Google Documents FAPP Presence at Planned Parenthood Aurora
Posted by Matt Yonke, June 16th, 2008
Two new finds on the web have documented the tenacity of Fox Valley Families’ prayer and counseling presence at Planned Parenthood Aurora.
First, proving that you can’t even think about Planned Parenthood Aurora without mentioning Fox Valley Families, the recently updated Google Maps “Street View” pictures clearly show two pro-lifers praying and counseling outside Planned Parenthood.
For those of you unfamiliar, on Google Maps, you can choose a “Street View” option that shows actual pictures taken on the ground of the street you’re looking at on the map. Just recently Google added this feature for the section of New York Street where Planned Parenthood resides. Sure enough, as clear as can be, there are two of our dedicated prayer warriors standing up for life.
Second, you can also now see the Planned Parenthood Aurora facility on Google Maps satellite view. Ever since the Planned Parenthood controversy erupted, all that’s been on satellite maps has been the empty lot that was there before. Now there is documented evidence of their presence in Aurora.
Planned Parenthood Chicago executive Steve Trombley predicted in the early days of this fiasco that after a month or so all the pro-lifers would go back to their regular day to day lives and let Planned Parenthood conduct their business unencumbered. Steve couldn’t have been more wrong, as these pictures illustrate so clearly. We are a permanent fixture at Planned Parenthood Aurora.
As long as Planned Parenthood is killing babies, we will be there to stand up for their rights as human beings, to save them if we can, and stand as a living memorial to their value as people.
As long as Planned Parenthood is deceiving women, attempting to silence truth about the life in their wombs, and saddling women with a life of post-abortive depression and guilt, we will be there to help them, to offer alternatives to abortion and help with whatever they need. We stand as a testament to the value of life that Planned Parenthood is so eager to destroy.
So come be part of the historic effort. Join the Life Support prayer vigil at Planned Parenthood today. Prayer partners are needed, all you have to do is check the calendar by following the Life Support link at the top of this page, follow the simple directions, and join the fight to save unborn babies and their mothers from the pain of abortion, both here in Aurora and as far as Google Maps can be seen!

To the "Kathy" above:
I don't know who you are, or where you are coming from,
but teenagers engaging in premarital sexual relations is a very bad thing. Our increasingly immoral, or should I say "a-moral" (without morals) society, has completely sexualized women, especially young women, to the point that women and girls, and men and boys, are treated as "objects" of sexual gratification - by themselves, by their friends, by strangers, and especially by the media, which has perverted an entire generation or two or three, in its greed for profits.
When you simply look at the reason for natural sexual relations, from a purely biological and physiological point of view, you can say that sexual relations between a man and woman have two primary ends ("end" -as in the philosophical meaning): the procreation of children, and the uniting of the two individuals in the most intimate way conceivable.
Sexual relations are a very special human act because human beings are not simply engaged in "reproducing" as all other biological life does. We are not animals. We have the ability to reason, to think and reflect on our very existence and on the world in general.
All societies of peoples from the earliest recorded history have recognized the bond in which a man and a woman come together to form a partnership for life and begin a family. Why is that the case? Why shouldn't sex just be for fun and games, and occasionally for having a baby or two? Why should one man and one woman unite and stay together for the whole of their lives?
Would that hurt anybody? Wouldn't we all be happier?
Would chaos result? Would children be better off? Would society survive? Who would do the dishes, take out the garbage, change the diapers, help Suzy with her homework?
Just think about that for a while. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

You need to face the facts that no matter what you or anyone else says or does or even thinks,teens have sex.Therefore, wouldn,t it be better for them to be informed about their options rather then leave them hanging with a whole bunch of old fasioned nonsense?Sure it would be great if everyone got married had, sex, raised their children together, and then grew old together!But that is just not a realistic way of thinking.Check the divorce statistics.Check out how many dads have abandoned their families.I've been married twice, had one child out of wedlock,and now I live with a man who who shares my bed.Do you think that I won't use birth control?I have five grandchildren and they all have a different father.The first two I told her no to abortion because I was prepares to help her however the last three I told her she was on her own.Now one is in 1000 miles away with my sister-in-law one has been adopted and the last is due 10-12-08.I'm sure that was Gods plan."WHATEVER"You think about that!

