What is Planned Parenthood Really Doing in Haiti?


International Planned Parenthood has focused on the earthquake in Haiti to raise funds -- but for what purpose?

From OneNewsNow
By Charlie Butts

While aid workers continue the hard work of meeting the basic needs of Haitians, International Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups are making their presence known. Paul Tuns is editor of The Interim, which bills itself as "Canada's Life and Family Newspaper."

"When you dig around and look at [their] website and look at the medical services that they are providing, the priorities that they give are to -- quote -- "low-cost, quality sexual and reproductive healthcare," he states.

The pro-life journalist says while Planned Parenthood does not further define on its website and in its literature what that entails, "we know from experience [that it] includes contraceptives, birth control and condoms -- and often, but not always, abortion."

Haiti  earthquake big (Associated Press)According to Tuns, there has been a call from pro-abortion sources -- mostly in Florida -- to increase abortion facilities at this time of need. But what Haitian women really need, he explains, is food, water, and shelter, as well as prenatal care, quality delivery services, and post-natal care. He cautions people about the groups they give money to for aid and relief.

"Groups such as UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, and the International Committee of the Red Cross are all clearly involved with either doing abortions, promoting sterilization, or working with groups that do abortions," he shares.

Tuns says Samaritan's Purse and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief are just two of the Christian-based relief organizations that merit pro-life support.

An Appeal From A Red Cross Nurse in Iraq

I have received many emails from people asking is there is anything I need here in Iraq. Well, I personally am doing well and have no specific needs; however, I go to the hospital here 2 times a week and always inquire if they need anything.

Today when I went there things were busy with casualties. Some in surgery, some in ICU and some in ICW. Both military and civilians. I did get to visit the ones that were out of surgery and in ICW. There were 2 Iraqi women who the "bad guys" as they say here hid in their homes. Well, our good guys got the bad guys but the civilians were wounded in the process. With things heating up they expect to be busy at the hospital.

Anyway, today I was told that they need baby wipes. No particular brand but they use them on the patients. I went to the PX and all they had were 2 boxes which I bought and dropped off. If you feel so inclined to buy a box and send them to me I will make sure they get to the hospital. And include your name so we can send a special thank you for helping support the troops.

You can send them to:

Thanks for your help. I can not tell you how much it will be appreciated.
