A 1963 Planned Parenthood brochure actually states: "An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun."
Can anybody get this to Lurch?!! Read on....
From: A NEW LANGUAGE FOR THE CULTURE OF LIFE Re-Humanizing the VERY YOUNG CITIZEN
"Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!"
Back in the 1960's before Planned Parenthood realized that using scientific truths in its literature would lessen its revenue, it was halfway honest.
A 1963 Planned Parenthood brochure actually says "An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun." That's something we pro-lifers didn't start saying en mass until years latter!
A book from 1969 reviewed below states: '... at least one [sperm] will reach the egg, fertilize it, and conception will take place. A new life will begin.'
Eventually Planned Barrenhood saw that for their industry of death to maximize profits, truth would not be their "best policy".
"Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!"
While the words won't, the deceitful manipulation and misapplication of words in law has been the greatest cause of death in history.
Pro-Choice Advocates Agree that Abortion Kills Humans.
Many abortion advocates have agreed that abortion kills human life: A 1963 Planned Parenthood brochure says that life begins at conception: "An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun."{01} Former Planned Parenthood President Faye Wattleton admits that the preborn are alive in her 1986 book: "There are many sperm cells in the [seminal] fluid. If one of them meets an egg cell inside the mother, new life can begin to grow... If one of your friends is pregnant, ask her to let your child 'feel the baby move.' ... A baby grows in a special place inside the mother, called the uterus -- not in her stomach. In nine months it is born."{02}
Similarly, Dr. Mary Calderone, former director of Planned Parenthood has stated that "[a]bortion is the taking of a human life"{03} and Dr. Alan Guttmacher,{04} former president of Planned Parenthood and founder of the Guttmacher Institute, the research affiliate of Planned Parenthood, has stated "[f]ertilization has then taken place; a baby has been conceived."{05} {06} While many abortion defenders readily concede that abortion kills human life, it is necessary to expound on this point because examining the nature of the unborn human being at the point of conception shows the inherent dignity that we all share from our biologic beginnings that are hidden from eyes of the world.
Not only have representatives from the nations largest abortion provider agreed that life begins at conception, but others who support abortion have agreed that abortion is murder. Dr. Magda Denes who performed two years of research in an abortion facility and compiled her results{07} told a Chicago newspaper "There wasn't an (abortion) doctor who at one time or another in the questioning did not say `this is murder.'"{08} Even Kate Michelman, President of N.AR.A.L. seems to be moving in the direction of agreeing that abortion is murder by her statement that "[a]bortion is a bad thing."{09} Others who have at one time been heavily involved with abortion have later agreed, such as "Jane Roe" Norma McCorvey, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, and Carol Everett.
In addition, everyone who uses the term "fetus" unwittingly acknowledges that the unborn human is an unborn child because fetus is Latin for "unborn child." Unfortunately for the unborn child, the term fetus has fallen into use as a way of dehumanizing the unborn child, as shown by the primary use of this term by people when they are arguing for abortion rights, in comparison to when they are discussing a baby that is wanted by the mother.
Planned Parenthood admits: Life begins at conception
IN THE 1960'S, the terminology of medical texts had not yet been changed to dehumanize life in the womb. (The pregnant woman was "the mother" and the fetus was "the child" or "baby.") The legal and political system had not yet corrupted the scientific realities of life before birth.
In 1969 McGraw-Hill Inc. was publishing a book on Conception, Birth and Contraception and needed some input from an authority on the subject. It turned to Planned Parenthood and the Sex Information & Education Council of the United States (SIECUS).
"This book provides a solid base for understanding the anatomy of reproduction," wrote Mary S. Calderone, MD, Executive Director of SIECUS, in her Introduction to the 129-page book. "Access to such fine books as this one will assure our young people that ... finally adults are becoming willing to 'tell it like it is.'"
Similarly, "Dr. George Langmyhr of Planned Parenthood Federation of America ... reviewed the material on contraception," state authors Robert J. Demarest and John J. Sciarra, MD, PhD, in their Foreword.
Within the pages of Conception, Birth and Contraception, however, the pro-life position is presented with pictorial and verbal accuracy. The book clearly pushes contraceptives, with some faulty information on the safety of the IUD, etc., but the personhood of the unborn is fully supported throughout the text.
In fact, the book's own glossary definition of the term "fetus" begins with: "An unborn child." Pregnancy, likewise, is defined as: "The condition of being with child."
In the aftermath of Roe v. Wade, of course, today's Planned Parenthood -- largest abortion provider in the world -- would never admit that life begins at conception, or depict the infant in utero, in full-page illustrations, as a person. To do so, would suggest not only a violation of rights, but even murder, in the diabolical Roe v. Wade decision.
No doubt today's SIECUS, as well, would attempt to discredit the pro-life (factual) content of this "fine book" which it's leader in 1969 described so positively.