Maybe it would be better to teach the children self respect, loyalty, and that all actions have consequences. We must be ready, willing, and able to handle those consequences. Take responsibility…murdering a baby is not responsibility.
The divorce statistics are such because few people take responsibility anymore and marriage is no longer sacred.
Our wants and desires are more important than doing what is right, or being in unity with fellow man.
I am sympathetic to your daughters choices, I made some poor choices in life as well, but God gave us the freedom to think, and if we make poor choices (by using a gift that was meant for good) at the wrong place or the wrong time, consequences are inevitable. They are good consequences when acted upon at the proper time, less desirable consequences when acted upon outside of its proper plan. Know that you are loved and I wish I could be of encouragement and help to you.
Blessings.

Kathy, why did that old fashion nonsense work pretty well before? There wasn't half the divorce, I never even heard of anyone killing their baby in the womb etc… I do believe the problem is the loss of love for God. Our country has turned its face away from God and His teachings. It is all about love, love for each other in the way God says. He knows best, and it very obvious, when we do the opposite of what God teaches us, all Hell breaks loose. It may seem hard to listen to God's rules, but when we do not, it is a whole lot harder. And God of course knows this, that is why He is the Greatest Teacher, and we as His people need to form our will with His. I guarantee families will live more in peace and harmony. But it will take alot of prayer now and humbling ourselves, and yes, practicing our obedience to God. And when we fail, don't give up, say we are sorry, try and correct the wrong we did and start fresh again. Life is a journey, it isn't always easy, but if we are faithful to God all will work out in the end. karen

Kathy,
I would recommend listening to all the talks on this webpage. If you don't have time to listen to all of them at the very least listen to the "Catholic High School Talk" and fast forward to the ONE HOUR mark and listen for 10-15 minutes. These talks are unbelievable and changing many teens views on sex whenever they are given.

Karen K,
The old fashioned system did NOT work well before. It's just that people didn't talk about its failures. Teenagers still had sex before marriage. It's just that there was a shotgun marriage if the girl got pregnant and most girls were married by age 18. And without divorce, many people were stuck in dead-end marriages. They still had abortions, but they either were back-alley of self-inflicted, which caused a lot of needless deaths of young (and older) women. But, of course, when that happened, the whole 'scandal' was hushed up and nobody talked about why the poor woman died. Or, perhaps an unplanned pregnancy meant that there was a trip to Europe for a professional abortion (for the rich ones) or a trip out of state to have her baby in shame (for the poor ones).
The only reason it appeared that everything worked before is that nobody actually talk about what didn't work. This is simple dishonesty and hypocrisy. Of course, you can go back further to times where the punishment for disobeying the 'rules' was being burned to death, or tortured as a witch, or, as in some societies today, killed by stoning. Sorry, I have no desire to go back to those times.

Michelle ,
It is unfortunate that you feel it's ok, for the children my daughter continues to have, to pay the consequences for her bad choices.Isn't that kind of, I don't know,a form of child abuse?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Dear professor,
Things were and are better when we follow God. And studies have shown that divorce is way more harmful to the children than the couple staying together in spite of their problems. Of course if there is abuse or real danger in the household, then it is better for there to be a separation from the situation. The problem is, today people do not seem to know how or even want to persevere. I think much of it is because we live in a world now where we consider anything that is too difficult a negative. We don't want to be bothered by anyone or anything. If things are not going the way we want, we think, well, I guess we were not suppose to be together, it's hopeless, etc… The attitude today seems that everything is so easily disposed of, (including life in the womb) Yes, there were marriages that we not the best, but you ask some of those people now in their old age who stayed married for 50+ years, and they will tell you that it helped them become stronger and learn to get along, learn to forgive. When they made a promise before God to love and honor that person for the rest of their life, they took that seriously, Now, I don't think a promise is hardly worth even a penny.
P.S. People always talked, that is human nature! But if they did not blast it all over the place that is because people had a healthy sense of right and wrong, and by doing so the evil was kept as just that, evil. Now wrong is thought of as right.
And making abortion legal did not make it moral. It is killing a life.

Kathy, Abortion is the ultimate form of child abuse. Two wrongs do not make a right. If your daughter is living an immoral lifestyle, unfortunately, yes, that does affect her children. But killing them is a way more terrible sin than her promiscuity. Just because a person may be born into a "bad situation" does not constitute killing them. We as humans innately are problem solvers, like I said before, where there is life there is hope.Always have hope for your daughter and her children. Teach them and show them the love of Jesus,pray with them and for them. With God all things are possible. A flower can grow in some of the worse conditions.

When the time comes as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I've often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God and a terror will rip through your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there will be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God, "Spare him because he loved us," and God will look at you and say not, "Did you succeed?" but "Did you try?"

One of our Presidential canidates thinks it is alright to let a born baby be put aside and left to die.
