Planned Parenthood is less about women's health than it is about providing the last ditch form of birth control for those women who fail to practice adequate contraception. Unless rape is involved, the woman is in control of what happens in these situations.
The so-called Women's Liberation Movement has essentially given license to women to be as sexually active as many men in this degenerating culture. If you need help conceptualizing or visualizing that, think the sleazy TV production Sex In The City. I forced myself to watch a few episodes just to be sure what I'm about to say is as correct as it is politically incorrect. It portrays 4 quintessential women libbers who spend much of their time bed-hopping among various partners.
Putting aside the shared problem of STD's borne by BOTH partners, until the Supreme Court decides that true equality demands that MEN also be allowed to give birth (we can expect that decision next term), women bear the unique consequence of a planning error or contraception failure called pregnancy. And the more sexually promiscuous they are, the greater the risk of a planning error or contraception failure and an unwanted pregnancy.
The solution to that problem came in 1973 in Roe v. Wade and the availability of abortions. Let's call it what it really is: The killing of a baby in the former sanctity and safety of its mother's womb. Many folks don't know this, but the plaintiff, Norma McCorvey, said that her greatest sin, greater even than her sins of selling drugs, cheating people and being an abusive alcoholic, was to be "the plaintiff in Roe V. Wade." In repentance, she was baptized by a fundamentalist minister and joined the anti-abortion group, Operation Rescue. (She never DID have that abortion but delivered the baby and adopted it out.)
I recently watched FOX Network News commentator Charles Payne discuss the Planned Parenthood scandal. He echoed the very sentiment with which I planned to close this rant. If you don't know him, Charles is a highly intelligent gentleman who overcame a hardknock ghetto youth to become a successful investment adviser. He is also black. I note that simply to further legitimize his comment.
The token progressive member of the panel offered that Planned Parenthood performed not just abortions, but OTHER much needed women's health services and defunding them and forcing them to halt abortion would cause them to close those nearby inner city facilities. Charles quickly responded that those non-abortion services were available from local hospitals and real health clinics. He added that the unavailability of quick and inexpensive abortions might have the effect of CAUSING THOSE INNER CITY GIRLS TO RETHINK THEIR SEXUAL ACTIVITIES. It might even help to bring some much needed stability back to those inner-city families.
In a nation where we have been killing babies for 42 years, this is just some grossly politically incorrect food for thought as we approach what I pray is the DEFUNDING of the euphemistically named Planned Parenthood.
UnParenthood. The womb has become nothing more than a manufacturing industry, only the women still have to pay. PP gets paid twice.
It is most assuredly NOT merely the result of a failure to “practice adequate contraception.” It is the result of a failure to practice virtue and fidelity as it is comprehended in the married estate. The LGBT movement and abortion are only two consequences of not speaking up and not teaching the right things, and of not exercising discipline in the interest of civility.
Planned Parenthood is about eugenics, pure and simple.
