Retiring Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards urged abortion supporters to "fight back against the moralists who threaten women's freedom." She pointed to "a few bright spots we've seen in recent weeks that should encourage our faith in the ultimate victory of our cause."
"First there was the virtually unanimous vote by House Democrats against requiring abortionists to render medical aid to infants who survive the procedure," Richards recounted. "This nonsensical Republican attempt to impose their own notion of what they call 'common human decency' would completely negate the purpose of the procedure. The mother came for the express purpose of terminating her unwanted pregnancy. To require the doctor to offer life-saving aid after he has botched the termination effort is cruel and demented."
"Next, there was the successful Democrat filibuster against the Senate Republicans' attempt to prevent abortions that cause pain for the fetus," Richards continued. "Seeing the Democrats high-fiving each other after killing the bill was exhilarating. For the GOP to try to use the few moments of pain experienced by the fetus as it is ripped apart inside the mother's womb as a ploy to foist a lifetime of obligation on the parents is a moral atrocity."
"Not content with their efforts to nullify a woman's right to an abortion, the GOP is now touting legislation that would greatly inconvenience women by allowing the doctor they prefer to perform the procedure to decline on the grounds that it violates his conscience," Richards complained. "Their bill would overturn President Obama's decree that doctors must abide by the consciences of their patients and have no right to insert their own moral objections into the transaction. Permitting individuals to each make their own moral judgments is the road to anarchy. If the government is to fully empower women to choose whether to be mothers it must enforce compliance upon those the government has licensed to practice medicine and compel doctors to perform requested abortions."

Sadly, if you offered this up to leftists they would see no irony.
Too bad Cecile Richards’ parents didn’t practice abortion.

I almost puked when I read this. Great satire, but . . .
PP is helping us with population control and getting rid of those evil minorities.
