TX Pro-Life Groups Challenges Popular Breast Cancer Foundation for Planned Parenthood Link
A pro-life group in Texas is drawing attention to the Abortion Breast Cancer link and Planned Parenthood’s relationship with the Susan G. Komen Foundation with a new billboard that raises serious questions — and is drawing fire. Pro-Life Waco has set up a billboard on the 1700 block of Franklin Avenue that poses suggestive questions: “What? An abortion increases my risk for breast cancer? Why does the Komen Race grant $45,000 to Waco’s Planned Parenthood abortion provider?”
The billboard is also visible from the offices of the Waco Tribune-Herald, which has voiced support of Planned Parenthoods policies and agenda in the past.

Church staff realized the memorial service for 46-year-old Cecil Sinclair, who was not a church member, was going to be a celebration of Cecil’s homosexual lifestyle. Simons says [that after he decided High Point Church could not host the service], he feared an extended public backlash. “It seemed to me that was all that we were getting,” he shares. “And then a day or two later, the Christian community started kicking in and now we’re being blessed and inundated, really, with positive e-mails of support.”

[During the week of August 5th], Lee Sinclair — an employee and member of High Point Church in Arlington — called a church staff member to let them know his brother, Cecil, was in critical condition and in the hospital. Cecil Sinclair, who was not a member, died a short time later. The church offered to host Mr. Sinclair’s memorial service for free. However, when the family submitted photos for a memorial service video [showing that Cecil Sinclair was involved in an openly homosexual lifestyle], the decision was made to retract the offer to host the memorial service because the event would have been a celebration not of the Navy veteran’s life, but instead of the homosexual lifestyle.
