LA Passes Conscience Clause Bill for ALL Health Care Workers

MEDIA ADVISORY, June 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- The LA Healthcare 
Workers Conscience Act, HB-517, passed late this afternoon, LARTL is 
reporting. Despite efforts to dilute the inevitability of the bill by 
pro-abortion pols, pro-life legislators fought off the attack against 
rights of conscience for ALL health care workers. The bill had been 
amended days ago so that it only applied to public employees, but Sen. 
Amedee was able to strip that line from the bill today. The LA House had 
originally passed the bill by a 2 to 1 margin of 65 to 33. The Senate 
followed last week and the final Senate- House conference overwhelmingly 
passed the conference bill 31-2. Gov. Bobby Jindal, who has a strong 
pro-life record, has promised to sign the bill.

association which is exclusively pro-life, something no other pharmacy

*EXPOSING TRUTH: PRIMARY CARE LESS THAN 1% OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD BUSINESS
*

*Washington, DC (24 June 2009)* -- In order to get its hands on an even 
larger chunk of President Barack Obama's socialized healthcare package, 
Planned Parenthood is rolling out a new ad campaign in the Washington 
D.C. area.

The nation's largest abortion chain wants D.C. viewers to believe that 
90 percent of the services it provides consist of "preventive and 
primary care."

However, the reality, according to Planned Parenthood's own data, is 
that primary care accounts for 0.7 percent of its lucrative business.

"As Obama pushes toward national health care, Planned Parenthood is 
desperately trying to position itself as a mainstream health service 
organization," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League. 
"Planned Parenthood has always been a master of word games and numbers 
manipulation. This is just its latest thinly-veiled attempt to get more 
taxpayer funding for abortion and contraception."

Planned Parenthood's 2007-2008 Annual Report accounts for 3,020,651 
unduplicated clients in 2007. Only 21,247 of them received "primary 
care," according to the business' own definition.

This means that only 0.7 percent of Planned Parenthood's customers 
receive primary care services.

U.S. News and World Report quoted Planned Parenthood president Cecile 
Richards June 17 in its coverage of the new ad campaign:

    As Congress begins debate over healthcare reform, Richards would
    like legislators to know that Planned Parenthood clinics are in
    favor of those common ground approaches. "We want our clinics and
    other community health providers to be part of the network that's
    included in health reform."

"Planned Parenthood is not part of mainstream health care," Sedlak 
contended. "It is and always has been a radical organization that 
sexualizes children, protects child predators, and refuses to tell 
clients about the abortifacient nature of birth control."

"Taxpayer funding of this business should stop immediately," Sedlak 
said. "We encourage our legislators to look at the facts, not Planned 
Parenthood's propaganda, and refuse to include the nation's largest 
abortion chain in any national healthcare plan."

American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the 
largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States 
and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the 
moment of creation to natural death.  For more information or press
