San Francisco, CA -- Teenagers in the United States are having abortions in fewer numbers than at any time since Roe v. Wade and are more pro-life than older Americans. That means fewer customers for Planned Parenthood, but the abortion business has come up with a corporate marketing plan to lure teens with free iPods and movie tickets. Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, the center that gave teenager Holly Patterson the dangerous abortion drug that killed her, is leading the way with the new marketing scheme.
Anyone who makes an appointment at one of the eight PPGG centers before April 30, 2006, can enter to win an iPod.
A poster announcing another Planned Parenthood program, called “Tell-A-Friend,” includes a photograph of a teenage girl whispering into the ear of another teen and telling. The text of the ad reads: "Get free movie tickets? Yes. When you tell a friend about Planned Parenthood."
"These are some of the schemes Planned Parenthood is using to lure teenagers into its deadly facilities,” said Douglas Scott, president of Life Decisions International, a group that organizes boycotts of companies that contribute to the abortion business.
“Now which age group is most likely to be swayed by this kind of gimmick?” Scott asked. “This incentive is clearly aimed at young people.”
“Planned Parenthood has resorted to common corporate tactics in an effort to get young people to encourage their peers to voluntarily become the pro-abortion group's new victims," he said.
In the tell a friend campaign, teens are asked to obtain a special card at a Planned Parenthood center or download one from their web site. The promoter gets two free movie passes redeemable at any United Artist theater and the friend receives $10 off her first visit.
Other Planned Parenthood abortion businesses other than PPGG are using the campaign as well, including the Planned Parenthood ffiliate network in Colorado.
Scott said the cards are also offensive because they include graphics from a cartoon video PPGG produced calling for violence against pro-life advocates. A superhero in the cartoon asks abortion advocates to participate in the "elimination" of pro-life people and shoots them with a ray gun.
"Just like any other business, a key target group for Planned Parenthood is young people,” Scott said. "And once a teenager is hooked, he or she can prove to be a good source of income for many years to come.”
LDI is currently investigating to determine if United Artists donated the tickets to Planned Parenthood or if they were purchased by the group. The pro-life group has not yet called for a boycott of the movie theater company.

"Nonsense ... I didn't force them to sin and not repent."
Ah, but you KNOW that a certain percentage of them will, and would never have had the chance to were it not for you.
I suppose some day we will find out which is worse, turning a blind eye to those who would deny an infinitesimally short time known as life on earth, or knowingly and intentionally consigning some to an eternity in hell.
Money, money, money! Think of the money we could have saved if we just nuked every city in the ME that had a terrorist in it.
Alright!, another clairvoyant, omniscient FReeper. Are you running for god in the next election? You should be on the ballot.
Is that the deal you're offering babies? GovernmentShrinker needs something better for his campaign. Economic salvation for the baby killers probably won't poll as well as Salvation for murdered babies.
Logically then the only compassionate thing is to kill all babies before they're "conscious." Any other choice would be inherently evil.
I suppose if you've already resigned yourself to going to hell, you're not a very compasionate person anyway.
I didn't make the rules, go argue with God.
So some stupid teenage girl is going to get pregnant have a "government entity" paid abortion and get a FREE ipod.
sweet!

Sick, sick sick
Is that your final decision on my dispensation?
I was refering to those who might think about following your "advise" in your post 145 , but hey, whereever you feel you're going is your business between you and God.
It was a straightforward application of your logic not my advice. Since following your logic to its conclusion, regardless of where or to whom it's applied, leads to wholesale slaughter where is the compassion in it?
Never said there was, lets check back on the thread .... Hhmmm .... seems like the first person to label it compassionate was Tigerseye.
But tossing souls into eternal hell is not particularly compassionate act to do to your creation either, so maybe it's part of the whole " in the image of " thing.
You STILL haven't said whether you support or oppose preventing the murder of newborn babies, which makes it possible for them to go to Hell. Will you ever say?
And as for my responsibility: God could bring about the in-utero death of anyone He wanted, and thus spare them the risk of going to Hell, so you have at least as much of a beef with Him as with me.
So one will go to Hell for killing a preconscious baby, even though you say that act assures that baby of Heaven? Sounds contradictory to me.
"Sounds contradictory to me."
Now that you mention it, does to me also ...
Another thing I'll have to have him 'splain ....
... but I'm not surprised, if HE created everything, then he designed hell also along with a process whereby it would become populated.
Yes, I did say that. That it was in accordance with your logic.
But tossing souls into eternal hell is not particularly compassionate act to do to your creation either, so maybe it's part of the whole " in the image of " thing.
I don't know. I'll leave it to you to speak for God and judge his actions. I'll stick to responding to what posters on this thread have to say for themselves.
I didn't make the rules, go argue with God.
"Thou shalt not commit murder." Wasn't that one of God's rules?
God is making the promise of heaven, you propose to force a path which may wind up in an eternity of hell.
Isn't another of his rules "Thou shalt not bear false witness?" Not being a student of the Bible I'm not sure where it says that if you save someone's life you are then responsible for their soul's ultimate destination. Apparently you're more familiar with the passages that reference that.
What a handy excuse. You have just laid off everything you have stated on that big "if." Nice to leave yourself an out like that.
My bad; there's no contradiction there, as the good end does not justify the evil means. The contradiction is between the idea that one will go to Hell for killing a preconscious baby and the idea that it's wrong to prevent that killing. It's clear to me that the proper way to resolve that contradiction is to reject the rather silly notion that it's wrong to prevent that killing.
he designed hell also along with a process whereby it would become populated.
He created our free will, which some of us use to choose Hell.
""Thou shalt not commit murder." Wasn't that one of God's rules?"
Yep, but I didn't see any " Thou shalt become an enforcer of whatever you think my rules mean against all others." in the list.
