Additional anti-life organisations unmasked courtesey of Rock For Life website
MTV
Recently, Rock for Life made an unexpected appearance at an MTV Campus Invasion hosted by Radford University in Virginia. MTV, with a rather en vogue entourage, is traveling to different campuses all over the country promoting safe sex, abortion, and birth control—everything a student needs to make his or her four years in college an unhealthy success. The Campus Invasion is sponsored by various clothing, music and entertainment companies (Old Navy, H).
RFL made sure that a positive alternative (the truth) was provided. Accompanying the Campus Invasion are the bands Third Eye Blind and Eve 6. 3EB's frontman, singer Stephan Jenkins, summed up exactly what this tour was all about (sexual irresponsibility) when he passed out 500 condoms to the Siena College audience in N.Y. after school officials had prohibited their distribution at the Sexual Health tent. At Radford University, RFL presented an exhibit booth near the Campus Invasion "village" with information covering abstinence and the travesty of chemical and surgical abortion. RFL wanted to let these college students know that abortion and promiscuity should not be considered "sexual health." The Campus Invasion is just another example of the sick, twisted morals that MTV pushes on young people!

Rock for Choice (R4C)
Started by the all-female rock band L7, Rock for Choice was founded to support safe (no such thing) and legal abortion. The group organizes and sponsors concerts across the country featuring the pro-death music of artists such as Pearl Jam, the Foo Fighters, Soul Asylum, Nirvana and Hole (just to name a few), raises funds for Planned Parenthood and promotes the murder of children in the womb. In keeping with the culture of death's campaign to destroy morality and promote mindlessness among the youth of this country, Rock for Choice decided that "the young people needed to be aware of the situation (the dwindling right to choose) and given a course of action." There they go again, forcing their immoral, murderous beliefs down our throats. Notice, they want to "give" us a course of action (support murder) and tell us what to believe. Any way, you may also find it interesting that R4C falls under the Feminist Majority, the liberal, pro-death organization that oversees and supports it. They call us (pro-lifers) "fanatics" and "freaks" which, of course, is supposed to make them all the more appealing and, in this age of automation, they have their own webpage (check out the lies). The fundamental flaw in this whole message is that R4C and the dark side rant and rave about being "pro-choice," but are they really? The only option or choice they offer and accept is the right to commit murder, to kill the child in the womb. If they're so "pro-choice" why don't they give any of the money they raise to adoption services or homes for unwed mothers? Why don't they support groups that provide alternatives to abortion if they really care and really want "choice?" When will they understand that there is only one, true choice—life!

Voters for Choice"My one vote won't make a difference." How many times have you heard that line? As U.S. citizens, our greatest responsibility involves determining the future of our country. Whether you can vote now or will be able to in the near future, it is important to remember that electing representatives who mirror our Christian beliefs, is not just a Constitutional right — it is an obligation. If you believe that one vote doesn't make a difference, here's some info on what the other side is doing to make sure that their pro-death candidates are elected.
The Voters for Choice (VFC) organization supports candidates who believe in a woman's right to have an abortion. Founded in 1979 by Gloria Steinem and Planned Parenthood (alarms should be going off in your head right about now), Voters for Choice sponsors pro-abortion benefit concerts, trains candidates to uphold, defend and legislate pro-abortion laws, assists with voter identification services, and provides endorsements and financial assistance for pro-abortion candidates.
VFC concerts and events feature such artists as Pearl Jam, Joan Osborne, Ani DiFranco, the Indigo Girls and Phish, and provide an opportunity for some of death's greatest supporters to stand up and voice their feelings on abortion, sexual freedom and political correctness. The Indigo Girls summed up the group's thinking at a concert in 1993. "We are talking about an issue of women's rights. A woman's right to make choices concerning her own body should be protected, not prevented by law." Translation: Keep abortion legal. Ignore the rights of the child in the womb. Let the killing continue.
If the artists, politicians and supporters of VFC took a step back and looked at the whole picture, maybe they'd catch on to the fact that this organization isn't about protecting constitutional rights. It isn't about making their sad, tortured voices heard. It's about promoting Planned Parenthood's industry. It's about ensuring that the blood money continues to flow. It's about killing babies. And it's all based on the premise that one vote does matter.

