Planned Parenthood south of the border…

by Leave a Comment

Planned Parenthood appears to be getting a run for their money. Again. Which is fine, as it has been established this “charity” has plenty. Recent accusations highlight racism, and of course, there is the ongoing problem of abortions for minors where the possibility of actually just concealing rape is high.

Again, to repeat my point: Abortion clinics (read: our sanitizated houses for the business of killing) are depressing and abortion has depressing outcomes. We ought at least to be very aware of that, and subsequently very wary of those who present terminology like “abortion care.”

And on the flip side, again, to repeat: Pro-lifers ought to be very aware of caring for the messy lives of those who seek abortion. A woman never arrives at the abortion clinic after a series of perfect and well thought out decisions.

An intolerant update

Remember that story about Planned Parenthood representatives being caught accepting money to abort black babies? Here’s more, via Michelle Malkin:

I’ve written several times before about Lila Rose’s pioneering undercover journalism. If left-wing reporters are going to use their positions to engineer bigotry stings, then there’s most certainly room for independent journalists to expose racism where the Left doesn’t want to go. In February, Rose released undercover tapes of her discussion with an Idaho Planned Parenthood official eager to accept money from a racist donor who supported aborting black babies. Now, Rose is back with new video of PP clinic officials in New Mexico and Oklahoma willing to take money from a blatantly racist donor. One PP staffer openly admits that “for whatever reason, we’ll accept the money.”

Sympathy for eugenics isn’t just an aberrent occurrence. It’s embedded in the historical DNA of Planned Parenthood. Margaret Sanger would be so proud.

Andrea adds: The average Canadian may not be aware that Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood is also author of Birth Control and Racial Betterment. Sure, she lived in an era when eugenic science was popular, but she maintained her racist zeal long after it went out of style, and even spoke at a Ku Klux Klan rally. These taped admissions of racism in Planned Parenthood offices would be horrifying without that history. With it–makes you wonder whether eugenic pruning of whoever they consider the underclass isn’t still on their books as official policy.

Tanya adds: This article mentions some early initiatives taken by Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood: http://www.lifenews.com/nat3780.html

We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.

The article is called “Planned Parenthood Founder Sanger Would Love Pro-Abortion Barack Obama.”

Have a good one

Today, March 25, is “National Back Up Your Birth Control Day,” south of the border. Celebrate by getting Plan B emergency contraception at a great discount. Read more here.

No mention as to whether they’ll be giving out balloons and cotton candy.

Plan B emergency contraception provides a larger dose of the same hormones found in birth control pills…

Those hormones are estrogen and progesterone. Don’t worry, though. I’m sure it isn’t the same estrogen and progesterone which have been shown in extended doses to contribute to coronary heart disease and invasive breast cancer, just to name a few.

As part of this momentous celebration, Planned Parenthood will also be “lobbying members of Congress to permit over-the-counter access to EC regardless of age.”

What a proud day for women everywhere! Ladies, mark your calendars. This is something to be sure to celebrate every year.

Andrea adds: It is very difficult to view unfettered access to Plan B for any age as being pro-woman and on this it really doesn’t matter whether you are pro-life or pro-choice. Many of the women using Plan B repeatedly are young girls–not women. Marketing the morning-after pill like this makes it sound as though it’s a piece of cake. You take a pill, et voila! your problem disappears. But many girls can’t tolerate those high doses of hormones and end up throwing up. At which point, one can’t be sure the pill stayed down. So back for a second over-the-counter dose. Repeat the agony, which is heightened because you are alone (no doctor’s supervision is the whole point). That’s not health care. That’s a joke.

Andrea adds again: It’s also International Day of the Unborn Child. I’ll admit though, that whether on my side or the other side, “International Days” of most kinds don’t thrill me. I gather this day aims to change our culture, to recognize and accept the unborn, and I’m glad.

The day was expressly started on the Feast of the Annunciation, making this particular day for the unborn more or less a Roman Catholic celebration. That’s not to say it couldn’t broaden out, but I firmly believe we need all peoples and faiths to join the fight against abortion, and I’m not sure that linking pro-life events to Roman Catholic holy days will achieve this goal.  (I’m well aware that other faiths are not exactly out there leading the charge on this one, so I appreciate the RCs doing it.) Some convoluted thoughts then, on this day for the unborn. Would that we lived in a culture where such a day was completely unnecessary.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

It’s like Christmas in March. The state of Virginia voted this week to cut Planned Parenthood’s funding.

This amendment is not intended to save money,” complained an opinion piece in the Commonwealth Times. “It is a way for lawmakers to get around Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that made abortions legal in the United States, without directly confronting the constitutionality of the decision. 

Bingo.  And we could all learn from that.

(In Canada, Planned Parenthood receives government funding too. Read about their profit margin in the States, here. They make enough money without government grants.)

Update, March 19: No Christmas in March after all. The Senate overturned the legislature’s removal of funding for Planned Parenthood. Read about it here.
