The messages of Planned Parenthood VS the message of HOPE
Compare The messages of Planned Parenthood vs. the messages of HOPE Resource Center of McKinney.
Planned Parenthood says:
Values free; individual decides right and wrong; secular humanist worldview.
Teen sexual promiscuity is inevitable.
“Safer-sex” practices should be used by teens to avoid STDs and pregnancy; condoms, contraceptives, and “outercourse” encouraged.*
“Lesbian, gay, bisexual and straight….All these sexual orientations are perfectly normal.”**
Easy access to birth control and emergency contraceptives is the way to reduce abortions.
Children are a burden if they aren't part of your plan; every child should be a wanted child; therefore if not wanted by the mother, abortion is perfectly acceptable. Women have control over life.
“Abortion is a very safe procedure. It’s about twice as safe as having your tonsils removed.”**
Serious long term emotional problems after abortion are rare; because abortion is a personal choice, neither right nor wrong, women should not feel guilty if they choose abortion.
HOPE stands for:
Absolute truth based on Bible; God determines right and wrong; Christian world view.
Teens are capable of controlling their bodies and upholding moral standards.
Abstinence until marriage is the way for teens to avoid STDs and pregnancy; sexual purity honors the Lord and protects teens from physical, emotional and spiritual harm
God’s design for human sexuality is heterosexual, one man married to one woman for a lifetime.
Sexual integrity and respect for the sanctity of life is the way to reduce abortions.
Children are a blessing; every child IS a wanted child, if not by his birthmother, then certainly by a couple waiting to adopt; God has sovereign control over life.
Abortion has serious physical and emotional risks. Abortion kills a baby, created in the image of God; abortion harms women and men deeply.
Long term emotional pain is not uncommon after abortion; because abortion is sin, there are ramifications for the women and men involved; HOPE’s post-abortion support group and Bible study offers a biblical path to forgiveness and healing.
The following scripture reveals the tragic truth about the harmful message and agenda of PP:
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12

*outercourse refers to all sexual activity other than vaginal intercourse
** quotes taken directly from PP’s vulgar and explicit teen website, www.teenwire.com, that teaches the “art and science” of premarital sex.

Who is Planned Parenthood?
Many of you are aware that Planned Parenthood Express opened in McKinney last month. We wanted to take this opportunity to be sure that you know who PP really is and what messages they send, especially to our children. Despite their claims that “no one does more to help women,” here are some facts you need to know.
• It’s about abortion: PP is America’s largest abortion provider, performing 289,750 abortions in 2006. That is 5,572 babies killed each week.*
• It’s about money: While PP is classified as a not-for-profit corporation, they reported an "excess of revenue over expenses" of $114.8 million for fiscal year 2006-2007.*
• It’s about YOUR money: PP’s most recent annual report shows that they received $336.7 million from taxpayers through government grants and contracts.* Your tax money is then used to sue the federal government over legislation that puts limits and regulations on abortion, like the ban on partial birth abortion and parental notice and consent laws. Your money supports their agenda.
• It’s about sex: They promote values free sexual education, which teaches teens that as long as you think you are ready for sex, then it’s OK. Their perverted sex ed breaks down natural inhibitions which leads to an increasing number of PP customers for birth control and abortion.
* Taken from PP’s most recent annual report: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/files/AR_2007_vFinal.pdf
Nationwide PP has an extremely powerful influence in schools and legislation. But praise be to God that He has provided another voice to our community—the voice of HOPE! Compare the messages of PP with the messages of HOPE Resource Center of McKinney.

40 Day vigil info
PRAYING FOR LIFE : June 16- July 26
Planned Parenthood has quietly crept into our backyard when they recently set up a Planned Parenthood Express in McKinney, TX. The Christian community throughout north Collin County is invited to take part in a peaceful prayer vigil that will last 40 continuous days beginning June 16 thru July 26. Please consider volunteering to pray outside of the Planned Parenthood facility for one or more hours during this vigil. You do NOT need any previous experience, training, or expertise to participate. The only qualification is to have a heart that is Christ filled and willing to serve by peacefully praying for an end to abortion and for peace and healing for all those who have been victimized by the abortion industry. We will be having prayer times at churches all over the area during the days that the Planned Parenthood Express is closed (they are only open 3 day per week). To get more information call Melaine at 214-385-6823 or visit the vigil website at http://freewebs.com/mckinneyprayervigil/
