Pro-Life What did we find? The Wisconsin Partnership Program gave a
$427,500 grant to Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin to implement a cancer
education program for Hispanic/Latina women. Click here to view the signed agreement.
Abortion and birth control have been linked as a cause of
breast cancer, a link Planned Parenthood continues to deny. Click here to read the results of a study confirming the
link. It is ironic the state’s number-one abortion
provider is trying to help women detect breast cancer, when abortion has been
identified as one of the causes. Planned Parenthood’s racist beginnings and current
practices are well-documented. We are outraged that, once again, monies of a
state entity are employed to fund Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood does
not help women, and it is very clear they are targeting a demographic that
values life and the unborn. Where is Planned Parenthood’s therapy program for
women who suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts after abortion? By
drawing women in under the guise of offering help, women will then be subtly
coached on the nuances of birth control and abortion, which Planned
Parenthood sells – for a price. Think
Planned Parenthood doesn’t have your money? Think again Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin
reported more than $20.16 million in income in 2008, according to their tax
forms. At least $12 million of this
money comes from federal and state tax funding. Planned Parenthood of Other findings from Planned
Parenthood’s tax forms? – $366,405 was
paid to Brookfield, Wis-based Hunzinger Construction; – $130,000 was
paid to the Medical College of Wisconsin, which also performs abortions; – Planned
Parenthood gave away $1.4 million in grants, including $620,214 to Planned
Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, which is Planned Parenthood’s lobbying
arm; $433,288 to Options in Reproductive Care, based in La Crosse; and
$212,849 to Community Action Inc., based in To view Planned Parenthood’s
2008 tax forms, click here. United States House Resolution (H.R.) 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,
allows states to opt out of abortion coverage in the Exchange. The Exchange
does not go into effect until 2014, but some states are moving now to opt out
of abortion coverage. From LifeSiteNews: Citing the shortage in organs
available for transplant, a state assemblyman in New York State Assemblyman
Richard Brodsky has introduced a new bill in If passed, Brodsky's bill would
become the first such law in the "We have 10,000 New
Yorkers on the list today waiting for organs. We import half the organs we
transplant. It is an unacceptable failed system," Brodsky said,
according to CBS News 2. Brodsky pointed to other nations who have passed
similar laws that now are in force "without a lot of controversy." Despite the altruistic goal of
such legislation, the current practice of organ harvesting has increasingly
alarmed the pro-life community, as evidence continues to surface that the
prerequisite "brain death" is often defined to ease the process of
collecting fresher organs, rather than according to whether a person has
actually died. The prestigious New
England Journal of Medicine confirmed these fears in a 2008
article that backed up the notion that "brain dead" patients
are often, in fact, still alive. Click here to read the NEJM article. There have been several recent
cases in which patients deemed "brain dead" resuscitated only
moments before their organs were to be removed. Such cases have brought
more evidence to the table showing that the highly contested definition of
"brain death," and the later idea of "cardiac death," do
not eliminate the possibility that donors may yet recover from seeming
lifelessness. Earlier this year, 21-year-old
Zack Dunlap was spared from dissection when a relative saw him react to touch
minutes before he was scheduled to have his organs removed. Zack was
originally deemed eligible to donate his organs when doctors could detect no
blood flow to his brain. He later said, however, that he could hear the
doctors pronouncing him dead as he lay seemingly unconscious. Click here to read more. Pro-Life National
