American United for Life Update

Abortion is reaching crisis levels in our cities while Planned Parenthood is raking in the profits. For example, the New York City Department of Health recently reported that upwards of 41% of all pregnancies end in abortion. This is a national tragedy.

Here are the facts: Planned Parenthood receives over $350 million of your tax dollars each year – nearly one-third of its funding comes directly from taxpayers like you and me. These tax dollars are the lifeblood of Planned Parenthood's abortion empire – and if we can cut off Planned Parenthood's federal funding base, we can immediately save lives.

Planned Parenthood's real objective is to make abortion more frequent and more profitable, while you and I foot the bill. Meanwhile, the cities are ground zero in the war for the unborn.

With the gains our movement made on Election Day, now is the time to cut off Planned Parenthood's government funding, once and for all!

In His Grace

O Beloved, how often we seek to live in our own strength and to approach God on our own merit rather than on His grace! We fail to appropriate His grace, which is there to cover our failure and to save us from despair.

For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. John 1:16

HOT OFF THE PRESSES:

AUL NOTES INCREASING NUMBER OF ABORTIONS FOLLOWING PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S PRO-ABORTION BUSINESS MODEL

Prior to the Guttmacher Institute’s release of their latest survey of abortion data in the United States, AUL reviewed a copy and found a striking result: following a change in Planned Parenthood’s business model, the decline in the number and rate of abortions “stalled.” 

AUL’s analysis found that Planned Parenthood’s emphasis on chemical abortions and “mega clinics” in urban areas are factored into why the long-term national decline in abortion rates has recently “stalled.”

Guttmacher admits that looking only at the relatively small change in national numbers “masks substantial changes in some states.” Data historically shows the regulation of abortion has a direct impact on abortion rates. However, the Guttmacher report fails to examine changes in state legislation regulating abortion.

AUL is the industry leader in drafting legislation at the state and federal level. Dr. Charmaine Yoest, who was widely quoted in national coverage of Guttmacher’s report, said that AUL’s model legislation on regulation of chemical abortions “is a ground-breaking tool for reigning in deadly drugs.” 

But there is another, more effective legislative prescription for a rising abortion rate: Defund Planned Parenthood. 

“Almost 70 percent of Americans – pro-life and pro-choice – agree that tax dollars should not support abortion,” said Yoest. “In the Guttmacher data we see the tragic result of an aggressive abortion industry.”

Christ the Righteousness of the Believer

This is His name whereby He shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.  Jeremiah 23:6b

Saviour divine, we know thy name,

And in that name we trust;

Thou art the Lord our righteousness,

Thou are thine Israel's boast.

That spotless robe which thou hast wrought,

Shall clothe us all around,

Nor by the piercing eye of God

One blemish shall be found.

WAIT Training Conference

The LINC Network (network for youth pastors) which consists of over a dozen churches in the bay area has been working hard at hosting a WAIT Training Certification Seminar in our area. We believe this training would better equip pastors, educators, parents and other influential adults to prepare our teenagers to develop healthy relationships with others especially with those of the opposite sex. WAIT training (www.waittraining.org) is a sex and relationship education program which empowers teens and their parents by teaching them relationship and boundary setting skills and providing them with tools to help them abstain from sexual activity and other high risk behaviors.  WAIT encourages students to make healthy choices and focus on their goals and dreams.  It does not expect them to fail in the area of sexual health or assume a back-up plan is necessary because their failure is expected.  Instead, it teaches positive relationship skills and the affects of teen sex on their health and how it diminishes their chances to achieve their goals and dreams.  WAIT teaches students skills in order to develop and maintain healthy relationships.  It promotes healthier relationships with peers, parents, and other authority figures.  WAIT has a profound impact in the lives of teens and those who want to make better choices regarding their sexual decisions.  The results have been phenomenal. It is unlike any program I have ever witnessed. 

The LINC Network will be hosting a WAIT Training Certification Seminar February 4-5 at Clear Creek Community Church in League City TX. The seminar will give you the tools to teach this curriculum and qualifies you to teach it within a school system. If you are interested in participating you can register at www.waittraining.org.

If you are not ready to commit but interested in learning more about Wait Training please come to our Free Community Awareness Event on Tuesday, January 18^th from 6:30pm – 8:00 pm. Clear Creek Community Church (Mix Auditorium, upstairs of Bldg. B.) 999 Egret Bay Blvd. N. - League City, TX 77573.
