Planned Parenthood Responsible for Millions of
Birthdays Never Celebrated

   

Young and trendy millennials sharing high fives, pretty pink colors, balloons, birthday cakes, and historical victory flashbacks are overflowing Planned Parenthood's social media platforms. Using the tagline #100YearsStrong, they've been celebrating the 100th anniversary of Planned Parenthood that occurred yesterday, Sunday, Oct. 16.

Their countdown website proudly stated, "We've made incredible gains during our first century. Birth control, once out of reach, is widely available. Abortion, once a crime, is safe and legal." There were victorious T-shirts displaying messages like "Health, Passion, Freedom, Care," and commemoration videos stating such things as, "Reproductive Freedom is an American value."

 

The videos also reflect on the abortion legislation battles, imploring, "When I hear politicians talk about women's rights... (they) will never understand what it feels like to be a woman and (have) the decisions that you make about your body trying to be policed."

But we see through Planned Parenthood's pink mask of championing women's rights. In 100 years, while the rhetoric has been expertly polished from Margaret Sanger's "Negros are human weeds that need to be picked" to today's "Reproductive Freedom," the agenda has viciously gone off the deep end.

Pro-Life coalitions are responding to the social media campaign, coming together to expose PP's "100 years of strength" as #100YearsofAbuse. And National Right to Life has answered with SaddestBirthdayEver.com to provide materials to help pro-lifers publicize the REAL work that Planned Parenthood does, primarily killing babies.

 

My pro-life generation will never forget that so-called "reproductive freedom" has extinguished 6.7 million unborn lives, using a half a billion of our tax dollars annually to do so. We will never forget the additional profit revealed by the Center for Medical Progress videos featuring PP officials joking about Lamborghinis, organs and "intact cadavers."

We will also never forget the Live Action videos demonstrating that "Health, Passion, Freedom, Care" also means covering up statutory rape and perpetuating sex trafficking.

 

In order to preserve "an American value," Planned Parenthood has fought tooth and nail against common sense regulations such as accommodating emergency equipment and personnel and enacting common-sense waiting periods. Apparently being presented with all options still means blocking laws ensuring that women would have seen an ultrasound of their baby before their final abortion decision.

 

In our own back yard Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast will be celebrating "33 Years in New Orleans, 100 Years Nationwide." And Planned Parenthood plans to continue growing in Louisiana.

PP CEO Cecile Richards stated as much earlier this year when she was interviewed at the ribbon cutting of Planned Parenthood's new facility on S. Claiborne Avenue in New Orleans.

 

"We definitely built this so we can provide abortions," she said, referring to the new center. " Planned Parenthood has been around 100 years, and we will be around another 100. And we are so excited to be opening this new health center where we will provide thousands more people in New Orleans and surrounding communities high-quality affordable health care."

 

Louisiana does not need Planned Parenthood to add to its #100YearsofAbuse. While not forgetting the past 100 years, we must be vigilant in activism, prayer and promoting compassionate alternative resources as the next chapter begins.
