Please keep your eyes open. Apparently the abortion clinic is changing the hours they do abortions. The past 2 Wednesdays, a usual abortion day, they haven’t done any. The bad news is, they just did them last Friday instead. Please keep your eyes open and let me know if ther is a day you’re out there where more clients are coming in then usual and let me know.
COUNSELORS OF THE WEEK: Praying for the counselors of the week is working. Our last 2 counselors we prayed for, Jim and Liz Whitty, both benefitted from the prayer last week. Jim was able to show some compassion towards an upset husband while Lioz was able to talk a “Pastor” who was bringing in a mentally challenged girl to have an abortion into choosing life instead. Thank God for the Whittys and thank you for praying for them.
This week, please pray for Jackie Buccola and Diane Clark. Jackie has been a faithful counselor 2 days a week for years. She is one of the early birds Sat morning. Besides being a devoted counselor, Jackie and Dom are the Queen and King of fundraiser yard sales, raising thousands of dollars over the years for the Pregnancy Care Center and other worthy causes. Diane is one of the prayer warriors who quietly comes to the abortuary and prays every Saturday morning and other days. Diane is also a nurse, so is able to share the harm of abortion, especially at this dump, with the clients. Please pray for Jackie and Diane, that God gives them the right words to say at the right time.
As we get closer to the end of 40 Days, we have to keep our committment strong and keep coming and praying. I’ll be sending out an email soon about several upcoming pro-life event, including Jackie and Dom’s annual pro-life yard sale this week!!

Pastor Bryan Longworth: Four years ago I stood in front of this council and asked them to defund Planned Parenthood, and I was actually the only one at that point; but, thankfully, Dr Hofstee was there with me and got fired up, and what started was just letting people know and informing people that the Children’s Services Council was funding the largest abortion provider. However, even if you would go back a year ago with all the people that we had that came out, I wouldn’t have said that we’d be standing here today and seeing that Planned Parenthood was defunded; however, I do give glory and honor to God for this victory. I believe that His presence was with us. I also want to recognize the work of Lila Rose, Live Action, Life Dynamics, and other organizations and individuals who have exposed Planned Parenthood for their involvement in covering up statutory rape, for their involvement in usurping parental notification laws, for their involvement in covering up the sex trade practices, and for their involvement in receiving donations specifically designated to target black babies abortion. This national focus that has been on Planned Parenthood is a huge part of this and is a huge part of why we have seen dozens of people, and often close to 100 people, and even 92 people in favor of cutting Planned Parenthood funding here today. So it was a combination of God’s blessing, the national focus, and the local people just rising up and putting a stop to this. It is fitting that the Children’s Services Counsel whose mission is to improve the quality of life for all children in St. Lucie County to end this funding, and it is fitting that they end this relationship with Planned Parenthood because frankly, Planned Parenthood was tarnishing their organization and tarnishing the good organizations that they fund. I would like to thank the Children’s Services Council, and thank their members, and board member Cynthia Angelos for being the first board member with the courage to propose that maybe we should look at another organization to fund, and thank the other board members for having the courage to pull this one group of funding and hold a special search for a replacement provider for this funding.
Now we can move forward, and we’re not 100% happy with the organizations chosen. Kids Connected by Design frankly, on sex education, does believe the same way as Planned Parenthood that sex is a rite of passage, and that every young person is going to have sex so you might as well give them condoms. What we would prefer is an authentic abstinence based program that does accurately reveal the danger of having sex using condoms and accurately show as government studies show that condoms fail to protect against HIV 15% of the time, fail to protect against pregnancy 25% of the time, fail to protect against Herpes, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis 40 – 50% of the time, and provide virtually no protection against the HPV virus which is the leading cause of cervical cancer which does kill over 4,000 women per year. We are thankful that the Children’s Services Counsel today did also fund the Boys and Girls Club for the after school program. The Boys and Girls Club program is 100% abstinence based as I understand it. That is a huge victory. It’s a huge victory first of all to see Planned Parenthood defunded. Second, it’s a huge victory to see a larger portion of the funding going to fund an authentic abstinence program. That is a huge victory for the taxpayers. It’s a huge victory for the children in Saint Lucie County.
Now we’ll open it up for any questions you may have.
Jay Meisel, Hometown News: What is your position now as far as the 2014 ballot referendum to continue or discontinue the Children’s Services Council?
Pastor Bryan Longworth: I made it clear to the Children’s Services Counsel, and maybe I didn’t make it clear enough today, but I have made it clear in the past that if they defund Planned Parenthood that we are not going to campaign against them in 2014. I don’t want to campaign against the Children’s Services Council. They do a fabulous job, and whether we believe that funding should be based on voluntary donations or whether we believe that funding should be derived from the government taking money out of every taxpayer’s wallet, that is one issue, but it’s really a small issue because the amount of tax is really a small amount, and there are a lot of other organizations who are taking out a lot more. We don’t really want to campaign against the Children’s Services Council because we do support the mission statement of the Children’s Services Council, and we do support the vast majority of the organizations that the Children’s Services Council does fund; so Sean, we won’t be running against you in 2014.
Sean Boyle, Executive Director of the Children’s Services Counsel: You’ll be supporting us.
Pastor Bryan Longworth: Well, we’ll see.
Sean Boyle, Executive Director of the Children’s Services Counsel: Come on. On record, say it.
Note from Pastor Bryan Longworth: In my address to the CSC board members during the meeting, I offered to forward all traffic from our site, www.cscslc.com, to the CSC’s site, www.cscslc.org, if the CSC chooses two authentic abstinence programs instead of one authentic abstinence program and one condom ed program. I also said that I would wear one of the CSC’s “Show a Child You Care” t-shirts to a St Lucie Mets baseball game. I also would offer to campaign for the Children’s Services Council in 2014 if they end all funding to programs that promote condoms as a safe way to have sex and replace them with authentic abstinence program.

