Welcome to Change, Part 1

Recent News:
Obama Receives Wish List from Abortion Activists.
Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America and more than 50 of their pro-abortion allies have laid out their priorities for the incoming president in a 55-page memo. The document covers everything from suggested executive orders and presidential memorandums to legislative changes and regulatory initiatives. Included in this list are requests to eliminate funding for abstinence education, pro-abortion judicial nominees, a $400 million increase in funding for Planned Parenthood and funding for international organizations that promote abortion.

Of course, none of this is shocking news. What else would they seek to promote? However, there are some smaller things mentioned that surprised me and might surprise you as well. I'm also planning on commenting on some of the obvious requests, just because I want everyone to be aware of this.

First, a listing of some of the groups that signed onto this memorandum that you may not have expected (or maybe you did).
  • Advocates for Youth
  • American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
  • American Medical Student Association
  • American Social Health Association
  • Healthy Teen Network
  • Sierra Club
A few of these are reputable organizations that are heavily involved in the education of our medical professionals. And involved in our schools in promoting teen health. Unfortunately, you'll see that what they are advocating for does not actually help teens.

Second, I am
saddened when I read this and when I see the list of organizations represented. Those who put together this paper are lost and blinded. They need our prayers most of all.

More to follow...
