One thing I’m thankful for today…
UPDATE 11/28, 10:50a: Two more. PPNM is now deleting comments almost as fast as pro-lifers post them – back at work after a weekend with their families. Carla has been catching them before they go…
UPDATE 11/28, 9:23a: Pro-lifers have been having fun with Planned Parenthood New Mexico’s November 23 Facebook update announcing it would be closed Thanksgiving Day and Friday. At present 54 have “liked” the fact PPNM took two days off from killing babies.
Moderator Carla got the idea to add a sage comment, which took several hours for the folks at PPNM to delete. Then they got vindictive and blocked Carla, boo hoo.
Unfortunately I didn’t think to save the screenshot of Carla’s wit, but I have been watching and saving others before PPNM aborted them…
11/24, 7:23a: If you’re on Facebook, go to Planned Parenthood New Mexico’s page and “like” its following status update. I’d love to see the count go very high. Click screenshot to enlarge (and you can’t “like” from the screenshot, you have to go to the link)….
So, yes, one thing I’m thankful for today is most U.S. abortion mills will be closed.
And hundreds if not thousands of moms contemplating abortion will spend time with families and friends and kids and babies and change their minds.
What a pleasant thought.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

im thankful for my life. my health. today i feel for those who dont have anybody. i always do on the holidays. now moving on to this planned parenthood……opened today? how sick. will there also be a christmas day opening with a discount? i pray that today women will reconsider any abortion appointments they may have scheduled for the coming week…..and i pray they will reconsider. planned barenhood……they are so sick and twisted. womens health? ha! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Please pray for the homeless woman that I see when taking walks by a certain train station. I recently learned that she has been homeless for about 35 years…she is now in her 70’s. I pray she will be receptive to going to Pacific Garden Mission for the winter for free meals, a bed and medical care. LL
Thankful for so many things but especially I am thankful for my pro-life mother who carried me selflessly in her womb, selflessly birthed me and selflessly cared for me as I grew. Today she is selflessly making the Thanksgiving feast too. ;-) I love my mom so much and I am so thankful for all the sacrifices she has made without complaint on my behalf.
wow laura loo…35 years??? thats a long time! we have bitter cold winters here in ohio and as luck would have it we have 0 snow! hoooooray! i detest snow. sadly many homeless people here also have mental illness and i have seen them laying out on the sidewalk.in sleeping bags. that was christmas eve of 04 when my boyfriend ( at the time ) took me downtown. it totally ruined my night and made it made me sick. we have so much money in this country yet we fail so many. its just so sad.
happy thanksgiving sydney…..eat lotsa good food for that baby!

Very well said, Laura Loo. My hopes are with her.
My grandmother is 100 years old today. Visited her in her nursing home yesterday and met some of her buddies, including the oldest living person in the world.
wow shogun….how old is that?
Thank you Heather & Shogun.
UPDATE: Praise God – I learned from an employee (owner?) at the newsstand across from the train station that the homeless woman left her cart and went to a motel. So she is out of the elements for a short while (which means she either has some sort of income or someone gave her money). Her poor face is so leathery and wrinkled from all those years of being homeless – it breaks my heart.
However, today I found a homeless man (same train station) waiting for the community center to open so he can have his warm meal.
Look around, the homeless are all around.
I am so thankful for God and the basics of life such as a home, a bed, heat and food this Thanksgiving Day.

“now moving on to this planned parenthood……opened today? how sick. will there also be a christmas day opening with a discount?”
No, Heather, the point is that they are closed today. Not open today and probably not open on Christmas.
Part of the reason for homelessness — especially among women — was the de-institutionalization of the mentally ill that became such a fad in the 1970s. Mentally ill were “liberated” so they could live in terror and deprivation on the streets.
De-institutionalization MIGHT have worked had there been enough funds put into halfway homes and other facilities. But as it was put into practice, it just shoved people who can’t cope onto the streets.
oh sorry elizabeth. i couldnt read it cuz i cant blow it up from my phone..it looked like it was opened. my bad.
I like it when prolifers point out, and probably everyone here has heard this already, that on Christmas Day, abortion clinics are closed…because we are honoring the birth of a child :)
well i hope all had a nice thanksgiving as i have spent the day on the couch with a terrible headcold. cant taste so good. anyway im glad when abortion clinics are closed because it may give the woman considering abortion one more day to reconsider. i remember that our local abortion clinic became very busy in march. just tons more women flocking in than usual. my pastor called it ” the valentines day rush.” sick!
Hi Elizabeth,
If you could please choose a moniker – either Elizabeth or Beth, as you’ve used this past week on other threads simultaneously – that would be appreciated and in line with the commenting rules of this blog.
Thanks!
I don’t belong to Facebook, but I did go to the PP page and saw Carla’s comment. AWESOME !!! Go see it before they remove it !
You GO Carla !
LOL
Hi Carla, Amen! LL <3
Hey All,
I know I’ve been M.I.A. for awhile–there’s A LOT going on in my life right now, mostly good, which is awesome, but it does mean I’m quite busy–I have been reading some of the posts the last couple of days, though, so I’m SEMI-up-to-date.
Saw Carla’s comment :-)
I had a good Thanksgiving and I hope everyone else did, too. God bless!
I know this is somewhat off topic, but I found this awesome video called “From Conception to Birth” that graphically shows the progression of human development in the womb and wanted to share it with you!

