From the blogs and elsewhere:
… received a “deluge” of as many as 2.25 million red envelopes symbolizing the empty promise of lives snuffed out in abortion….
Similar measures had been rejected in the past 4 years. The bill now moves to the Senate.
Clinton gave her acceptance speech immediately after a visit to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, where she “presented a bouquet of flowers on behalf of the American people.”Admiring a eugenicist and venerating the Virgin Mary all in less than a day – what a busy lady. (I think all the contradictions would keep me occupied!)
Rep. Chris Smith, a NJ Republican, brought the inconsistencies to light in Congress:
On the one hand, the miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe has for 5 centuries brought a message of hope, faith, peace, reconciliation and protection for the weakest, most vulnerable among us. On the other hand, each year… Sanger’s PP kills… 300,000 unborn baby girls and boys in their abortion clinics scattered throughout the US.
This law directly affects the state’s Supreme Court case of a 14-year-old girl whose baby was fathered by her 21-year-old soccer coach. Her parents have “alleged Planned Parenthood failed to obtain their consent for the abortion.” Lawyers of the family are seeking “10 years’ worth of hundreds of minors’ medical records, abuse reports and statistics.”
Councils for both PP and the 14 year-old Jane Doe have been asked to file written reports of how the new law changes their cases.

“one private prenatal…in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of her pregnancy.”
What is a private prenatal?
*sigh* I wish the Clintons would just go away!
In the ND bill, does abortion count under “prenatal care”? I wouldn’t be surprised if it does.
I wonder if the “one private prenatal…in the 2nd or 3rd trimester” is being included to leave an opening for abortion, despite the parental consent law.
Here’s how: liberal judges. Parental consent can be skirted if a judge agrees the girl should be permitted to go ahead without parental consent. In that case, a girl beyond her first trimester of pregnancy could still get an abortion without the need to ask her parents for money (2nd & 3rd trimester abortions are more expensive than 1st trimester abortions), as well as without needing their consent.
I’ve never heard of Rep Chris Smith before, but he delivered a great speech! If only more politicians had his courage.
Albeit, we would all prefer that adolescents asked spoke with their parents about their pregnancy, it’s great that they have more options and alternatives to abortion. I hope that some of that care that they are receiving covers counselors, in case the girl is afraid to tell her parents; a counselor can be quite soothing, I imagine, especially if they stand next to you when you break the news to your mom and dad. Good for North Dakota!
Jeremiah,
What is a private prenatal?
“One private prenatal visit is also allowed when the teenager is in the second or third trimester of her pregnancy.”
The acceptance of Hillary Clinton despite her duplicity and double-mindedness are symptomatic of a world which no longer can distinguish between good and evil.
The results are a whole population of weak minded people who can be persuaded of anything as in the blind leading the blind.
We are witnessing the fruits of the seeds of humanism and moral relativism that were sown over the last 200 years. This is the danger that results when the absolute truth of God’s word is abandoned and exchanged for a lie.
HisMan,
Amen.
“The acceptance of Hillary Clinton despite her duplicity and double-mindedness are symptomatic of a world which no longer can distinguish between good and evil.”
We can distinguish, we’re just re-evaluating…
The Red Envelope project will help delay the bankruptcy of the Postal service. Millions of first class stamps. They discount junk mail too much. Should they down size the USPS directors pay of 800,000 to more economy appropriate numbers?
Jill, hope you are reading this!
I ***HOPE*** to be finished with the documentary by the end of Easter holiday. I only need a few hours to do touch ups, and then I need to get the screenplay from the writer and do the narration and edit around that somewhat. After that, it will be done and ready to be “released.”
I remember you had stated a while ago (school + old computer= fail, that’s why it wasn’t released over Christmas break) that you would be willing to post the video along with a short article. If you are still cool with it, I’ll shoot it to you via e-mail when I’m done :)
Hi Hal,
Did you have a reaction to the “Alfie” clip on the other thread? Just curious.
PIP,
Congratulations! You’re almost finished! :)
xppc,
“The Red Envelope project will help delay the bankruptcy of the Postal service. Millions of first class stamps. They discount junk mail too much. Should they down size the USPS directors pay of 800,000 to more economy appropriate numbers?”
What if the Federal Government were to privatize the U.S.Post Office? Sell it to Fed Ex, for example. It would be one less thing that the government would have to concern itself with and service would improve.
Hooray! I can’t wait to see your documentary.
Just curious, did anyone send a red envelope to the White House? I sent two. :)
FYI,
The Red Envelope Project will continue beyond March 31, 2009. It has been renamed the LIFE Envelope Project to avoid a potential trademark problem.
You now have the option to send white, pink or blue envelopes to make it more convenient if you don’t have a red envelope to mail. They are recommending that you include your return address on your envelope.
For more info, go to:

Please consider taking part in this campaign!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’m 100% sure that all of those red envelopes got thrown into the trash by staff in the White House mailroom. I would be very surprised if even one of those envelopes actually got to Obama.
I agree with JivinJ about the red envelopes:
http://jivinjehoshaphat.blogspot.com/2009/04/red-envelop-project.html
Pro-lifers spent nearly one million dollars to send junk mail to the President. Couldn’t we have given that money to a CPC or something? If we really want to draw attention, we should buy a commercial spot during American Idol….
The envelopes didn’t have to “get to Obama.” He no doubt knows about them and how many were sent.
Besides that, Obama’s not the only person working in the White House. There are mail clerks and others who do various jobs, and perhaps the project made a difference in their perspectives. Who knows? I don’t believe that the idea was without merit.
Naaman,
How are you so sure? I believe it is a federal crime to tamper with the mail…..
Nevertheless, the campaign is making the news, and surely Obama has heard about it and could imagine what 2.5 million letters look like.
As far as anyone telling me how I should spend my money….it’s my CHOICE. I support the CPC’s too.
Kel,
Oops. I should have refreshed my screen before posting my comment. Great minds think alike. LOL. :)
What if everyone who sent a red envelope joined 40 Days for Life offering help to women and praying in front of abortion mills or volunteering at a CPC? Just thinking out loud.
Carla,
That’s a great idea. This week, being Holy Week, would be an especially good time for us to make that commitment.
Blessings to all for a holy, happy Easter!
Carla, Your post reminded me that there will be a special prayer service at the Planned Parenthood in Aurora, IL on Good Friday at 3:00 PM.
http://familiesagainstplannedparenthood.org/act.php#20090410
Fr. Cesar Pajarillo of St. Rita Parish in Aurora will lead the Way of the Cross for Victims of Abortion at Planned Parenthood Aurora (map) on Good Friday afternoon at 3 p.m.
Faithful of all denominations are encouraged to attend this Scriptural reflection on our Savior’s sacrifice. We will gather on the sidewalk on Oakhurst adjacent to the Planned Parenthood site.
What a witness for LIFE this will be!
I will be at the Good Friday Prayer Vigil in St. Paul, MN!! Outside PP with my Silent No More MN buddies. :)
I am just repeating what Brian Gibson from Prolife Action Ministries wrote in an article. He mentioned if a 2 year olds life were in danger would we send emails or envelopes? We would act. It just got me thinking that it is time to act!!

It’s funny that you try to make Hillary Clinton out to be this evil woman for accepting an award from PP – The “Margret Sanger” award… as if Margret Sanger was so horrible.
Give it up – The freaking pope was a member of the Hitler Youth in his teens, and you’re worried about Hillary Cinton. No nazi analogies need be made for Papa Razzi …he was an actual Nazi. And given his tolerance for holocaust deniers, one has to wonder how far the present falls from the past.
