Volume 17 Issue 7 - July 2002 WILL THE REAL TERRORISTS PLEASE STAND UP "The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward to question him." Proverbs 18:17 This is an article that I wrote with the help of Flip Benham in response to a Planned Parenthood propaganda piece that the Waco Tribune published. Prayerfully, they will have the courage to run it. Recently an article was written in the Waco Tribune called "Abortion site sparks hot debate." The article covered the controversial website called Abortioncams.com. To the author, Terri Jo Ryan’s credit, she did seek to balance the article from the local Pro-life perspective. Unfortunately, many local Pro-life leaders were abroad and with the constraint of deadlines the article was presented solely from Planned Parenthood’s skewed perspective. Pam Smallwood and Pat Stone, no strangers to free publicity, decided to hitch their collective wagon to this media-generated hysteria concerning Abortioncams.com to illicit sympathy for their pro-abortion cause. After wading through their absurd claims of terroristic threats against them, (with not one shred of concrete evidence presented except, of course, their own words) one would have thought the article was called "The victimization of the abortion industry." In this article, Planned Parenthood attempted to portray itself as a modern day hero suffering through the day to day terroristic threats and acts of violence perpetrated by mean-spirited, Pro-life Christians in its efforts to provide women "health care" (read, kill children). What it really fears, however, is that God-fearing Christians will continue to expose the lies and murder of the abortion industry and remain on the streets to offer mothers a real choice called life at their abortion mills. Yes, the entire abortion industry is crumbling under the weight of its own sin and it knows it. Abortions are at their lowest level since 1976. New doctors are not entering into the abortion industry. One just has to look at the desperation in New York City to force medical interns to learn the abortion procedure to verify this truth. There are 675 fewer abortion mills today than there were in 1991. The battle for the lives of children is being won as gentle Christians live out their faith at abortion mills. Yes, terrorism is a reality today. Just ask the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the 3800 little baby boys and girls that are being targeted, tortured and murdered every day in America by those who would have you believe that they are the ones being terrorized. These terrorists don’t fly airplanes however, and neither do they knock at the door of the mother’s womb. No! They just barge in and begin ripping off arms and legs of defenseless children. They then throw away these children like a piece of trash. If this is just inflammatory rhetoric and a lie, then I invite Planned Parenthood to sue me for libel and slander. When we show them the horrible carnage of what they do, they simply run to the media to whine that they are victims of terrorism. They are being terrorized all right, by what is called a guilty, seared conscience that is in danger of reprobation. By presenting itself as the victims of terrorism, they deceptively conceal the terrorism they commit against innocent children who are made in the image of God. When one loses an argument morally, scientifically, and theologically, he can only resort to one other ruse to win-argument ad hominem (name-calling). Thus we have the abortion industry’s latest campaign to vilify Pro-life Christians as terrorists. The abortion industry is doing all that it can, with the bias support of the media, to remove the focus from itself and the horrific terrorism it perpetrates upon innocent children in the womb. They must have a scapegoat to deflect their evil and Pro-life Christian fit their bill. Regardless, the battle for the lives of unborn children is being won as gentle Christians live out their faith in the streets of their cities. One by one, abortion mills are closing. One by one abortion industry employees are repenting and giving their hearts to Christ. One by one, mothers are choosing life for their children. Jesus is bigger than the abortion industry and the gates of hell they represent. He is the one it should fear for destroying His image-bearers and not some website! Pedophile priests and Planned Parenthood By Joseph Farah The Catholic Church is, understandably, under a great deal of heat – not because a few priests sexually abused children, but because the institution allowed it to happen and failed to report such crimes to authorities. Why isn't there an equal amount of outrage over Planned Parenthood's analogous negligence in covering up thousands of similar sexual molestations of underage girls by adult men? In case you don't know what I'm talking about, I refer you to a story broken by WorldNetDaily last month and widely picked up by other news agencies. A Texas group called Life Dynamics released a study showing that the overwhelming number of underage pregnant girls were impregnated by adult men – in other words, sexual predators, child molesters. In the course of researching this problem, the group discovered Planned Parenthood's sinister role in covering up the statistics as well as the individual crimes of sexual abuse perpetrated by these