I read today that a Planned Parenthood affiliate has a new president and CEO. Melaney Linton will be the new president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast starting March 1, 2012. She rose up in the ranks over 24 years and started as a Clinic Assistant. She seems eager and excited to lead 13 abortion and abortion referring clinics as well as the LARGEST Planned Parenthood Clinic in the United States. That would be in Houston, Texas.
It is reported that Planned Parenthood statistics for 2010 are as follows:
12,000 abortions and they earned $17 million dollars that year.
49% of their funding came from tax payer money.
$200,000 was the annual salary of her predecessor, Peter J. Durkin.
Here is Ms. Linton's statement:
"I am honored and humbled to be entrusted with such a sacred duty...I pledge to do everything in my power to fight back against the ideological attacks on Planned Parenthood and women, so that no teen will every say she didn't know how she got pregnant, no one will ever be denied basic reproductive health care, and no woman will ever be forced to bear children she cannot adequately support."
She doesn't mention anything about pregnancy prevention or adoption. It almost sounds like she is declaring war against the unborn. Would that be a stretch? Does the Pro-Life Movement "attack" women? or Planned Parenthood? If by "attack" she means reveals the truth of what is happening then yes, I guess it could be called that.

But wouldn't it be more accurate to say it's the unborn who are being "attacked" and killed.
Ms. Linton is "honored and humbled with such a sacred duty."
Hmmmm.... I imagine she either does or will regret that statement.
Abortion is not sacred. It's the opposite of sacred.
I'm praying for you Ms. Linton!
