Infowars has a great piece on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and their support for, among other things, population control. Go read the article there as they pretty much cover it. AIW has been critical of BMGF in the past and don't see any reason to stop now. Bill's father, Bill Gates, Sr. is a former board member of Planned Parenthood of Western Washington.  The BMGF is rumored to have

Well it's about time. Planned Parenthood never even provided mamograms to women according to undercover audio recorded by Live Action. Furthermore, Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest, one of the recipients of Komen money in the past, doesn't need the money. They have $36 million in the bank (according to their 2006 tax filings). Planned Parenthood of Central Washington has $7 million in

...Oh, and making sure a two year old can balance on one foot briefly. That's the gist of what's in HB 2448. Here's what Research Mom says about the bill: HB 2448 will create and fund the complete takeover of childcare from pre-birth to age five, at which time mandatory Kindergarten takes place.

We just received very good news that the Everett 40 Days for Life team will hold a Spring 2012 vigil outside the Everett Planned Parenthood on 32nds and Hoyt. Here's part of the email we just got from the Campaign: Dear Prayerful Supporters of Everett 40 Days for Life: I hope this email finds you well.  Thanks to many of your encouragements and continued support we will continue our efforts

"It is a shame that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." --Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta Today we mourn the millions of babies who were killed by abortion throughout the United States, but most especially here in Washington State. It's also a shame that all those women who chose abortion had no one to help them, to walk beside them. No one to show them a different, better way

In the last year or so we've finally witnessed serious discussions at the national level, if not here in Washington, over cutting funding to the most repulsive organization in America, Planned Parenthood. PP has tried to draw attention away from their primary reason for existence, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of babies every year, and the millions of dollars they make from doing that. They

The pro-abortion, anti-woman group Seattle Clinic Defense slept through their August protest today after the Helpers of God's Precious Infants got an early 7:00 am start. Here's a report from the Helpers: "Our vigil went really well. Peaceful and Prayerful. About 10 minutes before we finished the protestors showed up and as they began to line up with all their signs etc. we began walking back.

A new group calling itself "Seattle Clinic Defense" is organizing monthly demonstrations to counter the pro-life vigils and encourage women to continue with their abortion plans. The Helpers of God's Precious Infants, which helped to shut down the Aradia clinic on Capitol Hill a few years ago, organizes vigils at the Madison St. Planned Parenthood. These vigils are not organized by the Knights of

It was just announced that Washington's senator and guardian of Planned Parenthood's privileged position, Patty Murray has been assigned to the Super Committee. Her job will no doubt be to make sure no cuts are made to PP's federal largesse in upcoming talks over budget cuts.

Another post for the "We told you so file."Plan B was a racket from the beginning. Don Downing, UW professor of pharmacy and bed partner with NARAL Washington, couldn't stop blathering about "a second chance at preventing pregnancy" and lowering the abortion rate.

A new study shows that OC use by teens can reduce a woman's bone density. It also notes that "[c]hanges in bone density in oral contraceptive users depends on age and hormone dose." This is especially important information for teen users of OCs.

Hey Everyone, We're going back out to the street corners once again this Saturday, June 11th between 2:30pm and 4pm to shed light on the intentionally vague mantra: "Freedom of Choice".  We meet in the north-west corner of the Northgate Mall parking lot by the Stanford's restaurant.  When we let society dream about how nice it is to have "reproductive choices", injustice rules and babies die.

It's been predicted for years now that AG Rob McKenna (R) was planning to run for governor. He's a Catholic and a Republican. He's also "pro-choice". His support for abortion is usually painted as support for women. After all, dead babies don't vote or contribute funds to political campaigns.

