Planned Parenthood Thanksgiving Dinner Conversation Guide: Promote Abortion
Life News ^ | 11/25/09 | Steven Ertelt

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- When Americans gather around their dinner tables with friends and family tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving, they will catch up on the latest family chatter and probably talk about sports and the weather. But, Planned Parenthood's president has a suggestion for those who need a topic for discussion.

In an email today to supporters of the abortion business, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards unveiled her own Thanksgiving dinner conversation guide.

"I don't know how things are at your Thanksgiving table, but in my house we don't just make small talk," she writes, saying she is "committed to having real conversations" that invariably turn to abortion. It is Thanksgiving "conversations like these that help" promote her pro-abortion agenda, she says, suggesting that abortion advocates follow her lead.

"If your family is anything like mine, you'll want to be prepared to converse thoughtfully. Here's some help — a guide to dinner table conversation," Richards says.

Richards links to a Planned Parenthood web page urging members to help their family "avoid dirty politics by sticking to these points. If 'turkey talk' turns to health care reform, stand ready -- we've got you covered."

The page lists several talking points on the topic of abortion funding in health care that covers the Stupak amendment added to the House government-run bill to remove abortion funding and the phony Capps amendment Harry Reid put in the Senate bill to include massive abortion funding in it.

"If Uncle Bill wants to debate, here are a few points he will have a tough time responding to: Stupak amounts to nothing less than an unacceptable 'middle-class abortion ban,'" Planned Parenthood advises saying. "If this bill becomes law, millions of middle class women will be prohibited from buying, through the exchange, private insurance that covers abortion, a legal medical procedure."

The Planned Parenthood page urges activists to tell their family that some members of the House who supported the Stupak amendment are experiencing "buyer's remorse" and that "President Obama has indicated the Stupak goes too far."

"Members of Congress have been saying in public interviews that they didn't realize the impact of Stupak before they voted for this proposal. Now that they have come to fully appreciate the impact of the Stupak ban, they are indicating that Stupak went to far," it continues.

The Thanksgiving dinner conversation suggestion page urges activists to tell their family that health care reform "must include abortion" and that "Planned Parenthood must be part of the Exchange."

Richards says the conversation guide is great for responding to occasions where "Aunt Gladys asks you questions," but given polls showing most Americans oppose being forced to pay for abortions under their health care plan, Richards's suggestions for answer may give Americans an upset stomach.

Klan Barrenhood and their allies have successfully murdered an innocent American child EVERY 24 SECONDS for nearly 37 years and now they are demanding money to kill even more.

Real great way to alienate yourself from the family.

Only a demented fanatic would advocate the death of the unborn on a day intended for giving thanks to the Almighty God.

“I don’t know about taking a Kirby Vacuum sweeper to the arms and legs of little babies. And the afterbirth is a real mess. Could someone pass the mashed potatoes, please?”

That comment would end inappropriate table talk. And the men could always show their vasectomy scar.

I'm sure President AbortObama will be discussing this during his meal. Kill a Baby and pass the Arugula.

Aunt Gladys. I love it. These days it’s more likely to be the young people who are pro-life.

If someone tries to promote abortion at my family dinner they will rue the day.

Such cheerful mealtime conversation!

“I do SO love to eliminate my fetal tissue at the 44th Street ChopNSuk, where they give me 20% off if I refer them to my friends and loved ones.”

Relativism seemed so benign when it was first suggested.

“Mmm Aunt Bee, the cranberry sauce is delicious. You know, human embryos in the womb are worth a lot less than your pomeranian under the table, and should be killed on a whim.”

Cecile Richards probably has a pamphlet prepared for distribution BEFORE THANKSGIVING that extolls the virtues of roasting a baby rather than an innocent turkey.

There's no one associated with that organization is is even passably human.

Over 50 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICANS have been MURDERED since January, 1973 -- only demented fanatics would dream of celebrating this and asking for more.

If you have ever seen a sonogram and you support abortion, then you are the monster not conservatives. Fetuses are living human babies with separate DNA from the mother. As science improves we are able to save ever younger premature babies.

I have never been baptized and I do not in any way believe in Christianity but I believe absolutely that fundamental human rights begin at conception.

When it comes to any abortion debate,
a photo is worth a million words.

Makes sure you print one off or have one in your cell phone ready to whip out during such silliness. When it comes to murder of an innocent babe, there is nothing that could ever justify it. Ever. Ever.

Yes, ever.

"If Uncle Bill wants to debate, here are a few points he will have a tough time responding to: Stupak amounts to nothing less than an unacceptable 'middle-class abortion ban, If this bill becomes law, millions of middle class women will be prohibited from buying, through the exchange, private insurance that covers abortion, a legal medical procedure."

So abortion should be covered because simply because it's legal?

OK, let's look at a few other things that used to be legal:

- slavery
- prohibiting women from voting
- it was legal for men to beat their wives

Legal does equate to *right*.

I'm not paying for another's immoral act.

"Members of Congress have been saying in public interviews that they didn't realize the impact of Stupak before they voted for this proposal. Now that they have come to fully appreciate the impact of the Stupak ban, they are indicating that Stupak went to far,"

So you're admitting that our government officials are uninformed, rushed and not qualified to write health care policy? Perhaps, if they don't know what they're doing, they shouldn't be doing it.

In our house, it wouldn't be Uncle Bill or Aunt Gladys arguing the pro-life points. It would be my 17 year-old daughter pounding the table, snarling about the sacrifice of women on the alter of Feminism and the Abortion Agenda and declaring (with flashing eyes) WAR on perpetrators of the "unethical extermination of *my* generation"...

She's quite a pistol. :-)

I think that young people are more aware than most of us realize that a third of their generation has been systematically exterminated in the pursuit of "choice and convenience".
