Page 1 August 2015 THE PREGNANCY SUPPORT GROUP OF WOODLAND Committed to Providing Positive Alternatives to Abortion Reaction By Carol Duty, PSG Director A reaction is a response to something that involves taking action, or an action taken in response to something (as defined by Encarta dictionary). I know that you know this. However, what you may not know or have been paying attention to is the stalwart reactions shown by our elected officials to the weeks of revelation regarding Planned Parenthood’s selling of fetal body parts. I have often assumed that if someone was aware of a bad thing they would do something about it; they would be as aghast as I was about it and that our reactions would be the same thereby creating strength of more than one to change a situation to work out to a better end. I have clearly been wrong on many occasions and certainly with this most recent assumption. I assumed that these obvious atrocities performed by Planned Parenthood would provoke a shock to even the most liberal of minds and that good things would happen – something would get done about it. Again, I was wrong…so as I pondered why there would be a blanket of blindness laid over the eyes of those in power, my mind makes a correlation to the “wise little monkeys”. Originating in China in the 8th century, these little monkeys created by Confucius have even permeated our 21st century culture. We see the little statues with hands over their eyes, hands over their mouths, and hands over their ears. Their statements are made to say, “Look not to what is contrary to society”, “Listen not to what is contrary to society”, and “Speak not to what is contrary to society”. Sounds like a great idea, right? Well, besides the fact that God said it in His Word first, it is a good idea. We will get to what God said in a moment. Inside the August 2015 First, we have to see how our Western culture has made this into a modern day issue of Life Support mantra… Reaction ............................ 1 “What you see here” “What you hear here” “What you say here” When you leave here, let it stay here… Story continued on page 2…………………………………………………….

This is what my mind ponders when I see the reaction of our politicians to the horrific news of the actions of Planned Parenthood. Over the years, I have witnessed just plain bad decisions of our court systems and government, and some of the decisions have been jaw dropping. How could it be that there are political powers actually defending the actions of Planned Parenthood and not denouncing them? To actually cover their eyes to the horrific pictures, cover their ears to the haughty confessions heard on tape of high officials arrogantly bragging about what they do and then standing up in our public square and speaking about the greatness of Planned Parenthood July 2015 and even rewarding its actions. It is reprehensible. Statistics NEW CLIENTS 14 BIRTHS 6 BIBLE STUDY 3 BABY ITEMS 451 NEW CRIBS EARNED DIAPERS SPIRITUAL GROWTH 3 1040 60 Praise God for the privilege of serving Him through PSG! We are in no way a political machine here at Pregnancy Support Group. But, let it be known that every politician from our president to those closely surrounding him and even some of the presidential hopefuls, such as Hilary Clinton, have poised themselves in defense of the actions of Planned Parenthood. They have done so in their own words, (see this from Obama’s spokesperson http://www.lifenews.com/2015/07/20/obama-spokesman-onselling-aborted-baby-body-parts-we-will-not-defund-planned-parenthood/), or simply ignored it and continued business as usual (see http://www.lifenews.com/2015/07/15/hillary-clinton-ignores-plannedparenthood-selling-body-parts-of-aborted-babies/). Their clear intentions are to act as if these action are not what they look like. There are some that agree – we do not! No we are not political here at PSG. However, it is important for us to recognize those whom are so ingrained in this political system and feed from the same plate as those that make their money from such outrages so that we will not be the people that close our eyes, our ears, and our mouths to what is happening right in front of us. As a Christian, I do not look to Confucius for the truth. I look to the Word of God. When I read Psalm 119:37 (NAS), “Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity, and revive me in Your ways”, I know that we are not to look at such terrible actions and pretend that they are not happening. When I read Mathew 15:11 (NAS), “Hear and understand. It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man but what precedes out of the mouth this defiles Meet Carol Duty, the man.” We are not to speak those things that are not true as if by just PSG Director speaking them it makes evil things good. Finally, Proverbs 2:2 (NAS), “Make your ear attentive to wisdom; incline your heart to understanding.” We are to listen to wisdom and truth and be eager for our hearts to understand truth, not the lies that we are fed. In fact, if we spent time in the Word we would recognize them for the lies that they are. Story continued on page 3……………………………………………………. Page 3 Story continued from page 2……………………………………………………. Ultimately, we can see that Confucius was still aligning with society. And we know that a society that disregards the God of the universe will eventually fall into peril which we are witnessing with our very own eyes. Our one and only hope is in the Lord who is the same yesterday, today and forever and for this I am grateful. The message of hope that I wish to share, is that all of us at Pregnancy Support Group feel honored and blessed to be the hands and feet for God carrying the message to those in need, one person at a time. One at a time might not seem that big of a deal but, the love message from Jesus through our mouths, to the hearts of the hundreds of women we see in a year here at PSG, will go a long way in changing the hearts and minds of a future generation. We cannot get side tracked with those determined to pretend the evil is not evil. We know what God says about evil, and if we believe what God says about evil, then we should be driven to share the Good News to as many people as possible so that more and more people will be less likely to disregard God, and more likely to shield their ears from the falsehoods spoken by those being lead to the slaughter. A few last words of hope that we can take with us and share with others are from Isaiah 33:15,16 (NAS), “He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, He who rejects unjust gain and shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil; He will dwell on the heights, His refuge will be the impregnable rock; His bread will be given him, His water will be sure.” Volunteers Needed! Pregnancy Support Group will have a booth set up at the Yolo County Fair, Wednesday August 19th Sunday, August 23rd. We need people to volunteer at the booth for 3 or 4 (preferably 4) hour shifts. We even have parking passes that can float between volunteers. The booth needs to be staffed from 6 pm to 11 pm on Wednesday, 12 noon to 11 pm on Thursday through Saturday, and 12 noon to closing on Sunday. We have had many women change their minds about having an abortion after they got an ultrasound, saw an ultrasound, or just talked with us. Let us know if you would like to help and make a difference in the lives of women and their babies by calling the office at (530) 661-6333. Now a person that follows these words of truth would be someone trustworthy enough to lead this country! The Pregnancy Support Group would like to thank the following people: Cathy Oliver for her donation in memory of Jeffrey Gale Craig Sharp for his generous donation of a 26' Sea Ray 268 Sun Dancer with Trailer to financially benefit the ministry of PSG Lonnie & Connie Lee for their donation of household furnishings and other items for PSG to sell and financially benefit the Ultrasound Ministry portion of PSG Page 4 California Tea Party Declaration Though Pregnancy Support Group does not prescribe to and/or suggest agreement to any political party, it is nice to see that there is a group of people willing to stand up and say that what Planned Parenthood has done for a very long, long time and plans to continue to do unless forcefully stopped by our government, is wrong. This is the declaration by the Patriot’s Declaration to the Planned Parenthood Federation 2015 Whereas, the Declaration of Independence affirms that mankind is endowed with certain unalienable rights, among which are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness; Whereas, that Declaration has never been repealed and is subsumed into the Constitution of the United States of America; Whereas, Federal statutes exist, which proclaim that the extraction of conceived human life from a woman's body must meet proscribed laws and standards of medical practice; Whereas, the promotion, tolerance or conspiracy to violate the above by any organization, person or agency-including the Federal Government-is acting outside the principles of Nature, Nature's God and the rule of law within these United States of America; We, the California Tea Party Groups, condemn the documented actions of agents of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, who subvert this nation's Founding Principles, violate its laws and mock the cornerstones of human decency so ably established by the Declaration of Independence.
