PLANNED PARENTHOOD RIPS BISHOPS
BILL DONOHUE ^ | August 19, 2009 | staff

Posted on 08/19/2009 2:33:27 PM PDT by kellynla

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments today on remarks made yesterday by Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood:

Planned Parenthood is getting restless knowing that its abortion-happy health care reforms are on the skids. Cecile Richards is now accusing the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops of seeking to make “American women second-class citizens.” And that’s just the danger they are doing at home. Abroad, “their hard-line opposition to women’s rights also endangers millions of women around the globe.” Why they haven’t been locked up, she does not say.

Richards was recently summoned to the White House to discuss health care reform. Is this the kind of advice she was given—to lash out at Catholic bishops? If not, then someone needs to rein her in before the whole health care package blows up in their face.

Richards is either ignorant or lying when she says “comprehensive reproductive health care [is] supported by the majority of Americans.” In fact, nearly two in three Americans (63 percent) favor laws preventing the use of taxpayer funds for abortions. But no matter, data never convince ideologues.

This is great. The American people are called fascists by U.S. Congressmen because they oppose the health care bills now on the table, and Catholic bishops are told by one of the leading proponents of health care reform that they are a threat to human rights. This is the politics of self-destruction on steroids.

Oh my goodness, that means the Bishops must be doing their jobs.

The demoncrats are all for a woman’s right to choose but when it comes to their socialist health care plan they don’t want anyone to choose.
Hypocrites.

What is PP’s stand on women’s rights in Saudi Arabia? Iran? Maurtius? Mauritania? One of the last two still has a half-million chattel slaves

“Cecile Richards is now accusing the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops of seeking to make ‘American women second-class citizens.’”

How? By trying to protect them from being killed in the womb?

Nice graph, AA! Illustrates well the fact that, among other things, abortion in the U.S. is genocide against Afro-Americans.

>> Cecile Richards is now accusing the ... Bishops of seeking to make “American women second-class citizens.”

Cecile Richards’ accusations are hypocritical. How many females has Richards’ organization killed? And let’s not forget the males.

Planned Parenthood specializes in the killing of humans that have not been granted the rights of U.S. Citizenship.

Bishops...don your armor! Stand your ground on the sanctity of life.

Reach down into the parishes and gather your forces. Empower the Priests as commanders, and have them bring their congregations to join the Town Hall protesters.

Now is the time to fire up that sleeping giant!

I believe that those Bishops rightly answer to "a higher authority" than this Richards character...

Any Catholic citizen worth their salt should be attending these town hall meetings on their own and join the 40 Days for Life movement this fall.
