Banners Forward

I just read an interesting article today http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/jan/09012602.html .
To sum it up, it discussed the importance of Internet and the lack of pro-life coverage in the main stream media. One of the points brought forward, was that anyone can get the message out.
Certainly not all blogs should be taken as fact, but neither should mainstream media be believed without reservations. Example: My co-worker was listening to the presidential inauguration on National Public Radio. He stopped by the office and saw us watching it on the internet live. As the camera panned the crowd, my co-worker exclaimed, "NPR said the crowd was 98% black and 2% white people! It sure doesn't look like it."
Not at all. The cameras were moving through the entire crowd; through the people up on the steps, to those seated and the ones further out in the streets. The people were a large mix of all ethnicity's.

So I would like to bring an interview with Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi forward:

"STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government. "

You can find the interview here: http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/Story?id=6725512&page=2

We all know that in the current administration, "family planning" means money to Planned Parenthood and company. In other words, this means that the "services" reduce children. This makes no sense. If we cut children out of the the picture, we lose all the jobs they create; hospitals, schools, daycare, etc. We lose people who could be taxpayers, consumers, officals, entertainers, the list goes on! Who does Pelosi think she is fooling?!
