Planned Parenthood is in search of a makeover. For years, the organization has been the biggest abortionist in the business, but as abortion is losing its cachet, Planned Parenthood is trying to reinvent itself. It seems that killing children for cash is just not as fashionable as it used to be.
According to Stephanie Simon of the Wall Street Journal, Planned Parenthood wants to "[open] new avenues for boosting revenue and, they hope, political clout." The first step in the organization's redo involves marketing itself to customers in a higher income bracket. Planned Parenthood is building new centers with larger waiting areas, wooden floors, nice lighting and other amenities which create a more inviting environment and, presumably, make clients feel less shameful about the act they are contemplating. A new "green" clinic is going up in Massachusetts, made of recycled and earth-friendly materials. "Express centers" are being located in malls so that young women can have quick and easy access to birth control, tests for sexually transmitted diseases and counseling. Gift shops make the centers more appealing to their young clientele.
In its early years Planned Parenthood was directed by Margaret Sanger who advocated for a "right" for women to choose to kill their unborn children. She also promoted a Congressional plan which would, in part, "apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."
Sanger wanted to use reproductive controls to halt the "vicious cycle" of poverty and ignorance. She argued, "There is only one cure for both, and that is to stop breeding these things. Stop bringing to birth children whose inheritance cannot be one of health or intelligence. Stop bringing into the world children whose parents cannot provide for them. Herein lies the key of civilization."
Sanger advocated "choice" as a tool for eugenics. "Only upon a free, self-determining motherhood can rest any unshakable structure of racial betterment." Yet she did not believe that this exalted idea of choice should apply to "the undeniably feeble-minded." In other words, Sanger thought the mentally handicapped should be sterilized by force, people should be sterilized to remove unwanted traits from the populace, and the country should seek racial perfection.
Planned Parenthood's modern advocacy of "choice" is rooted in Sanger's lack of regard for the rights of the unborn. Sanger saw "choice" as a means of perfecting America through the destruction of millions of unborn children. Planned Parenthood perpetuates Sanger's legacy by presenting "choice" as a means of improving the lives of individuals and communities by eliminating unwanted, "inconvenient" children. Its clinics dispose of over 200,000 such children per year. The number of abortions provided by Planned Parenthood hit an all-time high in the 2005-2006 fiscal year.
This high body count, no doubt, is part of the reason Planned Parenthood wants to change its abortion-centered public image. Nevertheless, the organization will not quit providing abortions or discourage them. Rather, it is hoping to hide its assault on human life behind nice new amenities. Apparently it believes that comfortable furniture, soft lighting and convenient locations will help people forget what goes on behind the closed doors of the surgical ward.
The new "green" Planned Parenthood building is, perhaps, the most ironic element of its remodeling plan. The organization proudly proclaims its concern for the environment even as it destroys more human beings than any other group in America. Planned Parenthood is the most infamous organization in an industry which kills more than twice as many Americans per year as cancer. By "going green," Planned Parenthood is attempting to hide its true color, red—the color of the blood produced by its daily death toll.
Worthy of note is the fact that federal and state grants make up about a third of Planned Parenthood's funding. Another third is provided by private donors. By remolding its image, the merchants of death are, no doubt, hoping to increase the share that comes from both. Branding is, after all, key to the success of any fundraising campaign.
This is one makeover, however, that just won't work. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make you want to kiss it. No matter how hard Planned Parenthood tries to dress it up, abortion still kills children and hurts women.
Indeed he has.
Planned Parenthood says: THE WORST OF JOHN MCCAIN PLAYLIST
McCain has voted consistently against women's health, and he supports overturning the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Roe v. Wade. These positions will make it difficult for him to win over moderate pro-choice voters in the general election.WRT Title X, Planned Parenthood says:
McCain opposed Title X, the nation's family planning program. In 1990, McCain voted NO on legislation to extend the Title X federal family planning program, which provides low-income and uninsured women and families with health care services ranging from breast and cervical cancer screening to birth control.So shall we believe the sour grapes of a follower of (well who was it the EV supporterd? Guiliani? Romney? Ru-Paul?) a failed candidate or the evil scum themselves?
“Gift shops make the centers more appealing to their young clientele.”
1. DEATH. The mother of all gifts.
2. The gift you give your selfish self.
3. Infanticide. When the reality of motherhood just won’t do.
4. Try our Gift Shop, when you need something for someone who has experienced everything—except waiting for a committed spouse.
5. Who’s your Daddy’s baby killer? We’re here for you.
6. “Free mp3 downloads while we shred and incinerate that innocent child, while you wait.”
7. Nevermind the statutory rape, hush your mouth child.

I think he did vote for Title X in 2007.
“These positions will make it difficult for him to win over moderate pro-choice voters in the general election.”
Um, since when were there “moderate pro-choice voters”? Does that mean that you have to be actively homicidal to count as liberal?
Over 40 million babies, about 15 million of them black, have been killed since Roe v. Wade. Black people who support the Democrats also support its platform of black genocide. Wake up people!
Indeed. When it comes to infanticide, how can one be ‘moderate’?
Go read the bill yourself.
It gave almost three hundred million of the American taxpayer's dollars to the Planned Parenthood ghouls.
Senator John McCain voted "Aye."
I'll await your apology for unjustly calling me a liar. I'm sure that since you're a committed Christian one will be forthcoming.
(Sec. 507) Prohibits the expenditure of funds appropriated under this Act, or in any trust fund to which funds are appropriated under this Act, for abortions or for health benefits coverage that includes coverage of abortion, with exceptions specified in section 508 of this Act.
Telling a partial truth when the intent is to harm is the same as a lie. Senator McCain opposed Title X until it restrained abortion mills. Planned Parenthood hates John McCain for his pro-life work. Telling the ‘truth’ the way you did is simply calumny, worthy only of contempt.
You seem to be right, thanks for the clarification.
Defund this murderous organization NOW!!!!!
One of the reasons Senators so rarely get to the nominee status are games like this. The legislative process is complex and filled with compromises. Trust me, the left hates McCain. Badly. Their (un)Holy Grail is abortion and he threatens that via the SCOTUS. The fear him more than anyone else right now.
Senator John McCain voted in favor of Title X projects not even counseling women on abortion, as if the option didn’t even exist anymore. If you are pregnant and go into Planned Parenthood, a reproductive health care facility located in a hospital, which make up six percent of Title X projects or health department, 57 percent, and are seeking information about your options as far as pregnancy or not going through with your pregnancy, John McCain voted to make Title X projects refuse to even bring up the option of abortion. In his eyes you have two choices–you are either delivering and raising the child or delivering and giving the child up for adoption.Apologize at your leisure. If you can.
Your sources stink. How can you use them without hanging your head in shame?
When you give Planned Parenthood hundreds of millions of dollars to pay their staff, pay their mortgages, and keep the lights on, the claim that the money isn’t going to support abortions is a sorry figleaf of the worst sort.
I’m sorry to see you participating in the Big Lie.
Which pro-abort sources are you going to trot out to try and paper over McCain’s support for using the body parts of murdered babies for “scientific” experimentation and the snuffing out of the new lives of babies that are still at the embryonic stage of development?
I’ll watch for your contortions of the truth with interest.