Here at AIW we've been watching the Rep. Anthony Weiner scandal with detached interest. We really can't understand what all the fuss is about. Rep. Weiner is a pro-abortion, pro-contraception, pro-Planned Parenthood, pro-homosexual, pro-divorce, pro-pornography, pro-prostitution, pro-fornication member of congress. He thinks that way so of course he's going to act that way like so many others

The Washington state House and Senate voted to increase funding for Take Charge Program. The bill will make the state's "Take Charge" family-planning program available to families earning 250 percent or less of the federal poverty level. Currently, it is available only to families earning 200 percent or less of federal poverty levels. From what we read in the Kitsap Sun article the debate was

The 40 Days for Life Campaign wrapped up this past Sunday, April 17th. The Washington state campaigns were all very successful with several babies and moms saved. At least two were saved at the Everett site, at least one or two at Cedar River Clinic in Renton, probably several at Tacoma due to closures.

Many of you saw and listened to the 911 audio of the March 18 call from "Pamela" of the Planned Parenthood in Everett procuring an ambulance to rescue a patient who was bleeding uncontrollably and needed to be rushed to hospital.

Our friends at Operation Rescue have made this comment on their web site and blog, "The abortion movement is failing and the industry is imploding." Other commentators have made similar pronouncements and many see the end of abortion as a very real possibility in the near future. We certainly see signs of an implosion here in Washington but aren't willing to let our guard down. Here's what we

As the national debate over ending government funding of Planned Parenthood assumes center stage, a move which we at AIW have been encouraging for several years, the abortion chain insists through its surrogates throughout the mainstream media that even though they're the country's largest perpetrator of premeditated murders in the form of abortion, their real interest and focus is on prevention.

We've written about and led the charge against the Take Charge "Family Planning" program for years. It is basically a decade old program which funnels millions of taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood affiliates of Washington in a way that makes everybody say, "Look, we are helping to decrease the need for abortion."

Our reporter and several 40 Days for Life witnesses saw a woman being evacuated by stretcher from the Planned Parenthood in Everett, Washington, and taken away by ambulance.

Just as Congress is trying to end federal funding to Planned Parenthood across the nation comes revelations that the Planned Parenthood affiliate in Central Washington has apparently been hiring unlicensed nurses.

As the Seattle City Council considers doubling the Education Levy used to fund in-school "health clinics", they are coming under fire from parents and activists for continuing to undermine parental authority because of their role in secretly putting girls on birth control and even helping setup abortions behind the parents' backs.

We found somewhere in Washington State law which recognizes the unborn child as a separate and unique person under the law. As most people know, in America if you are poor and need medical attention, you can apply for the Medicaid program. It turns out that the government not only uses your income to determine if you qualify for the benefits, but also your family size. That makes sense: the same

40 Days for Life started on March 9th this Spring and already it's been quite a campaign. I've been praying at three locations: Everett, Northgate (North Seattle), and Kenmore (not an official 40 Days for Life site). My first day out was last Thursday the 10th at the Northgate site. I hadn't been there long when a young woman assaulted us. She kicked our signs out into the street, tried to

This week brought us a stomach-churning story from Centralia, Washington. According to reports, a troubled mother gave birth prematurely at home to a 21-week-old baby and then cut the baby's head off with a serrated kitchen knife. The state is charging the mother with murder. The disturbing irony of this case, that media reports have somehow failed to observe, is that in Washington State

The commonwealth of Virginia just passed historic legislation that many abortion clinics have said might force them to close. What sort of radical new law is this? Some kind of abortion ban? Actually, no. The new law simply requires “facilities in which five or more first-trimester abortions per month are performed” to now abide by some of the same regulations as “hospital facilities.”

As most readers are now aware, Monday evening was the deadline for this session to pass bills out of the "House of origin", and HB1366, the bill created and pushed by the Washington State abortion industry to shut down pro-life pregnancy centers, was abandoned by the Democratic leadership. So the bill is dead. Pro-lifers are celebrating. What seemed almost impossible 24 hours earlier was

With a vote on HB1366 imminent in the Olympia House of Representatives, some Democrat politicians supporting the bill still seem to be trying to get away with outright deceptions with their constituents. Take Larry Springer for example. Springer represents the 45th district, which covers some parts of Kirkland and Redmond, plus a range of rural King County including Duvall and Carnation. His

