~ richeyjo ~ Leave a comment

The Lincoln Park Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC) serves the areas of Allen Park, Taylor, Dearborn, parts of Southeast Detroit, Melvindale, Wyandotte and Southgate (zip codes of 48208, 48216, 48210, 48209, 48218, 48229, 48217, 48122, and 48125). They help approximately 1,000 pregnant mom’s each year, and currently have twenty eight (28) volunteers that work at the center.

All items are donated by various individuals, groups, churches, and other organizations, as well as a variety of local fundraising events throughout the year.

The CPC gives free pregnancy tests, referrals for medical care, housing, further education, financial assistance, legal assistance, community assistance, counseling of alternatives to abortion, support groups, information on sexually transmitted infections, and childbirth and other classes.

Also offered are ongoing personal counseling, referrals for foster home care for baby, prenatal and postnatal guidance, referrals for adoption information, assistance with career planning, as well as offering post abortion counseling and support groups.

The CPC is an independent, nonpolitical, non-sectarian center, and they are prepared to help you whether you are single or married, regardless of age, race, or religion. The CPC cares about both the mom and baby and understands that some moms may be facing perhaps the greatest personal crisis of their life. NO ONE HAS TO FACE IT ALONE because moms and their babies are important, valuable human beings with basic rights and individual needs.

The Crisis Pregnancy Center is located on the northwest corner of Fort Street and Southfield Road, at 1760 Fort Street, Lincoln Park, MI 48146. Phone number is (313) 386-4005.

Hours open: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and on Wednesday and Thursday from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Website: www.cpc4lp.Com

If you live in the area, we are always looking for more volunteers to work at the CPC, be it answering the phones, unpacking and placing specific articles of clothing, toys, cribs, diapers, baby wipes, formula, etc. in their proper place, greeting the moms that come to our center, or helping in any way possible.

Should you have any articles for baby (clothes, toys, diapers, formula, strollers, etc. ) or mom (maternity clothes), please consider donating them to the CPC, and encourage family and friends to do the same. The moms we help are the ones who chose LIFE instead of ABORTION, and as a community, we need to do all that we can to help more moms make the same decision.

If you would like to become more involved in a Right to Life group, you can contact the Upper Downriver Right to Life located at 2010 Eureka, Wyandotte, MI 48192. (734) 282-6100, or like us on Facebook at Wyandotte Right to Life or Upper Downriver Right to Life. Our Facebook pages show all upcoming events and we hope you will join us.

The first child has died under a new law in Belgium allowing doctors to euthanize children. In 2014, Belgium voted to extend euthanasia to children with disa

In the United States, a recent Gallup Poll found that 84% of males supported euthanasia compared to 64% of females.  Some cite the prior studies showing that women have a higher level of religiosity and moral conservatism as an explanation. Within both sexes, there are differences in attitudes towards euthanasia due to other influences. For example, one study found that black American women are 2.37 times more likely to oppose euthanasia than white American women. Black American men are 3.61 times more likely to oppose euthanasia than white American men.”

life-chain

Metro Detroit and Michigan Life Chain locations began shortly after the first Life Chain that took place in Yuba City, Caliornia.
Since that time it has grown to include 1900 locations throughout the United States and Canada.  In Michigan last year there were 104 locations with 43 of them in Metro Detroit, most of which have already been confirmed as renewed for the first Sunday of October, which is October 2nd this year.
The Life Chain is a quiet, peaceful, prayerful witness along major roadways.  People young and older hold signs witnessing to the value of each human life from conception to natural death.  Participants pray for the protection of the unborn as they hold the sign “Abortion Kills Children.”  That sign has saved hundreds of babies over the years.  Mothers have come forward years later to thank participants and introduce the child she had planned to abort.  The simple, straight forward message changes minds and hearts and has saved many children.
Other signs witness to the loving concern of the Life Chain participants:
  • Abortion hurts Women
  • Pray for an end to Abortion
  • Adoption: the loving option
  • El Aborto Mata Ninos
  • Life: the First Inalienable Right
  • Pregnant?  Need Help?  800-57-WOMAN
As the end of life is more often threatened, another sign can be seen in the Life Chain: “Assisted Suicide Kills.”
Life Chains are organized entirely by volunteers.  The National Director Royce Dunn, the webmasters and state directors are unpaid.  Many of the local coordinators are dedicated individuals or churches.  Others are organized by affiliates of Right to Life of Michigan.  The Right to Life Lifespan committee organizes 42 Life Chains in southeast Michigan.  Any donations above and beyond the cost of signs are directed to local Pregnancy Centers who assist mothers and their babies.
Families and individuals interested in participating in this year’s Life Chain can find a location near them at www.lifechain.net.  There is also information about starting a new Life Chain.  New Life Chains this year include Woodhaven and Flint.  The Flint Life Chain and a few others are organized in conjunction with 40 Days for Life, another group committed to protecting unborn children through witness and prayer.
Following the Life Chain, from 3:30 to 5:00 pm, there will be an Open House at the Right to Life of Michigan Wayne County Resource Center at 2010 Eureka Road, Wyandotte.  Call 734-282-6100 for further information.

