1 of Those Times I am Not Proud to be an Iowa Boy
Not when American Life League's Wednesday STOPP Report starts off with the following headline:
Planned Parenthood is going to move into a new center in Dubuque, Iowa, as confirmed by Jenifer Vick, director of development and communications of Cedar Rapids-based Planned Parenthood of East Central Iowa to the Telegraph Herald newspaper. However, that is all the information that Vick would divulge: "We have not opened our doors, so we are not confirming any time line or location. Until we are prepared to open our doors, that won't be happening." Planned Parenthood is obviously continuing its pattern of being tight-lipped and secretive.
Steven Brody, of Dubuque County Right to Life, says that this is just an invitation for the pro-life movement to become more active in its fight against Planned Parenthood: "We have to continue to educate the community about Planned Parenthood – who they are, what they are and what their agenda is." Brody also points out that abortion is not the only evil that Planned Parenthood sells: "They have an agenda to target children, to have them have sex as early as they can get them to."
This is the second time that Planned Parenthood has tried to move a facility into Dubuque. The first attempt was in 1990, when it announced that by January 1992, Planned Parenthood would be moving into Dubuque and opening a facility that would not be committing abortions. However, the pro-life movement sought to stop Planned Parenthood and held a "Protect Our City from Planned Parenthood" prayer rally at Louis Murphy Park. Planned Parenthood announced in 1992 that budget cuts would not allow them to move in as planned. Brody and many others believe that the real reason was because of overwhelming opposition, and they are ready to rally opposition again if Planned Parenthood continues with its plans to move into their community.

Please keep us in your prayers. PP will use all of its tricks, no matter how dirty, if it has to to open an office in DBQ. We are doing what we can, but as I have said before, prayer is the key. Ultimately this IS a spiritual battle. Esp pray that Archbishop Hanus will speak out. Sadly, he has been silent so far.