Planned Parenthood
THEY WANT YOUR MONEY AND YOUR MIND!!! Planned Parenthood. Hmmm. Isn't that the group that helps keep teens healthy in their sexual relationships? Aren't they the ones that teach teens to respect their own sexuality and the sexuality of others? Don't they educate and inform young people of all the dangers of sexual promiscuity? That's an organization that does a lot of good, isn't it??
NOT QUITE!! Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortion and birth control to young people in this country.
See, whether you know a little or a lot about Planned Parenthood, most likely you've been fooled into thinking that they do good work. That's what has made Planned Parenthood so powerful. For over 60 years, Planned Parenthood has worked to convince young people and adults that contraception is something as simple and as healthy as brushing our teeth, and abortion is a procedure as normal as a physical checkup. Hundreds of thousands of people really believe that Planned Parenthood has the answers to teen pregnancy and disease.
These lies have made a mighty healthy profit for Planned Parenthood. They cashed in over $50 million on the sale of abortion and birth control to teenagers just last year.
But don't expect them to tell you about the damage they've done - the millions of children who have been killed by surgical abortion and the millions more who have been murdered through chemical abortions caused by birth control (the pill, Norplant, Depo-provera, etc.), the hundreds of thousands of people who suffer from sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) and AIDS because they bought the phony "safe sex" message that Planned Parenthood promotes, and the millions of women who now suffer from the fact that they had a part in killing their own children. I could go on and on. Planned Parenthood's sick agenda has done more damage than we can possibly imagine!!
Isn't it about time you saw Planned Parenthood as they really are?
How Did This All Start?
Planned Parenthood 's founder was a woman by the name of Margaret Sanger. She was a racist, a bigot, and a supporter of Hitler's ethnic cleansing programs. She was also a believer in eugenics -- trying to improve the qualities of a particular race of people by not allowing those with "undesirable qualities" to have children. For example, someone with an IQ below a certain level or someone with a genetic disease would not be allowed to have children. Mrs. Sanger believed that women who raise children have a shallow existence and was very opposed to the idea of a traditional family within marriage. She once stated that the "most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." Mrs. Sanger also engaged in many affairs outside of her two marriages. She did not have faith in God, and she detested all who did. Margaret Sanger's horrifying beliefs and ideals about sexuality, abortion, birth control, and family have definitely carried over into the work of Planned Parenthood today. What are they teaching you? Planned Parenthood's ideas on sex, family, homosexuality, birth control and abortion go against everything the Catholic Church teaches and what most Christians believe. But their message is often so subtle that we fail to see the evil and perverted messages Planned Parenthood is pushing. - Planned Parenthood teaches that homosexuality is a perfectly natural lifestyle. Jesus teaches that homosexual behavior is perverted, unnatural and sinful, and it's extremely harmful causing disease, heartache and spiritual disaster. - Planned Parenthood believes that teen pregnancy is a problem, but that sex before marriage is okay. In fact, they encourage young people to start having sex whenever they're "ready," just as long as they use condoms and other birth control. And, if young people do get pregnant, Planned Parenthood will be there to provide an abortion. God instructs us that sex belongs inside marriage - that within marriage it is a unique expression of intimacy and closeness helping to bring new life into the world. Outside of marriage, sex is destructive and unnatural. Neither our hearts nor our bodies were made to handle the physical, emotional, or spiritual harm that comes with sex before marriage.
God teaches us that children are a gift from Him.
Planned Parenthood believes that most teenagers will eventually start having sex, so we should prepare them with protection. They believe young people will eventually give in to their sexual desires.
Jesus teaches that you can overcome any temptation through His grace and the power of the Holy Spirit. We are created in the image and likeness of God. We have self control and reason. We are not animals!
How Do They Fool Us?
Planned Parenthood's lies have been accepted by so many people because they are masters at manipulating us with catch phrases, words and ideas that are not supported by real facts.
One phrase they use over and over again is "safe sex." The only safe sex is between married couples who don't use birth control. There is no such thing as safe sex for single people. All the condoms and pills in the world can't protect you from STD's, AIDS, and pregnancy. That's a FACT! And, there is absolutely nothing that can protect you from the spiritual and emotional pain that comes with sex before marriage. Planned Parenthood wants us to believe that sex can be safe outside of marriage because they cash in millions selling birth control and abortion to us.
Planned Parenthood refers to abortion as "removing the contents of the uterus." What??? They make killing a child in the womb sound as simple as having your tonsils removed. They never refer to a child or baby when talking about abortion. They want us to be indifferent and numb when we think about abortion, because they don't want us to say anything about it. They want us to be quiet, so they can keep going about their business.
Sexually transmitted diseases are described by Planned Parenthood as "sexually transmitted infections." Diseases like HPV (warts), chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis can cause sterility, painful side effects and can stay with you for the rest of your life. They don't sound like simple infections to me! Planned Parenthood wants us to believe that these diseases aren't a big deal, because if we really knew the dangers, we might choose to abstain.
Bottom line is that Planned Parenthood doesn't care about you, your health or your future. They care about their sick agenda and their big money! Keep your eyes open! Planned Parenthood wants your money and your mind.

