Former supermodel Kathy Ireland backs effort to end Planned Parenthood funding

by Patrick B. Craine Fri May 27, 2011

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 27, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Former supermodel, now pro-life advocate, Kathy Ireland added her voice this week to those calling on Congress to eliminate federal funding of Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider.

Kathy Ireland“I think Planned Parenthood needs to reassess and look at what their values are, what their mission is, what their goals are, and do they deserve government funding? For example, there are non-profits that I’m involved with, and we don’t get government funding,” Ireland told FoxNews.

“We go out there, and if you really believe in this strongly enough to fight it for it, go get the funding,” she continued. “To force people who don’t agree with some of the practices, I don’t believe in that. I don’t think taxpayers need to fund something as controversial as [Planned Parenthood].”

Ireland, who became famous in the 1980s and 1990s through numerous appearances on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit edition, has become an ardent promoter of the right to life in the last decade or so.

Supermodels against Planned Parenthood.

I don't think Planned Parenthood will win this battle.

If she asked me to fetch a penny from the bottom of a pig sty I’d hurdle the fence.

Freud would have a field day with the Planned Parenthood types, and their neurotic fixation with other people's genitals, particularly youngsters' genitalia. These Genital Grifters are sniffing around kids genitals in K-12 grades.

The corporate crooks at defunct Enron would love Planned Parenthood's Pump and Dump "genital synergy" business model. In PP's chain of clean, state-approved abortion chambers, these oddball genital sniffers, dispose of its family planning flops. Taxpayers are then duped into coughing up more tax dollars to fund Planned Parenthood's creepy preoccupation with our genitalia.

The oddball Planned Parenthood organization sucks up huge amounts of tax dollars. Planned Parenthood is a billion dollar business that rakes in 1/3 of its budget from state and federal govt grants---tax dollars----and is committing massive govt fraud.

In NJ alone, the US Inspector General found that NJ Planned Parenthood falsified Medicaid claims to get their hands on $2.9 million tax dollars they were not entitled to.

No thanks. We don't need no tax-paid genital plug-ins from these weirdos.

I used to have a life size cardboard standup of Kathy Ireland. It was a Budweiser promo for St. Patrick’s Day.

Last time I saw her on TV, she was still hot. I had her poster up on the wall 20 years ago.

Miss Ireland has been a long-time advocate of Pro Life causes (which explains why you never hear of her in the pop media anymore)

I think she is a VERY successful business woman too, if my memory serves me...designing funiture?

This explains why she is never in the media!

Beauty, brains and morality. Quite the combo.

“Kathy Ireland added her voice this week...”

Years ago saw a MSTK3 show - “Santa vs. The Martians”? Anyway - some weird Santa movie. A very young and pretty Kathy Ireland was an elf IIRC. And her voice was this squeaky chirp of a thing - it was pretty funny to have such an awful voice come out of such a beautiful face. I imagine she worked on it or grew out of it.

She also never fully revealed herself either

One of the very few models who never did nudes
