured that little if any of your contribution will go toward research on the link between abortion and breast cancer, but some of your money may go to abortion provider Planned Parenthood, as it does in California and at least nine other states. Surprised? Read on.

The Komen mission statement is "To eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening, and treatment." If this is so, why does their website not only fail to acknowledge abortion as a major risk factor, but have the audacity to state there is NO connection? There are 28 worldwide studies spanning 45 years that show abortion is a BIG factor. You can read about it at www.AbortionBreastCancer.com

Something is very inconsistent between what the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation says and does. Visit their website at www.Komen.org and see for yourself. Grants go to study almost any aspect of breast cancer except abortion. It has been as granular as a study for breast cancer among lesbian women then yet another subset study on black lesbian women, but nothing for the most avoidable risk factor - abortion.

Obviously, not every woman who has breast cancer has had an abortion, just as not every automobile accident involves a drunk driver. However, just as driving drunk will dramatically increase the risk of an accident, abortion increases the risk of breast cancer. Today in America, one woman in eight will get breast cancer. For women who abort their second or subsequent pregnancy, this increases to one in six. For those who abort their first pregnancy, the chance of getting breast cancer is one in five. If a woman comes from a family with a history of breast cancer, has used contraceptives, and then aborts her first pregnancy, she is virtually assured of getting breast cancer. And one in four women who get breast cancer dies from it.

The Orange County Komen website states that over $2.5 million was raised in their 2006 race for the cure. Of that, 25% was dedicated to research and 75% to education, screening, diagnosis and treatment. Have you ever seen any Komen Foundation educational material acknowledge the abortion/breast cancer connection? Such information would be very important to women who are considering an abortion. The number choosing to abort is staggering, accounting for 1.3 million abortions each year, which cause at least an additional 44,000 cases of breast cancer and 11,000 deaths. An ounce of educational prevention is worth a ton of screening, diagnosis and treatment.
And why would the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, which has raised almost $1 billion since 1982, be giving money to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America? In 2007 the Orange County, California Komen Affiliate gave a grant to Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties for a "Breast Health Program". The stated goal of the project is "to encourage breast cancer risk-reduction and early detection behavior among young women in Orange County." The irony is appalling.
If the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is sincere in its mission statement, they should be forthright, open, and pro-active in exposing the abortion/ breast cancer connection. Until you see them do that, save your time and money, otherwise you are just supporting a big business with a pro-abortion agenda.