Pro-lifers across the state were alarmed today to find out that Democrat House Speaker Frank Chopp decided to go ahead and let the massively controversial legislation to shut down the state's pregnancy centers out of the Rules Committee. HB1366 is now headed for a floor vote in the House. If it passes, it will then go to the Senate. There had been hope that Mr. Chopp would keep the bill bottled

We have recently uncovered yet another reason why we call this "The Abortion State". As if it wasn't enough to have unlimited and unregulated abortion on demand at taxpayers' expense; as if it wasn't enough to have high school girls being whisked away from school to abortion clinics with government-paid taxi rides, without their parents ever learning about it, all with state approval. As if it

Senator Patty Murray (looking a little surprised and confused ... not surprisingly) Washington State's two leftist 'lady' Senators never seem to miss an opportunity to be on the most extreme position of any issue. Despite a $14 trillion debt and $1.6 trillion deficit, Senators Murray and Cantwell today voiced their opposition to Republican attempts to try to find even a few hundred million

The post was about the arrest of pro-abortion activist Theodore Shulman, who has been threatening pro-lifers across the country for several years now.

Yes, the Abortionssociated Press, in conjunction with the Seattle Times! Finally the western Washington media cottoned on to the fact that there was a major political battle going on in Olympia and wrote a story about HB1366, the bill to destroy Washington State pregnancy centers on behalf of the abortion industry.

While Washingtonians watch in shock as their leftist state politicians go on an ideological bender, on the Congressional front, they are as close as they have ever been to seeing Planned Parenthood stripped of federal funding. Indiana Congressman Mike Pence has an amendment to the federal budget that would prohibit tax dollars going to the country's largest abortion chain. The legislation this

With the Senate Health Committee's inaction on the bill to shut down pro-life pregnancy centers across the state for two weeks, some in the pro-life community had become hopeful that the bill might be dead. But we have just learned that Sen. Kaiser, the committee chair, has scheduled the bill (SB 5274) for an executive session in the Senate Health and Long-Term Care Committee on Monday, February

We recently caught up with Washington State Representative Mary Helen Roberts. Roberts is a co-sponsor of HB1366, and a former employee of Planned Parenthood. But after "hearing from many of her constituents" on the bill which would effectively destroy the 57 crisis pregnancy centers in Washington state which help 62,000 women every year, and increase the number of abortions, Roberts has

While some Democrats are responding to educational efforts and democratic pressure from constituents on HB1366, the bill that would essentially destroy the state's network of 56 "crisis pregnancy centers", others are resorting to desperate measures to justify their support for the unconstitutional legislation.

If anyone still thinks that abortion is an isolated, never discussed part of mainstream medical practices, all they need to do is a little research to discover that abortion is part and parcel of the establishment medical system.

Confirming what those of us in Washington State already knew, a new study by Americans United for Life placed Washington dead last in a ranking of states based on protections for human life. The top state was Oklahoma. Contributing to Washington's last position was the fact that the state is one of the few that voluntarily pays for abortions at any stage, for any reason out of Medicaid funds,

The recent story about abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia reminded us here at AIW about all the quacks that operate in Washington state. Go read the article just so you are familiar with the horrific conditions inside his "clinic". Unfortunately, stories like Dr. Gosnell's are not uncommon among abortionists even here in Washington. It's important to note that licensing agencies and

We got word from Olympia today that the abortion lobby and their allies in the Washington State Democratic Party have, as expected, just reintroduced a bill they tried to pass last year but never got out of committee. The bill is designed to destroy Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) that offer safe and compassionate health care to women in need while leaving the filthy, manipulative, chop-shops

I attended the March for Life in Olympia yesterday. Here's a great picture that was sent to me. It was taken with a wide angle lens. "With a wide angle lens this photographer went to the Hall of Justice steps, to the top of the steps, and couldn't get the whole crowd in one photo." Here's coverage from the Olympian, which ain't half bad considering they seem to love the abortion industry most

