| 0:00.0 | It's Friday, March 20, 2006. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.0 | There are few organizations in human history that have been so cruelly named as Planned Parenthood. |
| 0:20.0 | Because rather than planning parenthood, |
| 0:22.5 | that organization has been more famous from the beginning about unplanning parenthood rather |
| 0:28.4 | than planning it. It really began in a movement to support birth control and legalized contraception. |
| 0:35.1 | It, of course, expanded itself vastly into the abortion industry |
| 0:39.2 | in the better part of the 20th century, the last part of the 20th century, and into the 21st century, |

| 1:29.7 | state by state, is really on the defensive. And they're trying to make up the money. And so to what |
| 1:35.6 | have they turned? Well, you might be surprised by the answer. The answer is, at least in some cases, |
| 1:41.4 | Botox. Now remember, this is an organization that named itself |
| 1:45.6 | Planned Parenthood while seeking to subvert the gift of life and parenthood. Here's how an article |
| 1:51.6 | that recently appeared in the New York Times begins, quote, the Mar-Monte affiliate of Planned Parenthood, |
| 1:56.5 | which includes 30 clinics across parts of California and Nevada, recently announced it would tiptoe into the lucrative and increasingly popular world of cosmetic procedures. |
