Planned Parenthood superhero terminates Christian protesters. Also drowns promoter of abstinence in animated video pushing 'safe is sexy' message.
An online animated video sponsored by Planned Parenthood's San Francisco-area branch features a superhero character drowning an abstinence promoter in a trash can and blasting into oblivion several pro-life picketers protesting in front of one of the organization's facilities. The eight-minute "Superhero for Choice," posted on the Planned Parenthood Golden Gate website, has a bespectacled black woman in San Francisco morphing into a red-suited flying enforcer, bent on making the world safe for the organization's values.
Viewers see three teenagers talking with an ugly green-faced man sporting a top hat and bow tie who tries to tell the kids abstinence is the only sure way to protect against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. The teen girl rebuts the man, naming several birth-control methods.
Retorts the little green man: "Those are instruments from the devil's toolbox!" The superhero arrives in time to fill a trash can with water and dump the pro-abstinence character into it, slamming the cover down. After the man's muffled voice eventually dies off, the superhero tosses the teens a "safe sex kit," reminding the kids: "Safe is sexy!"
The "Superhero for Choice," dubbed Dianisis, next confronts a group of protesters in front of a Planned Parenthood facility. They, too, are ugly and have green faces, carrying signs that say, "Pray for thy sins." Religious protesters get blasted. The superhero character uses a "condom gun" that catches each protester in a prophylactic bubble, which subsequently explodes. Though she admits the protesters have a First Amendment right to picket, she glories in the fact that people can now visit the Planned Parenthood facility unimpeded.
The flying superhero then travels to Washington, D.C., where she puts a giant condom on the Washington Monument and confronts a Southern senator who is stricken with "misinformed conservatism." The woman's final stop is a village in Africa, where she talks to a doctor working to stem HIV/AIDS and to make sure "every child is a wanted child." The superhero remarks before leaving: "I have an appointment with the Rev. Jerry Falwell that schmuck."
Jim Sedlak, executive director of American Life League's STOPP International, decried the Planned Parenthood animated piece. "With its latest marketing gimmick Planned Parenthood is glamorizing violence against people of faith," Sedlak said in a statement. "The hatred and religious bigotry demonstrated by Planned Parenthood in this video are shocking and offensive."
Sedlak says the video could encourage people to act out the violence shown. "In this post-9/11 era of terrorism, Planned Parenthood has recklessly crossed the line by promoting violence against people who do not share the organization's radical beliefs," said Sedlak. "Planned Parenthood's actions are reprehensible, because there is no guarantee that someone viewing this video might not act on its suggestions and instigate violence against people of faith." Commented blogger Dawn Eden: "Now, I ask you, if the American Life League's website featured a cartoon depicting an ALL superhero blowing up nonviolent Planned Parenthood activists, would Planned Parenthood just shrug it off?
"I think we all know what would happen. There would be an uproar." American Life League wants heads to roll over the video. Said Sedlak: "American Life League demands that Planned Parenthood publicly reveal the names of all persons involved in the development and posting of this outrageous material and immediately dismiss all individuals involved from their positions as employees or volunteers. We also demand that Planned Parenthood issue a public apology without delay to pro-life Christians everywhere for inciting violence against them." While Planned Parenthood refers countless women for abortions across the nation, the word "abortion" is not mentioned in the film. Planned Parenthood Golden Gate is a consortium of eight clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area. Repeated calls to the organization's administrative offices were not returned by press time.
'A Superhero for Choice' confronts abstinence promoter.
Religious protesters get blasted.
Keeping the world safe from babies.How brave.Keeping the rich and evil bathing in the blood of babies. How noble.
Why worry about that? It didn't stop the fellows who made these cartoons
Ahh, the genius of the left....To create the shrill death dealers below, you really have to begin in early childhood. These are the kind of whack-jobs NARAL and Planned Barrenhood are increasingly dependent on.
Moral Absolutes Ping.
What do you think? What I think can't really be stated without me being banned or at least suspended.
What disgusts me is that tax dollars go to PP.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
The evil PP does and promotes has hardened their hearts and befuddled their intelligence so much that they will never, ever see how reprehensible and psychotic their message is. They have no respect for any of the principles upon which this country, or indeed, human civilization, is founded.
They love death, they love unbridled hedonism, they love rebellion against every natural law, every bit of modesty, decency, every quality that separates humans from animals.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
I think they took the file down...
Very interesting. I was thinking a combination of the goddesses Diana and Isis. Either way, making sub-demi-gods the worshipable ones.
I agree. Basically our bodies are "loaners" and we have to treat them respectfully, as well as those belonging to others.
The classical gods of ancient mythology are always at your service to propagate the principles of debauchery and licentiousness.
But Maggie rehabilitates so easy don't she.
Well, I tried to discuss it with my cats. But I never got any reply beyond mrowrlr. Which I think is feline for "only humans could be stupid enough to think up abortion."
Once upon a time, maybe. But the dinosaurs no longer can filter the truth.