Confirming once again that the Washington State Governor's Mansion is little more than the Olympia office of Planned Parenthood, Governor Christine Gregoire just decided to preserve the state's "Take Charge" free birth control program. We have exposed how the program, now in its 10th year, has done almost nothing to reduce the rate of unwanted pregnancies, births to low-income women, or

This blog has just learned that Washington State's most horrific abortion clinic is in the middle of another scandal. Cedar River Clinics is being sued for medical malpractice for a late-term abortion that almost killed the mother and left her unable to have children. The doctor who performed the late-term abortion was Robert L. Kothenbeutel. According to court documents, on December 13, 2007,

This last Monday in a Kent courtroom, the Constitution prevailed over a shocking attempt to silence this blog by a prominent local doctor linked to the region's most controversial abortion clinics. This doctor is Chair of the Washington State delegation to the American Medical Association, and in that capacity represents all the doctors in the state.She is also a colleague and associate of

If the goverment can make a person sell something. And the government can also make someone else buy something. Does that mean the government can force people to sell abortions and other people to buy them? Just asking.

Readers of this blog know that we were the first to call attention to a little known state Medicaid program called Take Charge, and have worked hard to get it terminated. So we were thrilled to discover, originally from Planned Parenthood as it turns out, that the the 10-year-old program is on the chopping block. With record budget shortfalls, Olympia is being forced against their will to find

This is a true story about the “powers that be” behind the scenes in the Washington State Republican Party. What does it mean if a Republican is an “Establishment Candidate”? All organizations reflect the guiding ideals of their top leaders. The Washington State Republican Party “Establishment” is the “top” of the Washington State Republican Party and the Party has been guided by, essentially,

This blog's exposing of HopeLink's involvement in taking girls to and from abortion clinics -- at taxpayers' expense -- is having some fallout. The King County organization is best known for food drives and arranging rides for the elderly. But they make the majority of their revenue -- tens of millions of dollars -- as Medicaid Transportation contractors for the state of Washington's Department

You may recall that King County's Public Health Department was recently embroiled in controversy because it was revealed that they had helped a teenage Ballard High School student get an abortion without her parents' knowledge. After that story broke across the country, TJ Cosgrove, spokesman for KC Public Health, stunned the nation by saying he was completely unapologetic about the incident. He

You may recall the story out of Spokane in 2009 that AIW reported on here, here and here. It concerned the speech rights of students on the campus of public colleges. Administrators at Spokane Falls Community College "threatened Beth Sheeran and members of a Christian student group with disciplinary measures, including expulsion, if they chose to hold a pro-life event on campus to share

We are reprinting the following Seattle abortion story from AbortionTV.com. The abortion happened just over a decade ago, and unfortunately the abortion clinics and abortionist are not identified. But chances are they are still doing this today. There only a few individuals who do abortions this late. Was it Dr. Oyer? Was it Dr. Kothenbeutel? Was it Dr. Komarow? Was it Dr. Browne? Or was it Dr.

If you haven't  been following the race for the GOP slot to challenge Patty Murray, now is the time to get up to speed. First see the ads by Washington Life coalition here and here. Then read the response from Joe Fuiten of Cedar Park Church and Dan Kennedy of Human Life of Washington. Then read the response to Fuiten and Kennedy from state Rep. Val Stevens. The two biggest problems are with

Update: Pastor Fuiten has withdrawn his endorsement of Steve Litzow. If people are wondering why the pro-life movement has achieved zero, zip, and nada in the legislature this latest information from from Terra Mork Writes may help to shed some light on the situation in the state... Pastor Fuiten is the senior pastor of a large congregation in Bothell, Washington. He has a reputation of being

The Washington Life Coalition (WLC) released a brand new internet video today to appeal to pro-life voters in the state of Washington who have been led to believe they should support Dino Rossi in his bid for U.S. Senate. The video chronicles some of Rossi's statements on the issue of abortion, and then reveals an egregious vote that Rossi cast as a state senator, overlooked by the pro-life
