Life Decisions International

There are many organizations that are part of the Pro-Life Movement and that fight the Culture of Death. Among these is Life Decisions International (LDI), a Pro-Life organization incorporated and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) charitable, nonprofit, education organization. LDI embraces a policy condemning the use of violence to achieve their goals. It expends its greatest efforts on exposing and opposing the agenda of Planned Parenthood, undeniably the world's number one promoter of legal abortion. LDI was founded by Patricia Pitkus Bainbridge, M.A., and Douglas R. Scott, dedicated members of the Pro-Life Movement for over 20 years. Patricia Bainbridge is Director of the Respect Life Office for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockford, Illinois. Douglass Scott, author and founder of the Corporate Funding Project, is the former Executive Director of National Right to Life Committee Inc.'s affiliates in Washington and Arizona. 

LDI administers projects that include:

1. Celebrating Chastity (gives information to teenagers and young adults recognizing their ability to choose the one path that is in their best interest)
2. Celebrity Watch (identifies public figures that support Planned Parenthood's agenda in whole or in part), 
3. Organization Watch (focuses on investigating and publishing the names of charitable entities that support abortion, sexual promiscuity, physician-assisted suicide, euthanasia, and/or nonconsensual experimentation on human beings), 
4. Community Action Project (provides proven strategies and tools to help citizens fight Planned Parenthood on the local level)
5. Corporate Funding Project (educates corporate officials about the agenda of PP and organizes boycotts of corporations that support PP. LDI publishes a list of boycott targets that includes corporate names, subsidiaries, products, services and how to contact each company.) 
6. Prayer Project (prays for adversaries of the Pro-Life Movement) 
7. Planned Parenthood Challenge (opposes Planned Parenthood at every level) 
8. Student Outreach (spreads the pro-life message on campuses).

Boycott Letters to Supporters of Planned Parenthood

Write a letter to the corporation that supports Planned Parenthood. Tell them:

Giving money to organizations that promote and provide abortion, even if the money is not used for that purpose, frees up other funds for abortion purposes and gives your stamp of approval to their abortion related activities. By funding Planned Parenthood, you unwittingly support everything they do. You are supporting the work of the abortion industry. Why are you funding Planned Parenthood, allowing them to benefit financially from your patrons who do not believe in what they do?

 

The words Planned Parenthood sound benign, but PP is, in fact, the largest promoter of abortion in the world. Smaller PP clinics that do not provide abortion "services" refer the woman to another abortion provider. PP in the USA gets about $100 million each year in federal funds alone. Our tax money pays for abortion.

Stats from ALL (American Life League): Updated February 5, 2008

Planned Parenthood’s income break-down for 2006-2007 fiscal year

• PP clinic income: $356.9 million
• PP Government grants and contracts: $336.7 million
• Total profit: $114.8 million
• Total income: $1.02 billion

2006 Planned Parenthood "service" numbers

• Number of abortions (medical and surgical): 289,750
• Total number of abortions per week: 5,572
• Adoption referrals: 2,410
• Ratio of adoption referrals to abortions: 1 per 120

2007 Planned Parenthood Annual Survey

• Total number of PP clinics: 855
• Total number of non-express clinics: 814
• Express clinics: 41
• Total number of PP clinics that perform surgical and/or medical abortions: 287
• Total number of affiliates: 108
• Number of clinics that started doing abortions in 2007: 55

According to Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life:

The clock is ticking . . . In the USA alone, 

• One baby is aborted every 26 seconds
• 137 babies are aborted every hour
• 3,304 babies are aborted every day
• 23,196 babies are aborted every week
• 100,516 babies are aborted every month

And the statistics could be higher because all numbers reported are voluntary; there are no laws requiring abortionists to report to any national agency the numbers of abortions they perform. 2005-2008 are estimates of 1,206,200 annually. The statistics are provided by the Alan Guttmacher Institute (a special affiliate to Planned Parenthood), which actively collects the abortion data directly from providers. 

National Right to Life compares AGI stats to indicates that the real figures could be worse than AGI reports since they are an affiliate of Planned Parenthood.
