Planned Parenthood of New York City (PPNYC) has put out a press release indicating it is offering free abortions for a limited time in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the city.
Following the example of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) which over the past few years has used tragic events to target stricken communities with "reproductive health kits"-- including abortifacient drugs and devices-- PPNYC is offering "complete reproductive health care from September 18-22 free of cost." The press release by PPNYC lists among the "services" they provide "birth control; emergency contraception; medical and surgical abortion."
As recently as last month, LifeSite reported that pro-life groups in El Salvador were blasting the UNFPA for using the tragedy caused by recent devastating earthquakes in the country to promote abortion. UNFPA sent reproductive health kits including abortifacient morning-after-pills and vacuum aspirators used for early term abortions. Julia Cardenal, president of "Si A La Vida" (Yes to Life) told Cybercast News Service, "We had two major earthquakes in El Salvador in January and February of this year, and instead of sending us food or medicine, or something to meet our needs, they sent a range of contraception devices."
