STANEK: Abortion Pride!

OPINION -- Planned Parenthood has come up with a new way to promote abortion pride, by adding “soft and comfortable” t-shirts that say, “I had an abortion,” to its clothing line of “social fashion statements.”

The “I had an abortion” t-shirt is the most recent rah-rah attempt by abortion proponents to stir the mom-and-apple-pie, pro-abortion spirit in us. Whoops. Forget I said mom.

Add this to another great marketing concept developed by pro-aborts, the “Choice on Earth” Christmas cards, which strangely mark the occasion of a 15-year-old unmarried pregnant girl choosing to carry her baby to term 2,000 years ago.

Speaking of holidays, don’t forget everyone’s favorite, the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers, held every March 10, as I’m sure you already knew. Next year, don’t forget to order the NDAA Organizers Kit, which includes a sample sermon and prayer for your pastor.

I’m surprised Planned Parenthood isn’t giving away their “I had an abortion” t-shirts as part of an abortion promotion campaign. You know, “Get one free after your abortion!”

No, the t-shirts cost $15 each, babe. With abortion on the decline, providers have to find other ways to scrape out a living, you know.

The only problem is, according to Romans 1:18-20, the instinctive knowledge of God, right, and wrong have been placed in every human heart.

Thus, one thing a pregnant mother instinctively knows is she has a baby growing inside her, not an unruly appendage. Fathers know this, too.

Deep inside, all people know abortion is murder, no matter how hard they try to stifle the still, small voice telling them it is so. This is not a shifting moral principle based on societal Puritanism. It is truth.

Getting an abortion will never be a positive in one’s life, an experience to recall with friends over and over as years go by, or to write as an accomplishment in one’s yearbook.

Pro-aborts figure the more often and brazenly they confront the still, small voice, the greater chance they’ll have of shutting it up.

But it won’t work. For girls and women it will always be catastrophic to walk through the doors of an abortion clinic, change from street clothes into that ill-fitting gown with the open back, pad in one’s socks to the operating room, put one’s feet in the stirrups, and hear and feel the suction of an abortion. The feeling of emptiness afterward - because she is - is haunting, something she wants to sleep away at first, and then forget, not celebrate with a t-shirt.

And countless now-good family men in their 30s, 40s and 50s live in wracked silent guilt with memories of how they coerced girlfriends to abort their own child when they were both young and stupid. Abortion now disgusts them, makes them strangely angry. They don't want to think about it.

The problem is, forgetting isn’t possible. This infamous day will never be forgotten, like we never forget the day Kennedy was assassinated or the day the Challenger went down.

So when Planned Parenthood comes up with a gimmick to instill pride in what is impossible to be proud of unless you’re deranged like them, people are intuitively grossed out.

In the Bible, barrenness is considered a curse, and killing children is the most despicable crime of all.

How much more depraved can a woman be who, through the act of abortion, inflicts barrenness upon herself while simultaneously killing her own child?

Yet there are people more depraved than this poor soul.

They are those who push abortion, make money off of abortion, and try to make women feel not just ok but proud about their abortions.

The most depraved people are those in Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the National Abortion Federation, the National Organization for Women, the ACLU, and pro-abortion politicians and judges, because that is what they do.

I have other t-shirt ideas for Planned Parenthood's "social fashion statement" clothing line. How about, "My girlfriend had an abortion" to match the "I had an abortion" t-shirt? Almost all couples break up after abortion. Maybe matching t-shirts would provide a chic bond to hold them together.

Or how about, "My daughter had an abortion"? Except that would only work if one hasn't already aborted one's daughter.

Or how about, "My mother had an abortion"? Whoops. Scratch that one.

Planned Parenthood’s clothing line does include a kid’s tee that says "Parenthood. Plan It!" on the front and "Every Child a Wanted Child" on the back.

But I question the marketing research for that tee. It's surely not a big seller.

No, but if you would like I could attribute the quote to FReeper Grig.

It wouldn't be the first time that I forgot the name of a FReeper who offered a quotable comment.

If you want fame, fortune, and recognition, perhaps you should send your abortion comment to used in Reader's Digest.

Share their positive experiences about abortion????????? What the...did I read that right or am I sleep deprived to the point of hallucinating?

As I sit and rock my newest little daughter (born June 17th), I realize that I would die for her, not make her die for my convenience.

I work with women who choose life for their babies instead of abortion, even if their life circumstances are not ideal. That is what keeps me from giving up the battle.

Maybe Planned Parenthood will make enough money so they can start using their own money and stop getting funds from the government. Then they can expand the line to advertise their other "services"- "I'm being treated for an STD."
If you've had more than one abortion, can you get one that says- "I've had eight abortions." ?(My sister knows someone who actually has.) How about "My uterus was punctured during my abortion."? How about "I spoil my kid rotten because I feel guilty about aborting the first one."? I know someone who does that. The possibilities are quite endless, aren't they? My favorite would be "Can't find for the cure for AIDS? It was aborted."
