What does it take to inform the American people of a holocaust? Planned Parenthood performs approximately 330,000 abortions annually, yet surveys show that while the organization has a near 100% name identity, only about 45% of those questioned know that its primary function is to promote abortion.
Now that’s not what the organization says, of course. It’s all for “women’s health.” Cecile Richards, the head of this butcher shop, went on ABC’s “This Week” for an interview, in which she did the usual thing—attack the integrity of those who caught Planned Parenthood doctors bartering for the sale of babies’ body parts. You see, those are the real perpetrators of evil in her view, not the organization that would feel comfortable in Hitler’s Germany.
Lest you think I’m exaggerating, keep in mind that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, had ties with Nazi doctors who even wrote articles in her journal. She also, like Hitler, was a great advocate of eugenics, and she sought, like Hitler, to exterminate certain races of people who were, in her mind, too backward to benefit society. African Americans were high on her list. Planned Parenthood even had something called “The Negro Project,” the purpose of which was to limit the number of black babies born.
We like to think of ourselves as more civilized in the 21st century. Where did we ever get that idea? More than 56 million innocent lives taken by abortion since 1973 and now the revelation that we treat the body parts of those innocent children as commodities to be sold should put to rest that lie. Those who do such things are depraved human beings, and we have become more barbaric than in the past.
Another awful truth that goes along with this is that the federal government funds this atrocious organization to the tune of half a billion dollars per year.
No wonder Planned Parenthood comes out swinging and trying to position itself as a savior for women and the victim of highly edited videos. It doesn’t want its cozy little relationship with the government and the money it provides to be altered in any way.
Republican leadership in the Congress has dropped the ball on the defunding effort. Despite promises that they would lead the pro-life fight, both Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have stalled those efforts. Boehner says he needs more evidence first; McConnell refused to allow a defunding amendment to be added to another bill that would have required only 51 votes to pass. He now says he will offer a stand-alone bill to defund the organization, but that requires 60 votes for passage. Is it any wonder there is a brewing conservative revolt against this type of “leadership”?
As for the Democrats, if you will go back up to the photo of Cecile Richards, you will see the logo behind her is “DNC.” That stands for Democratic National Committee. Democrats are fully on board with the Planned Parenthood agenda.
As I’ve noted before, but bears repeating again, Barack Obama was the first president ever to speak to a gathering of Planned Parenthood backers and gave them his blessing for their “work.” He also invoked God’s blessing on them.
Then there’s the current frontrunner for the Democrat nomination who has linked herself closely with Planned Parenthood, who has publicly praised Sanger, and who has received the Margaret Sanger Award. What an honor to be tied to a racist eugenicist.
This monstrosity needs to be defunded immediately, and anyone who claims the name of Christ as Lord and Savior must roundly denounce Planned Parenthood for the sinful, depraved organization that it is. Anything less is a denial of Christ Himself.