By Servant of God – Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ
 
LORD JESUS CHRIST, you told us to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God. Enlighten the minds of our people in America. May we choose a President of the United States, and other government officials, according to your Divine will. Give our citizens the courage to choose leaders of our nation who respect the sanctity of unborn human life, the sanctity of marriage, the sanctity of marital relations, the sanctity of family, and the sanctity of aging. Grant us the wisdom to give You, what belongs to You, our God. If we do this, as a nation, we are confident You will give us an abundance of Your blessings through our elected leaders. Amen

Debunking Planned Parenthood’s “3%” Abortion Myth

Planned Parenthood’s misleading marketing

Despite recent language from abortion supporters endorsing abortion as a positive good to be “shouted” from the rooftops, Planned Parenthood knows that they must downplay abortion to maintain the hundred of millions of taxpayer dollars they receive every year. The American people broadly oppose tax funding of abortions.

Share the above  video and educate others.  Video created by the prolife group “Live Action” that shows how Planned Parenthood attempts to hide their commitment to abortion.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a Time for Celebration, but We Must Get the Word Out to the Hispanic Community About Abortion.

Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1988 when President Ronald Reagan ( Republican) extended Hispanic Heritage Week to a 30-day period. President Lyndon B. Johnson inaugurated the original week-long celebration in 1968.

Reagan’s extension officially became law on Aug. 17, 1988, with the enactment of Public Law 100-402. Hispanic Heritage Month lasts from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 every year. The celebration’s opening day coincides with the celebration of national independence in five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. The month also includes Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16 and Chilean Independence Day on Sept. 18. The extended month also includes Columbus Day on Oct. 12, which many people in Latin America celebrate as Día de la Raza.

Celebrate life for Hispanic Heritage Month – but let’s talk FACT about abortion!

Hispanic women make up about 16 percent of all women in the United States yet they have 25 percent of all abortions, according to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute. Abortion clearly has a disparate impact on people of Hispanic ethnicity.

Every day about 720 Hispanic women will abort their unborn child. These and all other women need to be reached with a pro-life message. During this Hispanic Heritage Month, take a look at our many Spanish language resources and share them to help raise awareness about the high abortion numbers within the Hispanic community.

A strong community values every individual in it.

  • Today, more than 720 Hispanic women will make the choice to abort their unborn child.  Facts you should know and share (313) 212-1326 • www.RTL.org
  • People of Hispanic origin in the United States account for 16.3% of the total U.S. Population – 50,325,523 (US Census 2010)
  • Hispanic women are having a disproportionate number of abortions. Hispanic and African-American women together total more than half of all the abortions in the United States — in fact, 55% (Alan Guttmacher Institute 2008)
  • 25% of all abortions are being performed on Hispanic women (AGI 2008) but they represent more than 16% of the female population (US Census 2010)
  • More than 264,500 unborn Hispanic babies die each year as a result of legalized abortion (AGI 2008)
  • For women who are 15 – 44 years old, the abortion rate for non-Hispanic whites is 7.7
    per 1000, but it changes to 15.3 per 1000 for Hispanic women (Center for Disease Control 2012)

SPANISH INTERPRETATION

  • Las personas de origen hispano en los Estados Unidos representan el 16,3% de
    la población total de EE.UU. – 50,325,523. (Censo de EE.UU. 2010)
  • Las mujeres hispanas tienen un número desproporcionado de abortos. Las mujeres
    hispanas y afro-americanas en conjunto suman más de la mitad de todos los abortos
    en los Estados Unidos – de hecho, el 55% (Instituto Alan Guttmacher 2008)
  • 25% de todos los abortos se llevan a cabo en mujeres hispanas (AGI 2008), sin embargo ellas representan el 16% de la población femenina (Censo de EE.UU. 2010)
  • Más de 264.500 bebés hispanos no nacidos mueren cada año como resultado de la
    legalización del aborto (AGI 2008)
  • Hoy, más de 720 mujeres hispanas tomaran la decisión de abortar a su hijo por nacer (AGI 2008)
  • Para las mujeres que de 15 – 44 años, la tasa de aborto para las blancas no hispanas es de 7.7 por 1000, pero cambia a 15.3 por 1000 para las mujeres hispanas (Centro para el Control de Enfermedades 2012).

A Heapin' Plate of Conservative Politics & Religion

By Tom Quiner

Barack Obama was an affirmative-action president.

He had a thin resumé and mysterious past. But he was Black and cool, or as Joe Biden clumsily said, “clean.”

The mainstream media (MSM) went all in for him, pointedly downplaying his resumé and mysterious past at the same time they dug into Sara Palin’s, and later Mitt Romney’s, for any dirt they could find. The media bias was unprecedented.

It had an impact on the Republicans.

Knowing that the media had his back, Obama was brazen in his trampling of the Constitution. For example, he refused to comply with the War Powers Act when bombing Libya.

He refused to enforce Congressional provisions in Obamacare because he didn’t like them.

He forced Universities to ignore Constitutionally-enacted procedural protections in the case of sexual assault allegations.

He casually brushed aside the IRS scandal and didn’t indict anyone.

He trampled on bankruptcy…