Some excerpts
Following are some excerpts from the book, approved by Planned Parenthood and SIECUS four years before the legalization of abortion:
"... at least one [sperm] will reach the egg, fertilize it, and conception will take place. A new life will begin." (page 15)
"... the egg which, if fertilized, gives rise to a new life." (page 3)
"From fertilization to delivery, mother and child are as one for approximately 266 days. At the end of the period the mother delivers the infant into the world ..." (page 3)
"It is the female who carries the baby during the nine months of its prenatal life." (page 17)
"However small it may be, the egg is about two thousand times as large as the sperm that must fertilize it. ...it carries the food the growing embryo will use during the first few days of its life." (page 26)
"... to grow within the mother." (page 32)
"The inherited characteristics of the baby to be born ... are determined by material within the egg and sperm ... each mature egg contains genetic material carrying the inheritable characteristics of the mother ... the child receives inherited characteristics from both parents." (page 50)
"The placenta ... transfers nourishment from the mother ...." (page 53)
"... ectopic pregnanc[ies] ... are dangerous to the mother and provide no possibility of a live child." (page 53)
"The growth of the baby within the uterus takes nine calendar months." (page 57)
"The sex ... could also be determined by examining under a microscope cells which are present in the amniotic fluid ... however, the doctor would have to puncture the amniotic cavity. This procedure is not undertaken except under very unusual circumstances having to do with the baby's health. So until the baby is delivered, no one knows whether it is a boy or a girl." (page 61)
"... the bloodstreams of mother and fetus ... never touch, and the blood in each remains separate. Oxygen and nutrients pass through the placenta, from the bloodstream of the mother to the fetus, and waste products from the fetus pass in the reverse direction into the bloodstream of the mother." (page 64) [i.e., the fetus is not part of the mother's body]
"... a doctor examining the mother can hear the fetal heartbeat ... The mother can feel the movement ... its arms and legs ..." (page 65)
"... the doctor may perform an operation called a cesarean section and remove the baby ..." (page 68)
".. its head is well down in the pelvic area of the mother -- the ideal position for it when the birth process begins." (page 68)
"The new life that has been growing within the mother for approximately nine months is now ready to enter the world. The passage of the baby through the birth canal is called delivery, and the process by which this is accomplished by the mother is called labor... Occasionally, a baby is born before thirty-eight weeks ... and the baby's chance of survival depends upon its weight and state of development at birth. When it is time for delivery, the mother begins to experience uterine contractions.... felt by the mother in her back ..." (page 72)

I saw a very scientific study in a conservative magazine (probably The American Spectator) which concluded that the democrats were (literally) killing their voting base. To summarize, the author said that most abortions are performed upon democrats (since Republicans are far more likely to be Pro-Life) and that, over the years, these unborn voters would have been more than sufficient to tip the scales in favor of the dems, particularly in a close election such as we had in 2000. This is small solace to compensate for the murder of innocents, but it was an interesting and well thought-out analysis.
Oustanding, cpforlife!
This would be a nice thread on which to collect many of the Dems' arguments on abortion-as-genocide.
That was their stand, you know, until the GOP had laid the foundation and was ready to give them their marching orders as the Litmus Test pro-aborts whose dysgenic constituents would off themselves in a show of Empowerment.
Pretty slick shell game they've got going there, no?
”This would be a nice thread on which to collect many of the Dems' arguments on abortion-as-genocide.” Yes it would. Do you (or anybody) have a list handy?
"That was their stand, you know, until the GOP had laid the foundation and was ready to give them their marching orders as the Litmus Test pro-aborts whose dysgenic constituents would off themselves in a show of Empowerment.”
Yes. It’s true that both political parties are guilty of this holocaust, and that the GOP was generally speaking, the forerunner on abortion as population control, specifically against the black population.
But it’s worse than NSSM200 etc.—FAR worse:
It was Father Robert Drinan, S. J., who, in 1964 formulated the luciferian "personally opposed to, but reluctantly vote for abortion," position at a Hyannisport meeting with Senators Ted and Robert Kennedy. Robert was running for the New York Senate seat and their political advisors wished to discuss the position a Catholic politician should take on abortion. This seems to have informed the politics of the Kennedy’s. See http://www.excommunication.net/Articles/Quislings.htm
And no doubt the Kennedy’s used this deception to corrupt the consciences of many in both parties.
”Pretty slick shell game they've got going there, no?”
Slick and Satanic.
That’s part of what brought me to the conclusion that the real hope for defeating the CULTure of death is comprehensive sanctity of Life education beginning in kindergarten and lasting through high school.
Three years after I started that PRO-LIFE EDUCATION PROGRAM I discovered that the USCCB thought the same thing and had actually devised a real plan.
Respect Life Curriculum Guidelines was published by the USCCB in 1977 after two years of development. It would have worked if it would have been implemented.
The reason it wasn’t implemented Askel is because of the man who was put in charge OF implementing it, then Msgr. James McHugh, Executive Secretary of the NCCB Committee for Pro-Life Activities.
Askel, I believe you know a few things about the late McHugh.
For those who don't know McHugh, he betrayed and abandoned the sanctity of Life education programs and instead ushered in sex education into the Catholic schools, even homosexual indoctrination for grade schoolers (back in the 1970's in some of the more "progressive" areas). Public sex-ed was formally condemned as far back as Pope St. Pius V at Trent (1500's) and repeatedly up until the 1960's.
A throughly researched and documented book was published detailing McHugh and several other religious leaders in promoting sex-ed of the most corruptive sort which greatly worked against the Pro-Life movement, and accelerated the breakdown of the traditional family.
Sex Education: The Final Plague should be read by all parents of young children. The Enemy is very much within.