America’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood (PP) was axed Thursday by yet another tax funded agency. The latest government entity to ditch the embattled abortion giant was the St. Lucie County Children’s Services Council (CSC), an independent taxing authority in Florida, which has funded PP with grants totaling nearly $4 million since 2002. St. Lucie Taxpayers Against Planned Parenthood Funding, led the effort to defund Planned Parenthood by organizing pickets and speaking at monthly public forums that eventually led to cessation of funding for PP, which was about $500,000 last fiscal year. The Florida based CSC joined the ranks of Indiana, Kansas, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin who all recently cut Planned Parenthood funding. About 90 taxpayers opposed to the funding attended today’s forum, while only one PP employee addressed the council
According to Dr. Michael Hofstee, an organizer from the St. Lucie Taxpayers Against Planned Parenthood Funding, the CSC Taxing Authority members who are appointed, not elected, “saw the writing on the wall after PP found itself embroiled in a slew of embarrassing and indefensible undercover sting operations.” Hofstee cited videos and recordings demonstrating that Planned Parenthood assisted teenage girls in subverting parental notification laws, covering up statutory rape, accepting donations specifically to abort black babies, and covering up child sex trafficking. The CSC saw the incontrovertible evidence that PP is despicable,” Hofstee said.
Planned Parenthood Defunded!
Pastor Bryan Longworth, who first brought the issue to taxpayer’s attention in 2007 and has been a vocal critic of the CSC’s funding of Planned Parenthood, stated, “I praise God for this victory, thank Lila Rose, Live Action, Life Dynamics International, and the other individuals and organizations who have exposed Planned Parenthood’s embarrassing practices, thank all of the Saint Lucie County taxpayers who have called for the defunding of Planned Parenthood, and commend the St Lucie County Children’s Services Council Taxing Authority for finally cutting ties with Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood proved to be too controversial of an organization to continue funding and has needlessly tarnished the good name of the Children’s Services Council. I support most of the organizations funded by the Children’s Services Council and rejoice to see the CSC free to carry out it’s mission without the baggage that comes with funding Planned Parenthood.”
St. Lucie County Taxpayers Against Planned Parenthood Funding plans to continuing its vigilance in the coming years to ensure that Planned Parenthood is excluded from all taxpayer subsidization. A recent poll in Florida showed that most Floridians are opposed to the tax funding of Planned Parenthood.

The St. Lucie County Children’s Services Council (CSC), an independent taxing authority in Florida, has funded Planned Parenthood since 2002 and has awarded grants totaling nearly $4,000,000 to the organization, but that may all change Thursday when the CSC considers defunding Planned Parenthood. The CSC could join the likes of Indiana, Kansas, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin who all recently cut Planned Parenthood funding. The decision will be make by the CSC during their monthly meeting held Sept. 8 at 8:30 am, at the CSC office, 546 NW University Blvd, Suite 201, Port St. Lucie, FL 34986 across from the entrance to Tradition Field. (View a map here.)
St. Lucie Taxpayers Against Planned Parenthood Funding has led the effort to defund Planned Parenthood by organizing pickets and speaking at monthly meetings. The group postponed a picket of the TD Bank where board member Pat Alley works until after Thursday’s vote and hopes that that picket won’t be necessary. The group has promised to continue efforts to defund Planned Parenthood including picketing board members homes and places of work and campaigning against the Children’s Services Counsel the 2014 referendum that will allow St Lucie County voters to abolish the CSC. St. Lucie Taxpayers Against Planned Parenthood Funding will hold a press conference outside of the Children’s Services Counsel immediately following Tuesday’s vote.
As the leading abortion provider, Planned Parenthood is used to criticism, but this year PP has come under increasing scrutiny from taxpayers and politicians across the country as undercover sting operations revealed their involvement in assisting teenage girls in subverting parental notification laws, covering up statutory rape, accepting donations specifically to abort black babies, covering up child sex trafficking. and revealing that Planned Parenthood doesn’t even offer many of the services they claim to offer.