Planned Parenthood's Allies
In keeping with this section's theme, we decided to highlight a few groups that treat sex as nothing more than a good time with no consequences. The movement since the 1960s has been towards sex without responsibility. Safe sex outside of marriage. A whole blitzkreig of organizations have swarmed across our country promoting sex education, safe sex, sexual freedom, etc. They focus on teaching you everything there is to know about sex and its abuse by the time you're, oh, around five years old. In case you don't believe me, here's an excerpt from one of Planned Parenthood's pamphlets:
By age five, children should:
- Use correct terms for all sexual body parts, including the reproductive organs.
- Be able to ask trusted adults questions about sexuality
- Understand the concept that a woman does not have to have a baby unless she wants to.
Anyway, as much material as Planned Parenthood provides us with, there are several other groups out there that deserve our attention as well. The National Organization on Adolescent Pregnancy, Parenting and Prevention is a personal favorite and we'll devote a whole Dark Side to them in the future, but for now you should know that they support sex education starting in kindergarten and mandatory sterilization for everyone until age twenty-one.
A few other key players in the "make sex seem safe" game? Kaiser Permanente and the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE)—oh yes, they're in your schools! The Center for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (a program of the Family Health Council., Inc.) has a group called the Teen Peer Education Program. Teen presenters play games with the audience focusing on the correct way to use a condom, STD identification, icebreakers in talking about sex, and sexual knowledge. The games are interactive and funny (funny-strange? or funny-ha-ha?) and everybody feels just a little more comfortable about having sex outside of marriage when the presentation is over.
Yes, the list is long, distinguished and warped. Believe it or not, these groups, and many more like them, don't have your best interests in mind and don't have a handle on the truth. The facts of the matter are that five-year old kids don't need to know all the facts of life, there is no such thing as "safe sex" outside of marriage and abstinence is the way to go.

Zero Population Growth (ZPG)
In keeping with the theme of this month's newsletter, we're focusing on one of the many groups intent on removing all traces of mankind from the face of the earth. ZPG sums up their approach to depopulation with the following mission statement: Zero Population Growth is a national nonprofit organization working to slow population growth and achieve a sustainable balance between the Earth's people and its resources. We seek to protect the environment and ensure a high quality of life for present and future generations. ZPG's education and advocacy programs aim to influence public policies, attitudes, and behavior on national and global population issues and related concerns.
Doesn't seem too bad. However, once you stumble your way through the big words and official-sounding phrases, the statement translates into: ZPG is receiving a tax break for working to limit the earth's population by any means necessary. Reducing the population through birth control, abortion and who knows what else, will ensure that there are trees for the purple winged sapsucker to nest in and that the few people lucky enough to be born in the future will have everything they want excluding family, friends, co-workers, etc. Using buzz phrases like global population challenge, habitable planet, sustainable society, environmental catastrophe, wanted child and population stabilization, ZPG clouds the real issues, tosses truth out the window like a banana peel and wraps its message of death and destruction in the abstract, surgical cloak of doublespeak. They have a game plan, too. Make killing off the earth's future population cool, logical and attractive. A recent ZPG benefit concert in New York had Jewel, Paula Cole, Judy Collins and a few other popular artists, raising funds to keep ZPG's agenda of annihilation going strong. Most of the people attending the concert probably had no idea where the money was going and you'd think that the artists featured would be concerned about the size of their future audiences (and profits) if the population is cut in half! Then again, foresight has never been a trademark of the liberal left or the Dark side. If you want to know more about ZPG's genocidal goals and feel up to surfing' the netherworld of the web, check out their page at http://www.zpg.org.

