Amazing Grace Home donation
We were the recipient of a $6,835 from a donor whose relative had passed away. The gift was undesignated, so I put $3,000 towards the Amazing Grace Home and the rest for general fund.
What a way to end the year! We have been so blessed this year, and I am overwhelmed by all that the Lord has allowed us to experience.

40 Days for Life Twin Cities
Wednesday, September 22 - Sunday, October 31
Coordinated by Pro-Life Action Ministries at HealthPartners' Regions Hospital, 640 Jackson Street, Saint Paul MN 55101. HealthPartners' Regions Hospital committed almost 700 abortions last year in its "GYN Special Services" unit. Regions is unusual because it has a self-contained abortion unit within the hospital. That's why many individuals, churches, and community organizations have committed to pray and fast at the hospital in peaceful vigil for the end of abortion at Regions and the Twin Cities region. Join Pro-Life Action Ministries and be a part of the world-wide 40 Days for Life movement along with over 307 cities, in all 50 states, 6 Canadian provinces, and communities in Northern Ireland and Denmark for the world's largest coordinated movement to pray for the end of abortion. This is not a Catholic issue; this is a LIFE ISSUE! Please pray and do what you can to help end abortion in our communities.

Pro-Life Movement on Fire in the States
from The Washington Flyer
While the abortion debate seems to be fading from the national platform, several states have taken on the fight to protect the unborn. Alaska made history this past week after voters passed a parental notification law, mandating a minor notify her parents before an abortion is administered. This marked the first time in history a parental notification law was passed by voters and not by the state’s legislature. The measure passed with 55% of the vote.
Alaska is not the only state turning to voters rather than its legislature to ensure protections for life. Colorado has also begun a massive campaign to urge voters to support a personhood amendment to the state’s constitution. The amendment defines a “person” as any human being beginning at conception through natural death. In order to garner support, a website dedicated to the ballot initiative MyCampaignTracker.org was created and designed to “encourage the grassroots personhood movement in Colorado” and “to reach local communities across our state with our campaign message of ‘Persons not Property,’ through November’s election.” The campaign has seen overwhelming support from pro-lifers in the state as well as from many candidates seeking election.
South Carolina and Virginia have also been supportive of the pro-life movement. South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford signed into law H3245, a bill that would require a 24-hour waiting period for a woman seeking an abortion and would require that the doctor offer the woman an opportunity to look at an ultrasound of the child before an abortion. In Virginia, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli stated this week that abortion clinics will now be legally regulated just as any other medical establishment. Brian J. Gottstein, a spokesman for Mr. Cuccinelli stated, “The state has long regulated outpatient surgical facilities and personnel to ensure a certain level of protection for patients. There is no reason to hold facilities providing abortion services to any lesser standard for their patients. Even pharmacies, funeral homes and veterinary clinics are regulated by the state.”
While the economy and jobs have dominated the federal debate, the pro-life movement continues to gain support among constituents at the state level, winning major victories throughout the nation.

Fraudulent Billing by Planned Parenthood
On Friday, the New Jersey Right to Life released three separate audits conducted by the U.S. Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, which show that state Planned Parenthood providers have been over-billing the federal government. The audits, conducted between 2001 and 2005, found that nearly $3 million should have been refunded to the government. Clinics improperly billed everything from prescription medications to outpatient services. [CitizenLink.com, 8-19-2010]
Comment:
I find it so interesting that when Planned Parenthood “serves” women that they charge them, their insurance, or the government for their services. MWC and hundreds of pregnancy care centers around the country serve women and their families for FREE. There is no “profit motive” at pregnancy care centers. We are motivated by a love for those we serve, a sense of urgency to protect the lives of the unborn, and a passion to see individuals come to know the Lord in a personal way. Check out www.frc.org to see the first ever report that attempts to assess the good work that is being done by hundreds of pregnancy resource centers in the US and around the world.
This report can also be useful in correcting the attacks on PRCs by organizations like NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League), as they attempt to create negative impressions about pregnancy resource centers. See http://www.fwhc.org/abortion/fake.htm.
I am sure that not every Center is perfect but serving women and men in crisis with integrity and love is at the heart of Metro Women’s Center and other centers like ours.