adult men. Here's the way the scheme works: When a teen-age girl reports to a Planned Parenthood worker that she is pregnant by an adult man, more often than not the organization conspires to conceal the crime involved. Sometimes, the employees actually coach the girls to avoid parental involvement and reporting requirements to law enforcement. In other words, Planned Parenthood was caught red-handed – over and over again – breaking the laws of the land. While the Planned Parenthood story got some national attention, no one yet has made the obvious connection between the way Planned Parenthood conspired to cover up sexual crimes against children and the allegations against the church. Obviously, both organizations need to be accountable under the laws of the land. Worse yet, Planned Parenthood, unlike the church, is still being given hundreds of millions of tax dollars a year to continue its shameful work. I am not aware of even one member of Congress who has called for a review of the group's funding following the revelations about the child sex-abuse cover-up. Understand that Planned Parenthood counsels millions of girls every year. The pattern of negligence discovered through the Life Dynamics study suggests it is business as usual to break the law in those sessions. It suggests Planned Parenthood is actively protecting pedophiles who prey on young girls. It suggests this has been going on for a long time and there is no evidence to suggest the approach of the organization and its counselors has changed. They are still telling little girls not to squeal on their predators. They are still covering up the scandal of widespread victimization of little girls by grown men. They are still breaking the law. And they are still getting paid by you to do it. I don't understand the selective outrage being expressed toward the Catholic Church while the prolific ongoing crimes of Planned Parenthood are overlooked by the public, law enforcement authorities and by the federal government that sponsors the group. There is an epidemic of child sex abuse gripping our country. Very little of it has anything to do with the Catholic Church. To focus all of our attention on that institution at the exclusion of others does America's children a grave disservice. Studies show that 60 to 80 percent of girls 15 and younger who get pregnant are impregnated by adult men. Today, a junior high school girl – your junior high school girl – is more likely to become pregnant by an adult man than by someone near her own age. There's a reason for this. The predators have a taxpayer-supported lobbying group helping them. Its name is Planned Parenthood and it's time to blow the whistle on the scandal. Don't expect anyone in Washington to wake up to this outrage without some noise being made. By all means, write to your representatives and senators. Tell them it's time to pull the plug on Planned Parenthood funding. Tell them it's time to prosecute not only pervert priests and those who protect them, but the predators who victimize young girls and the organization that ensures they get away with their crimes.

(Esther 4:14b) The battle is waxing hot for the souls of men, the lives of our children, and the future of America. Though I’m convinced the Church of Jesus Christ will ultimately prevail in fulfilling the Great Commission, there is no such confidence however that the Church in America will be a significant player in the Lord’s victory. Especially if the Church in America continues in its feminized, seeker-friendly, and apostate ways. The Kingdom Leadership Institute is designed to restore the brand of Biblical Christianity that turned the world upside down. Conversely, it is a call to reject the modern-day brand of Christianity that has turned the Church in America upside down and made of her a Church of non-effect. Our Lord has opened many doors to reach, identify, equip, and send forth the next generation of leaders who by God’s grace will be a part of that much needed reformation. We have three KLI’s scheduled within the next month or so. The cities hosting the KLI’s are Chicago, Dallas, and Milo, MO. Please pray for me and my family. The preaching and ministry schedule will be intense. Besides speaking three times a day for the three weeks of KLI, we will also help prepare the way and participate in OSA’s national event in Dallas. OPERATION SAVE AMERICA’S NATIONAL EVENT Dallas, TX, July 13th-21st, 2002 We at OSA have become convinced that abortion will not come to an end in this nation one second sooner than when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind that its going to end. If we do not speak out at this time, when we see the sword of our Lord coming down from within and from without, the blood will be upon our own heads. Come be that voice. Come teach your children to follow hard after Christ. Come storm the gates of hell as they cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ! Come Join us! Street activities every day. Rallies every night at Calvary Hill Baptist Church located at 3300 La Prada, Mesquite, TX. Teaching seminars will be held by leaders from across the nation. Scheduled speakers include Flip Benham, Director of OSA, Rusty Thomas, Assistant Director of OSA, Father Frank Pavone, Director of Priests for Life, and Mrs. Judy Brown, Director of American Life League.