United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
Everybody's heard of the United Nations (U.N.). They're constantly sending peacekeeping forces around the world to promote so-called democracy, freedom, and an agenda that includes birth control, abortion, and population control. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), is a subsidiary of the United Nations General Assembly, and they've got some pretty anti-life philosophies and actions lined up to cut back the world's population. This particular Dark Side was sparked by the UN's World Population Day, held on July 11. The event started a countdown to October 12, 1999, the day chosen to symbolize when the world's population will pass six billion. Instead of ranting and raving about what we perceive the UNFPA to be, we'll give you a few of their statements so you can see exactly what they're pushing.
- Press release from the U.N. Secretary-General on World Population Day: "Six billion is also a challenge. Today there are over a billion young people between 15 and 24 years of age. Their decisions about the size and spacing of their families will determine how many people will be on the planet by 2050 and beyond. Their decisions will also help determine how they live in poverty or prosperity; on a green and healthy planet or in a world devastated by human activities." (Translation: the faster the U.N. gets rid of most of the people on earth and prevents anyone else from showing up here, the better off the forests, the whales, and the few survivors will be.)
- "In 1997, 63 percent of UNFPA assistance was used for reproductive health care, including family planning and sexual health."—UNFPA web page
- Press release, New York, 8 April—The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), working with UNHCR and other U.N. agencies, is today sending emergency reproductive health kits, including equipment for safe deliveries and emergency contraceptives for rape victims, to Albania to help Kosovo refugees. The emergency reproductive health kit includes contains the following subkits:
- Oral and indictable contraception kit - intended for women who have been using contraception or wish to begin using it;
- Intrauterine devices (IUD) kit - to place and remove IUDs;
- Condoms
- Vacuum extraction equipment—used by medical personnel at assisted deliveries; (note: this is used to perform suction aspiration abortion, the preferred method of abortion in the first trimester)
You may also find it interesting that the UNFPA lists the following organizations as links on its website: International Planned Parenthood and affiliates, Alan Guttmacher Institute (the research arm of Planned parenthood) and Zero Population Growth (ZPG). Because UNFPA focuses a great deal of attention on young people, staying informed is important. You can check out the UNFPA "plans" online.

Refuse & Resist!
Calling all young people, professionals, artists, community activists, working people, and prominent figures; Refuse & Resist! wants you to lead the way into the new millennium. Silence is not an option! Refuse & Resist! (R&R!) was founded in 1987 to fight President Ronald Reagan's "Resurgent America" program—intended as a "moral awakening of the nation." The founders of R&R! saw this movement as "a fundamentalist, right-wing morality imposed by the state as the vehicle to crush nonconformist behavior-political, social and cultural." Which non-conformist behaviors? Primarily, according to R&R!, women's reproductive rights (the right to kill children in the womb). R&R! says "the actual ability of women to obtain abortion is methodically stripped away through gangster action, parental consent, waiting periods, and the denial of government funding." Sounds rough, but in actuality, the U.S. has made the ability of a woman to obtain an abortion, one of the most accessible and protected rights of this century! The killing of innnocent children has no limitations! Parental consent and waiting periods are different around the country and are avoidable simply by meeting with a judge or driving across state lines. And . . . government funding of abortion, both in the U.S. and overseas, fluctuates slightly and may have some restrictions, but it never stops! Just last January, Hillary Clinton announced that $4.1 million would be designated for abortion clinics to install security systems, bullet proof glass, and other protective measures. And when R&R! uses the word "gangsters," they're talking about the pro-life heroes who have closed down numerous clinics simply through their legal, prayerful, peaceful presence at abortion mills across the country. One of the most frightening aspects of Refuse & Resist! is their R&R! Youth Network. Unbelievably, some of the young people, who were threatened in the womb by legalized abortion, are now actively fighting for its continued legalization under the guise of reproductive freedom. And . . . as if their unwavering support of killing little children wasn't enough, R&R! also stands firmly against "Christian fundamentalist demands for family values" (a belief in God, chastity, faithful marriages, etc.) They describe Christian family values as anti- woman, with "compulsory child bearing and domestic servitude elevated as ideals." Ouch! As a fanatical, activist organization, R&R! has lead numerous protests and demonstrations across the country (often sparking violence), supports and organizes the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers and will use any means they deem necessary to keep pro-lifers away from the abortion mills. And now, R & R! is using bands like Rage Against The Machine (as well as other musicians, artists, and prominent figures) to support and spread their message of hate and murder. R&R! has one thing right—"Silence is not an option." We have to take a LOUD stand in defense of life and morality. You can start by educating yourself by checking out Refuse & Resist's lies online.

