planned parenthood, personhood, and profit--the truth
www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=18785
The above link will take you to an article written by Jim Sedlak of the American Life League. He talks in this article about all of the controversy raised in the last Congress over a "personhood" bill, supported by 100 conservative members of the House, which simply stated, "The Congress hereby declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being."
Horrors! What a mean, disgusting, non-compassionate thing for conservatives to do! Thank goodness we had enough liberals in the House to stop such a horrifying bill from even making it through the committee process! What nerve conservatives have, guaranteeing humans the right to life.
This kind of stuff just makes you shake your head, doesn't it? The article goes into detail about the purpose of the bill, who opposed it, and why. Mr. Sedlak goes into a fair amount of detail about Planned Parenthood--the chief opponent of the bill--and several of the myths and irregularities concerning that for-profit political action committee. He left out crucial background information on this organization, however, so I thought I would fill in the gaps.
The founder of Planned Parenthood was a woman named Margaret Sanger. Ms. Sanger wrote a book entitled "Woman and the New Race" which leaves no doubt as to her beliefs concerning the role of birth control and abortion in a civilized society. Ms. Sanger was a eugenicist. She believed that society had an obligation to abort as many babies as possible among blacks, the poor, the uneducated, and any other class of people she deemed as "defectives, or those who will become defectives." Those are her words. She went on to say, "The campaign for Birth Control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal with the final aim of Eugenics...... The most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the overfertility of the mentally and physically defective." Wow!
Sanger belonged to the American Eugenics Society, and believed that the value of a human being came from the value of the genes. Those of us who believe that the Book of Genesis is true probably take exception to that, don't we?
Take a look at these quotes from Sanger, and from other representatives of Planned Parenthood:
All of our problems (with poverty) are the result of overbreeding among the working class.--Sanger, 1922
Charity benefitting the poor breeds constantly increasing numbers of defectives, delinquents, and dependents.--another compassionate Sanger quote
The poor are a dead weight of human waste.--liberals support an organization founded by this nut job?
The right to choose abortion makes all my other rights possible.--1985 Planned Parenthood advertisement. Hondo says, though, that the right to choose abortion destroys all of a baby's rights.
Babies are loud, smelly and expensive. Unless you want one.--1996 Planned Parenthood advertisement. Hondo says, quit trying to compare a human life to a gas-powered lawn mower! The mower wasn't created in the image of God.
We have yet to beat our drums for birth control in the way we beat them for polio vaccine. We are still unable to put babies in the class of dangerous epidemics, even though this is the exact truth.--Mary Calderone, M.D., a former president of Planned Parenthood.
When a screaming liberal tries to tell me that my Christian conservative values and beliefs are "so far off the beaten path of rational thought that you can't even see the road anymore," I just remind myself that, for liberals, the values of Planned Parenthood represent the beaten path of rational thought. For me, that simply reinforces the truth of Pres. Reagan's statement that "liberalism is the passionate belief in things that just aren't so."
