*Planned Parenthood spearheads effort to influence Obama health care*

The Bulletin
The nation's largest domestic terrorist group and  provider of abortions 
laid siege to Capitol Hill Thursday lobbying lawmakers to include 
"women's health" issues in the massive Barrie Hussein  health care plan. 
On Thursday, a cackling gaggle of Planned Parenthood staff, board 
members and volunteers visited 250 lawmakers on the Hill. Their purpose, 
as stated by a Planned Parenthood release, was to ensure "any health 
care reform effort must include access to comprehensive reproductive 
health care" i.e. abortion on demand including no rights of conscience 
for those who still have one.

*PENCE AMENDMENT TO STRIP RACIST PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF TITLE X FUNDING
*

*Washington, DC (21 July 2009)* -- US Rep Mike Pence, (R-IN) is 
attempting to eliminate millions in taxpayer funding from Planned 
Parenthood, an organization under fire in the past year for racist 
targeting of minority populations, institutionally protecting child 
rapists and misusing tax funds.

Planned Parenthood uses Title X funding to fuel its contraceptive and 
sex-education programs. 

His measure, the Pence Amendment, states, "None of the funds made 
available under this Act shall be available to Planned Parenthood for 
any purpose under Title X of the Public Health Services Act."

*Last year, Planned Parenthood raked in $374.7 million in clinic income 
and an additional $349.6 million in government grants and contracts.  *

"Regardless of your views on abortion, our nation cannot afford to throw 
millions of dollars at an organization not only shown to misuse tax 
funds but one that continually puts the lives of men, women and children 
in danger," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League.

American Life League president Judie Brown sent a letter to hundreds of 
thousands of supporters around the country last week, urging them to 
contact their members of Congress and ask them to allow an up-or-down 
vote on the Pence Amendment.

"Planned Parenthood's agenda is putting our kids in danger from sexual 
predators on a daily basis," Brown said. "The gravity of Planned 
Parenthood's crimes transcends party lines. Any American concerned about 
keeping our kids safe should support the Pence Amendment."

156 Leading Conservatives to Senate: Obama's Supreme Court Nominee 
Disqualified

MANASSAS, Va., July 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- 156 conservative and 
constitutional cause leaders and citizens have signed a letter to 
members of the U.S. Senate expressing opposition to the confirmation of 
President Obama's nominee to be an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme 
Court, Judge Sonia Sotomayor.

One of the letter's signers, Richard A. Viguerie, said, "The media and 
Republicans aren't defining President Obama as an extremist politically 
and constitutionally; therefore, it is up to us conservatives. It is 
also important that a message be sent that, while Republicans may not be 
unified in opposing Obama's dangerous and unconstitutional agenda, 
conservatives and other constitutionalists are united."

"President Obama has nominated a radical judicial activist who 
apparently feels the need to mask her outrageous statements, rulings and 
writings over the years with the soothing words of a constitutionalist," 
said Kay Daly, president of the Coalition for a Fair Judiciary. "Perhaps 
the Left has discovered that the American people most certainly do not 
want the Constitution to be radically altered on the whims of empathy. 
Sotomayor's extremist actions throughout the years speak far more loudly 
than the pretty words she spoke at her confirmation hearing. A 'no' vote 
for Sotomayor is a 'yes' vote for the Constitution," Daly said.

The letter notes it may be historic that a nominee to the Supreme Court 
has gone on record at her confirmation hearing to reject the underlying 
judicial philosophy of the President who made the nomination. The letter 
also states in part:

"Given that an appointment to the Supreme Court is for life, the 
statements by the President and his advisors, and Judge Sotomayor's 
pre-confirmation statements that conflicted with her confirmation 
testimony, we believe her judicial philosophy is indeed one that should 
disqualify her from appointment to the Supreme Court.

"This is a matter of whether the nominee has demonstrated that she will 
abide by the role of the judiciary consistent with, and as constrained 
by, the Constitution.

"Judge Sotomayor's rulings, whether dealing with the 1st Amendment, 2nd 
Amendment, private property rights, criminal law, use of foreign law, 
race, equal protection and other areas of law, demonstrate that, if she 
is consistently 'empathetic' at all, it is in favor of government power, 
even beyond constitutional constraints."

Among the 156 who signed the letter are: Curt Levey of the Committee for 
Justice and Manny Miranda of Third Branch; plus: Gary Aldrich, Bob Barr, 
Morton Blackwell, Brent Bozell, Floyd Brown, KellyAnne Conway, Janice 
Shaw Crouse, Marjorie Dannenfelser, Elaine Donnelly, Joseph Farah, Alan 
Gottlieb, Colin Hanna, Andrea Lafferty, Jeffrey Mazzella, Chuck Muth, 
Tony Perkins, Larry Pratt, William Redpath, Al Regnery, David Ridenour, 
Ron Robinson, Ilya Shapiro, Rev. Lou Sheldon, Matt Staver, Herb Titus 
and Wendy Wright.
