DES MOINES--MAY 17, 2010--Iowa Right to Life sounded the alarm back in September 2008 about Planned Parenthood’s deadly scheme in Iowa to be "first in the nation" to have walk-in abortions at all their locations, without a doctor on-site. IRTL was right. Planned Parenthood began rolling out dangerous RU-486 abortions (also known as "medication" or "chemical" abortions or "abortion pills")that year, to its locations with a doctor consulting only by webcam and releasing RU-486 abortion pills by a remote-controlled drawer.

 

DES MOINES—April 30, 2010—Iowa Right to Life has selected an experienced counselor and social media aficionado as its next Executive Director. "My number one priority will be to grow our grassroots base," said Jenifer Bowen, "Iowans are fired up in this election year."

DES MOINES—March 30, 2010—Iowa Right to Life has gone beyond baby steps in its annual Spring Book Sale. The four-day sale, which ran from March 23 to March 27, brought in $43,000! Proceeds will go to pregnancy centers and adoption agencies across Iowa to assist women in need with their pregnancies.

 

Des Moines, IA--Kim Lehman, President of Iowa Right to Life, is leaving to take a new position with the John Paul II Stem Cell Research Institute in Iowa City. www.jp2sri.org

Lehman is transitioning this week to John Paul II Stem Cell Research Institute (JP2SRI) and will be responsible in helping the non-profit fulfill its mission in advancing adult stem cell research while promoting medical ethics in regenerative medicine. The organization is focused on finding cures to diseases like cancer, diabetes and rare diseases that plague so many people.

It's time to dig out that Pro-life T-shirt for this coming Tuesday's Pro-Life T-Shirt Day.  Along with the t-shirt, you could have available a pro-life brochure on the development of the baby or even a card with a list of maternity homes and pregnancy centers.

What if all laws designed to reduce abortions in the United States, including parental consent and notification laws, the ban on Partial Birth Abortion, informed consent laws, restrictions on tax funded abortions and more were wiped out in one fell swoop?  This is what the the Freedom of Choice Act, now being considered by Congress would do.

 

 

Help us spread the word!  Distribute copies of this flyer to your family, neighbors, friends and church.

Planned Parenthood is now offering no appointment, walk-in abortions at its clinics without a physician on site. How will they do this? By offering dangerous RU 486 chemical abortions at all of their locations, with a Des Moines-based abortionist consulting by webcam.
