NEW S.T.O.P.P. WEB SITE A TOOL FOR ACTIVISM AGAINST PLANNED PARENTHOOD
'The Personhood Imperative'
16 July 2010

Washington, DC – American Life League’s Stop Planned Parenthood International (STOPP) project has just rolled out a new web site designed to give communities and grassroots groups the tools they need to remove Planned Parenthood’s vise-like grip on public schools, communities and tax dollars.
“We’re confident that easier access to STOPP’s wealth of information and proven strategies will be a tremendous aid to the thousands of activists nationwide working to kick Planned Parenthood out of their communities,” said Rita Diller, STOPP’s national director.
STOPP has been fighting against Planned Parenthood since 1985. In 1993, Planned Parenthood publicly announced its goal of having 2,000 facilities in the U.S. by the year 2000. Due, in large part, to STOPP’s work with local communities, Planned Parenthood never achieved that goal. It has gone from 938 non-express clinics in 1995 to 797 today.
The new web site also focuses on STOPP’s new prayer campaign, “Bringing Jesus to Planned Parenthood through Mary,” and contains STOPP’s most recent e-newsletters (The Wednesday STOPP Report), analyses, media releases and news stories, as well as easy access to STOPP’s extensive statistical resources and reference materials.
The Map Room feature lets users explore information about regularly scheduled protests outside of Planned Parenthood facilities the country.
“We will be constantly adding materials and updating the site,” Diller added. “Together, we will make this web site your primary toolbox for getting Planned Parenthood out of town.”
STOPP was the first organization dedicated solely to eliminating Planned Parenthood and was also the first to establish grassroots activism groups to counter Planned Parenthood at the local level.
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.

NRA Members for Sharron Angle [Harry Reid's anti-gun record]
America's Party of Nevada
No, it doesn't.
Harry smiled for the cameras while opening up the gun range, but his voting record on guns earns him an "F" rating from Gun Owners of America. According to the GOA, that means he's an "anti-Gun Voter: a philosophically committed anti-gunner."
Sign our petition and call the NRA today. Tell them to endorse Sharron Angle for US Senate.

Founders' Quotes
'America's Heroes, America's Principles'
"As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity: And by a plain method of argument, as we are running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully. In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life; that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight."
--Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

Personhood Mississippi responds to lawsuit against right to life and right to vote in Mississippi
'The Personhood Imperative'
July 14, 2010
Keith Mason
ACLU and Planned Parenthood attorneys have filed an injunction against the Mississippi Secretary of State, seeking to disallow Mississippi voters from voting on the Mississippi Personhood Amendment.
Amendment sponsors and volunteers exceeded state signature requirements on February 17, becoming only the fourth successful ballot initiative since 1992. The one-sentence amendment reads, “The term ‘person’ or ‘persons’ shall include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof.”
“I find it ironic that the plaintiffs would wait until the first day the court is open after Independence Day, then file a lawsuit that seeks to continue the oppression of the preborn and deny the rights of over 130,000 Mississippi voters,” commented Steve Crampton, renowned Liberty Council Constitutional Attorney.
In regards to the injunction, Lt. Governor Phil Bryant said, “It is unfortunate that certain people would want to block the protection of innocent human life here in Mississippi by filing suit. Not only are they trying to stop pro-life policy but are also trying to deny the voters of Mississippi an opportunity to voice their beliefs on this issue. Those of us who believe there is nothing as important as protecting the unborn will continue to fight to give Mississippians the right to vote to end abortion in our state.”
The ACLU has also joined forces with Planned Parenthood in Nevada, Missouri, and Alaska, employing similar tactics to keep Personhood petitioners and voters from exercising their Constitutional rights. In those states, despite costly delays, the courts have yet to issue a ruling.
“As to the statement that we are ‘redefining a fertilized egg as a person’ it has always been the practice of those who want to deny rights to others to use terminology to dehumanize them. There is no such thing as a fertilized egg, as the new life they are referring to is no longer an egg but a person with his or her own DNA,” explained Les Riley, sponsor of the Mississippi Personhood Amendment. “Further, The ACLU and Planned Parenthood attorneys allege that the one-sentence amendment modifies the Bill of Rights, yet the proposed amendment does not modify any section of the Bill of Rights, it simply clarifies to whom those rights apply. We are not in any way ‘amending’ the Bill of Rights. We do not strike out, insert, substitute any words, or formally alter the current Bill of Rights in any way.”
Continued Riley, “This is clearly a preposterous lawsuit, intended to interfere with Mississippi citizens’ right to vote, and to protect Planned Parenthood’s abortion cash cow. Planned Parenthood and the ACLU are seeking to protect Planned Parenthood’s one billion dollar a year profit, while Mississippi voters are seeking to protect innocent life. We intend to fight this suit, defending our rights as Mississippi voters and the most basic right of preborn children, the right to life.”

TMLC: Dearborn Declares War on the Four Christian Missionaries; They Respond—A Must See Video
Free the First Amendment Committee
Thomas More Law Center
ANN ARBOR, MI – In an unprecedented and astonishing development, the City of Dearborn, through its mayor and its official website, has personally attacked the four Christian missionaries arrested at the annual Arab International Festival on June 18, 2010. The Mayor’s intrusion into the case destroyed whatever semblance remained of an unbiased and professional law enforcement action following the illegal seizure of video cameras to prevent recording of the events surrounding the arrests.
One of the Christian missionaries, Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, MD, tore apart the mayor’s five page statement attacking the missionaries. “Oh Really, Mayor O’Reilly?” [Click here to see video]
Dr. Qureshi was engaged in a peaceful dialogue with several Muslim youths. The other three missionaries were merely videotaping the conversation when the Dearborn police moved in, seized the cameras, and then made the arrests.
The four Christian missionaries were arraigned on criminal charges on Monday morning, July 12, in Dearborn’s 19th Judicial District Court. The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan is representing all of the Christian missionaries.
The Thomas More Law Center defends and promotes America’s Christian heritage and moral values, including the religious freedom of Christians, time-honored family values, and the sanctity of human life. It supports a strong national defense and an independent and sovereign United States of America. The Law Center accomplishes its mission through litigation, education, and related activities. It does not charge for its services. The Law Center is supported by contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations, and is recognized by the IRS as a section 501(c)(3) organization.
