/*[*** PFLI note: the numbers below are an intentional underreporting by 
IPPF since they do not calculate all the chemical abortions they 
dispense over the course of a year via means of so-called oral 
"contraceptives", Depo-Provera, Norplant (and similar progestin 
implants), IUDs, etc. We realize many pro-lifers are skittish to call a 
chemical abortion what it is, worrying what the secular world will think 
of them. We harbor no such fears, worries or concerns.  They all result 
in what has been scientifically and morally ascertained as preborn human 
deaths ***]*/

*IPPF abortion numbers*

The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) recently released 
its Annual Performance Report 2008 -- 2009. It is a comprehensive report 
addressing the activities of IPPF in 170 countries around the world, 
including the United States. A full copy of the report can be read here 
<http://ss.all.org/link.php?M=110638&N=576&L=4046&F=H>.

The report documents the ever expanding abortion business of Planned 
Parenthood and specifically states its desire to increase the number of 
abortions it does around the world.

There is currently circulating, in the pro-life community, reports on 
the number of abortions claimed in the IPPF document. Most of the 
reports are that the IPPF stated that it provided over 1 million 
"abortion services" in 2008. That is correct. However, at least one 
pro-life news source reported this as IPPF doing over 1 million 
abortions. That is NOT correct.

In its service report, IPPF lumped all the following together to get to 
the 1 million (actually, 1,134,539) abortion services:

Pre-abortion counseling
Surgical abortions
Post-abortion counseling
Medical abortions
Post-abortion care
Abortion consultation/diagnostics
Referrals to external abortion services

The actual number of abortions (surgical and medical) reported by IPPF was:
Surgical abortions ---- 363,089
*Medical [chemical/drug] abortions ----   90,035*

*Total abortions: 453,124*

While this is absolutely horrible, it is less than half of the 1 million 
number.

Also, remember that the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is part 
of IPPF. Thus, although most of these abortions (300,000+) are done 
right here in the United States, we need to recognize that IPPF is 
beginning to expand abortion throughout the world.

*Court Hearing to Decide Personhood Initiative Fate Held Today in Carson 
City*

CARSON CITY, NV, Jan. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- The ACLU has joined 
forces with abortion giant Planned Parenthood to stop the initiative 
process of Nevada citizens. The simple, one sentence amendment reads: 
"In the great state of Nevada, the term 'person' applies to every human 
being."

The hearing on this matter, in the First Judicial District Court of the 
State of Nevada, will take place at 9 a.m. Friday morning, January 8, 
2010 in Carson City, the state's capitol.

Personhood Nevada is a citizen-led initiative to amend the Constitution 
of the State of Nevada.

Olaf Vancura, PhD, President of Personhood Nevada, stated "The right to 
live is God-given and the most precious of all civil rights," stated 
Olaf Vancura, PhD, President of Personhood Nevada. "Absent government 
leadership in protecting our most vulnerable persons, we the people are 
expressing our 1st Amendment rights with this historic civil rights 
initiative."

On November 12, 2009, the ACLU and billion-dollar- per-year abortion 
profiteer Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit challenging the amendment 
wording and summary. Similar legal challenges have been dismissed in 
other states attempting Personhood initiatives.

In commenting on the legal challenge, Vancura continued, "The abortion 
lobby's plan is clear -- delay, delay, delay. They are trying to run out 
the clock so that Nevadans cannot vote on this historic civil rights 
initiative. Their notion that this proposed Amendment violates the 
single-subject rule is absurd. This initiative is the epitome of a 
single subject. The last citizen-led initiative to successfully amend 
the Nevada constitution comprised over 400 words. Our proposed Amendment 
has only 14 words, the first 6 of which affirm that Nevada is a great 
state, the remaining 8 of which clarify 'the term person applies to 
every human being.' The Personhood Nevada language is simple enough that 
a child could explain it to an attorney."

Today's hearing will determine whether the citizen-led initiative can 
continue.
