Chelsea Clinton: “I Wish My Grandparents Had Planned Parenthood” (she said it again)
Breaking Israel News ^ | 2/24/2020 | Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

Posted on 02/29/2020 10:19:06 AM PST by simpson96

“It was You who created my conscience; You fashioned me in my mother’s womb.” Psalms 139:13 (The Israel Bible™)

Chelsea Clinton recently doubled-down a previous declaration that she wished her maternal grandmother had utilized the services of Planned Parenthood. Though she insisted her intention was not that her mother would have been aborted rather than born, the ugly truths of Planned Parenthood present a far uglier picture than she probably intended.

In a dialogue last week with Planned Parenthood’s newly appointed president, Dr. Leana Wen, Chelsea Clinton, the former first-daughter, referred to a rather perplexing statement she had made in a similar forum with Cecile Richards, the previous head of Planned Parenthood.

“When I was on a panel recently with Cecile [Richards], I said how much I wish that my grandmother — my mom’s mom — had been able to go to a Planned Parenthood. She had unwed teenage parents who abandoned her multiple times throughout her life. She had to start working to support herself before her 14th birthday. She was aware that there was something deeply unjust about her situation, dealing with questions of menstruation and reproductive healthcare without somewhere to go.”

The ambiguity of the statement, seeming to imply that she would have preferred her progenitor be aborted, was not entirely lost on Clinton.

“Of course, when I shared this, the anti-choice movement translated it as saying I wished my grandmother had aborted my mother. Which is, of course, not what I said and not what I meant.”

Sounds like she wishes her mom had been aborted. And can you blame her?

What Chelsea Clinton shared about her grandmother’s situation as a teenager does not make me feel that Planned Parenthood would have made a difference.

I had a similar situation myself. I had a mother who suffered from bi-polar disorder who rarely knew where I was or what I did. And an absentee father.

It’s not as hard to do the right thing as people make it out to be.

I married my high school sweetheart 43 years ago. We have two beautiful children and five beautiful and amazing grandchildren. I had little to no parental guidance. And Planned Parenthood played no role in the making of this family.

The whole idea of Planned Parenthood was to rid society of people like me and/or my children. It was NOT to provide guidance on how to develop healthy and happy families. It was designed to rid society of the ‘lesser’ humans and has evolved into one of the biggest fund-raisers for the elitist political class to push their evil agenda.

okay, rant off.

Seems that once again, Chelsea got caught in a big fat lie, while attempting to change the meaning of what she said. Planned Parenthood has been in Chicago, since her grandmother was only four years old and living at 2956 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago, just 3 miles south of the first Planned Parenthood Center in Illinois.

History of Planned Parenthood of Illinois

The institution that is today's Planned Parenthood began in the early 1900s with Margaret Sanger, a nurse who advocated for birth control and led the movement to abolish federal and state laws prohibiting publication of information about sexuality, contraception and human reproduction. In 1916, Sanger opened the first birth control clinic and founded Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA).

1923: The Illinois Birth Control League makes family planning available in Chicago by opening a center on Michigan Avenue. Prominent Chicago women support the League and its activities.

1930s: Additional health centers are opened in Chicago.

1938: Four socially prominent women work together to open the Maternal Health Clinic in Springfield. The center was open on two Wednesdays a month.

Early 1940s: In February of 1940 the center in Champaign opened, but was only allowed to serve married women of low income. The war years brought shortages of doctors and nurses, but the center survived.

1947: The medical centers in Chicago are incorporated as a Planned Parenthood Affiliate and become known as Planned Parenthood Association, Chicago Area (PPACA). PPACA assumes the responsibility for reproductive, medical, and educational services in the Chicago area. Twenty-two men and women are elected to the Board of Directors.




Dorothy Emma Howell (1919-2011) married Hugh Ellsworth Rodham (1911-1993) in 1942. Hillary was not born until October 25, 1947 in Chicago.

We wouldn’t have held it against you. Understandable.

Good article.

Only one quibble: Author Adam Berkowitz magnanimously gave Margaret Sanger the benefit of the doubt as to whether she was personally, in fact, a racist or not. But here's the thing: she was. Here's a letter she wrote describing her "Negro Project" to a major donor and ally, C.J. Gamble. Note the bottom highlighted paragraph:

"We do not want 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."

Sanger Letter to Gamble Dec 10, 1939

In fact she said precisely she wished her mother’s mother had access to Planned Parenthood. As do we all.

Sounds to me like what Chelsea Clinton said and it is questionable what she meant. If I were Hillary Clinton, I would look at her with a little bit of a question.
