Christmas cards soiled with death
Freeport Ink (Illinois) | 1 Dec 05 | Me

Posted on 12/01/2005 10:32:36 AM PST by Mr. Silverback

How would you like to receive (or buy and send) Christmas cards from the NRA with the message “Peace on Earth through the use of magnum hollow points?” How about a set of “Jesus loves welfare reform” cards from the American Conservative Union? A card from David Duke wishing you and yours “an all-white Christmas?” Or AFL-CIO cards that reminding those on your Christmas card list that the Christ Child was wrapped in swaddling clothes proudly made in the USA by members of United Textile Workers Local 402?

Sorry if I got your hopes up, because none of those particular cards are available, though the NRA folks do sell some nice non-political cards with Terry Redlin paintings on them. But if you’d like to send a card that promotes abortion on demand, I have something right up your alley. Planned Parenthood is selling Christmas cards again this year.

Yes, you read that right. Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the United States (or on the planet, for that matter) is selling holiday cards with the uplifting message “Choice on Earth.” The inside message reads, “Warmest wishes for a peaceful holiday.” I guess they can put that message in there because they know that children in the womb (who they are anything but peaceful toward) don’t read Christmas cards. The cards are also available with “Peace Hope Justice” on the cover. An organization whose core competency is turning small children into medical waste has as much business selling “Peace Hope and Justice” cards as Enron has going into the retirement planning business.

Of course, if you already have purchased your Christmas cards, you could always do your Christmas shopping at their online store (located at www.plannedparenthood.com/pp2/portal/store/) where you can find any number of delightful items to stuff those stockings. For example, there’s the “Choice is sexy” short sleeve tee. Yes, what could be more arousing than evacuating “products of conception” from the womb? And for the littlest ones on your list, don’t forget the “Brought to you by Planned Parenthood” baby onesies and “Choice” baby beanie hats. Of course, I figure those clothing items are the equivalent of taking out your Sharpie and writing “Brought to you by Trim-Rite” on the side of a pig, but it’s your money.

Some readers will be offended by my remarks above. But what could be more brazen and offensive than trying to turn the celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace into a celebration of the death of 40 million innocent kids? What could be more hypocritical than the folks who brought you “keep your rosaries off my ovaries” deciding to play the Jesus card? The Left in general has been making desperate attempts to churchify their movement, because it turns out they really believe their own press about conservatism being run by religious zealots and therefore they want to rescue Christianity from us. Getting religion saves the Left from having to defend the disastrous effects of their policies here in the earthly realm: “It doesn’t seem to work, but trust me, God likes it.” But don’t forget, only conservatives can be theocrats trying to mix politics and religion.

The abortion movement has followed the trend: Planned Parenthood recently added a chaplain to their senior staff, presumably so they can have a teacher who will tell them what their itching ears want to hear.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not even angry about it. I feel great sadness for all the women the abortion movement has damaged, but I think all this gear (don’t forget the “I had an abortion” T-shirts) is a sign of a movement that is dying off in the age of ultrasound. They want to be in our faces with it, because when you come right down to it, being in our faces is the only thing they’ve got left.

Since not even the most irreligious person would back killing a child, abortion is only a religious subject to the extent that people of religious faith are involved in the debate, but since the folks at Planned Parenthood want to stake out religious ground, I’ll close with two Nativity-related questions:

If an unmarried teen girl from a poor community is romantically involved with an older man and finds herself pregnant, what would Planned Parenthood advise her to do? What worth would they place on her offspring’s life?

And does the “choice” Planned Parenthood loves so much borrow from “let the little children come to me” or does it have more of a King Herod vibe?

Oh... I just reread my earlier post and I meant to send a "Christmas" card with the slogan "Peace through Firepower" would be blasphemous since I guess I'm a bit serious about the holiness of God, his Son, the Spirit and his birth, death and resurrection.

Yep. Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men extnds to abortionists,

Actually, Mr Silverback, I believe the correct translation is: "...and on Earth, Peace to Men of Good Will!" which would definitely exclude abortionists!

Unbelievable. This is so disgusting, I can barely believe it's true. Then again, considering their goals, of course it's true. Trying to convince people they care about babies is all they have left: deception.

You beat me to it! Mrs. Reb and I have been sending NRA Christmas cards for several years as well. They have a very nice variety, ranging from carefully neutral to very religious, and all of the artwork is beautiful.

Took a look at their store. This is really something:


Mifepristone, The Abortion Pill "Grabbit" Pen Holders

Both fun and functional - you'll never be without a pen when you have the Mifepristone Grabbit pen holder around your neck. And they convey an important message!

The copy on the pen holder reads:

It's Safe. It's Private. And it's finally here.

Sold in groups of 12 pen holders per package, you'll receive three of each of the following exciting assorted colors: turquoise, orange, and green.


Wow. $27 abortion pill pen holders! "Fun and functional!" ?!?!?!?! Someone on FR said yesterday "If God doesn't visit us soon, he is going to owe Sodom and Gomorrah and apology." I wish I could properly credit that person.

Who knows: perhaps some will see the Light and be Saved!!!

Credit is due!

Evangelist Billy Graham made a comment that went something like this, “If God does not do something soon about the degeneracy of the United States, He will owe Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.”

Don't you think that it is ironic that they need a public affairs person for something like murder?

How long do you think it will be before Planned Parenthood starts selling Christmas cards with a picture of Mary holding the infant Jesus with the caption: "She should have had a choice."?

:-(

A++ column, Mr. Silverback. This part struck a nerve:
The abortion movement has followed the trend: Planned Parenthood recently added a chaplain to their senior staff, presumably so they can have a teacher who will tell them what their itching ears want to hear.

Kind of reminds me of OT kings, particularly pharaoh, who listened to and believed false prophets instead of those really sent by God, because it matched their agenda.

Thank you!!! I didn't realize I was reading a quote. But it sure stuck with me. Especially when I read things like this.

Naah, too inappropriate, unless your mum is a crazy lib. How's about a a little letter to PP instead?

"Hey, Planned Infanticide,

Glad my mom didn't look your way for advice on what to do with me. (Raspberries).

Love,
Someone Alive (no thanks to you)

Well, their "holiday" cards are one place I actually "like" the replacement. Don't soil Christ's name like that.

Planned Parenthood sends "Holiday" cards during the Christmas season
advocating and promoting their infanticide program?

Well, in addition to having no souls they have no taste either. Surprise, surprise...

"I think Joseph would have whacked them with a 2 X 4, and Mary would have cheered him on." LOL! But since the whole family is in the salvation business, I suppose she would have tried to reach out to the soulless sinner's soul:

"You ready to repent now?" (Whack.) "Now?" (Whack.)

Seemed to work with me....
