I read the letter in today's paper from Sari Stevens, the director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania Advocates in Harrisburg.
She used the all too predictable rhetoric and wording of the so called pro-choice Planned Parenthood group. There are at least half of those who enter abortion clinics, including those of Planned Parenthood, who have no choice, or voice, in these places. The ones who have no choice are those in the womb. If they are truly Pro-Choice why are they only allowing the mothers to choose? Why not wait until the child is of sufficient age to make a decision whether to live or die?
Robyn Blumner wrote a column recently making a plea for the death penalty to be ended, saying it is cruel to sentence and place a criminal on death row, with the possibility of his/her execution, yet we are blindly allowing babies to die. If we did that to criminals, we would be considered inhuman. Where is our humanity where the unborn are concerned?
I have noticed that when we are for something we use the prefix "pro-", and when we are against something we use the prefix "anti-". We could likewise say we are anti-death. Sounds a little different than to say ant-abortion, yet it means the same thing.
Sari of Planned Parenthood used that predictable term, anti-choice. How dare I and those like me who are Pro-Life, be against choice? We are Pro-choice, we just know that the time for choice is before conception takes place, meaning a woman has a choice, in likely at least 90 percent of the cases, to not have sex.
She calls abortion health Care. I didn't know that a planned death was a definition of health care, yet every successful abortion results in the baby's death.
I just last night and tonight listened to a former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic. She said that the clinic had been instructed to produce more abortions because revenues were down. Is it really true that Planned Parenthood is concerned about the fate of women, although there are many future women in the group of babies aborted daily, or is she and Planned Parenthood really lamenting the loss of some money for the organization?