Aw! They took Carla’s comment down. Did anyone get screenshots? ;)
I did not.
Bummer.
Thinking they will be closed on Christmas Day and we can spread some more cheer! :)
Rats! I left PPNM’s FB page open on my computer but it automatically updated. Bummer! It was still great, Carla. Maybe repost and get a screen shot before they take it down again?
Lesson learned. I just saved a screen shot by pro-lifer Peg on PPNM’s FB page. This could get fun. We write a comment. They remove it.
I have been blocked from commenting. Boo hoo.
Blocked or not, your message was heard loud and clear !
They’re probably kicking themselves for allowing it to have stayed up as long as it did !
There’s 2 MORE on there right now from another ProLifer !!!
Yeah, I’m banned there now as well! **pout** I wish I knew what Carla wrote!
I think my was something like-
I am grateful that you aren’t killing babies or harming women on Thanksgiving Day!!
Proud to be banned!! :)
I don’t know how to do a screen shot but here is the latest comment up
Caroline Pilgrim so thankful no babies died while ya’ll were enjoying time with people in your life that GOT TO BE BORN.
LOVE!!
Hi Kel,
I have not used Beth at all on this site. That must be another person. Sorry!
added a comment… can’t wait to be banned too! :-)
i dont belong to facebook either. i guess the only freedom of speech is pro choice speech. do they leave pro aborton comments up? abortion is a huge issue. why cant we talk about it? they sure will let you talk about war. why not abortion?
Go Sydney!! :)
Elizabeth/Beth,
You do realize mods have access to IP numbers, yes? Anywhooo, pick a name and stick with it please and thank you.
You mean family that they have because they weren’t aborted? I spent Thanksgiving with my Mom who carried me in her womb and realized my life had value and that I didn’t deserve to be dismembered no matter what. I also spent Thanksgiving with my two sons, one of whom is still in my womb but is not a part of my body and also deserves the right to be born and to live!

PPNM is apparently now deleting almost as fast as pro-lifers post. Ah, that’s because they’re back at work after a long weekend with FAMILY and friends. Thanks for spotting and saving, Carla. Will add.
Well if they’re busy monitoring and deleting pro-life posts they have a little less time to push abortion on vulnerable women in crisis. :-)
ALL HANDS ON DECK, PP!!
Good grief.
Can you imagine what is going on in the office what with all of the girls that need “counseling” and “help” to abort their babies? AND ON TOP OF THAT to constantly be aborting comments on a facebook page??
Mondays are tough all over aren’t they??!!
heh heh
In 1949, there was no abortion, no birth control pills or IUD’s or contraceptives. My mother was 29 and pregnant with a diffacult and life threatening pregnancy. During delivery, she died and the baby died-all unneccesary. At the age of 6 I certainly had no say in the matter, but I would have preferred that her life mattered in that decision.
J-your mother’s life absolutely did count for something.
j brown…im sorry to hear that. youre mothers life did matter. god took her home.
J. Brown –
Yes, those were most likely senseless, needless deaths. And even moreso in this day and age, as occurrences like that are QUITE rare, and medical technology has advanced to a point that we can make every effort to save both patients rather than just killing one because it’s easier to deal with than actually giving both patients the respect and consideration they deserve as human beings. I am very sorry about your mother and sibling though. But at least your mother didn’t have to die knowing that she had instigated, caused, or was involved in the death of your sibling.
get em guys get em! oh isnt it just a choice? i will bet a comment about war would have staying power! if its just a choice why does it shake them up so? shake satan up today guys! make the devil mad!!!!!!!!
Hi Elizabeth –
As I did an IP check the other day, your IP appeared to belong to another Beth on the site who has posted on other threads. Perhaps I was mistaken.
Thanks.
It’s fine, honestly! Not a big deal! I was just really confused because I have never gone by Beth.
Thank you for checking!