March of Dimes
Established in 1938 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the March of Dimes (MOD) is a national voluntary health agency developed to put an end to polio and improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality. They accomplish this through research programs, community services, education, and advocacy. Seems good at first glance, and we can't deny the fact that they have done some great things, but it's their hidden abortion agenda and contradictory stance on human life that has landed them on The Dark Side. In 1972 the March of Dimes pioneered the technique of diagnostic, mid-trimester amniocentesis. This technique is used to obtain a sample of the fluid surrounding a pre- born baby (during the middle of the pregnancy) to determine if the child has a genetic disease such as Down's Syndrome or Spina Bifida. In cases where it's determined that the child has a genetic disease they are often aborted—about 95% of these babies are killed by surgical abortion (termed by MOD as "therapeutic abortion."). While serving on the March of Dimes' Medical Service Advisory Committee, Henry Foster admitted to doing nearly 700 abortions after amniocentesis revealed genetic problems. MOD is also pro-abortion when it comes to babies inside the womb of a mother who has triplets or more. In a paper entitled, "Fetal Reduction and Selective Termination in Multi- Fetal Pregnancy," March of Dimes stated that you can kill one of the babies in a multiple pregnancy "to allow the birth of a healthy newborn, without the birth of a coexisting fetus with a congenital abnormality." They added that it was okay to selectively kill babies "to reduce a multiple pregnancy to a single pregnancy for social or personal indication." As if that wasn't enough, March of Dimes uses aborted babies for fetal tissue research. MOD gave $19,000 to Dr. John F. S. Crocker of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to study congenital kidney abnormalities. In his study, Dr. Crocker used "60 pairs of embryonic kidneys...obtained from human therapeutic abortions after five to twelve weeks gestation." And this is just one of the many cases where MOD supported using the tissue of babies killed by abortion for research. While claiming a policy of strict neutrality when it comes to abortion, the March of Dimes' actions prove otherwise. Their support for aborting babies with genetic diseases, killing children in a multiple pregnancy, and using these aborted babies for research shows that they are anything but neutral!

Sexuality Information & Education Council of the United States (SIECUS)
Interestingly enough, SIECUS was chartered in 1964 by Dr. Mary S. Calderone, one of the infamous past presidents of Planned Parenthood. This is how SIECUS describes itself :
SIECUS is a 35-year-old nonprofit organization, dedicated to affirming that sexuality is a natural and healthy part of life. SIECUS develops, collects, and disseminates information, promotes comprehensive education and advocates the right of individuals to make responsible sexual choices. That's just the beginning. SEICUS believes (strongly) that:
- Parents need help in educating their children about sexuality
- There should be sexuality education in every grade, including pre-school
- Contraceptive information, education and services should be available to adolescents
- Every woman, regardless of age or income, should have the right to abortion—at a reasonable cost
You may have noticed the vicious cycle present in the way these organizations operate: Teach children at a very young age about sex, provide them with free contraceptives, when the birth control fails—abort the baby. SIECUS also claims to be the leader in the fight against the new federal abstinence-only- until-marriage education, describing the program as ineffective and based on fear-tactics. Ironically enough, SIECUS steadfastly promotes school-based sexual education—a program cited by the Consortium of State Physicians as "a failure and not at all safe," while fighting abstinence—an idea based on morality, self-respect, complete freedom and health and already proven to be 100 percent effective. Bottom line is that SIECUS just isn't concerned about your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. To find out more about SIECUS, you can check out their web page at http://www.siecus.org.

National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers
The irony, tragedy and outright evil of this event require little explanation. The following is an excerpt from the Refuse & Resist website promoting the Day of Appreciation:
On this day, stand up with your abortion service providers and say: Thank you for your heroism, perserverance, courage, and commitment to women. We must change the climate overall from one where abortion providers are vilified and attacked to one where they are honored and upheld as the heroes they are. The National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers was initiated in 1996 and co-sponsored by many national organizations and individuals, as a way to help stop the isolation and create a positive climate for abortion providers across the country. March 10th is the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. David Gunn, the first provider murdered. It is a day to remember and honor Dr. Gunn and others who have and continue to put their lives on the line daily to make choice possible. Without abortion providers, there can be no "choice." And without choice, women cannot be free to live and plan their lives. Co-sponsored by a number of pro-death organizations including Planned Parenthood, Medical Students for Choice, NOW, NARAL, Voters for Choice, the National Abortion Federation, and Refuse & Resist, this National Day of Appreciation makes a mockery of life and glorifies the murder of innocent babies. There is no honor in immorality.
There is no heroism or courage involved in killing a defenseless child for money. There is no commitment to the women that find themselves psychologically, emotionally and often-physically scarred by abortion.
Two key points stand out. The first is acknowledging that violence is never the answer. Someone who takes another's life may be against abortion, but is not pro-life. Secondly, our most powerful weapon is prayer. We ask that on this day, you set aside one hour to pray for the forgiveness of the abortion providers while remembering the aborted babies who now find their deaths glorified as "a choice" and "heroic."
