Planned Parenthood 'Celebrates' Roe v. Wade (PROJECTILE VOMITING ALERT)

Under the heavily ironic heading "Behind Every Choice is a Story," Planned Parenthood is advertising an artwork and poster contest "celebrating 30 years of choice."

Serrin Foster, with Feminists for Life, is concerned about the images in the minds of women who have suffered through an abortion.

"And I think what they're going to miss are the untold stories of women who've had abortions and all the millions of young men and young women who aren't with us this year," Foster said. "The thoughts that they're going to have on the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade imagining the children that they will never know."

Roe v. Wade is the 1973 case that the U.S. Supreme Court used to legalize abortion on demand.

The call for contest entries proclaims, "Each entrant can share the satisfaction and pride of participating in this national contest."

Focus on the Family Bioethics Analyst Carrie Gordon Earll said Roe v. Wade affords the nation nothing positive.

"What's to celebrate? 40 million abortions? 40 million dead preborn babies? Untold thousands of women who are physically and psychologically maimed? I don't think that's anything worth celebrating."

Earll calls abortion a "desperate act to resolve what feels like a desperate situation," and lamented Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, another case that paved the way for legalized abortion.

"Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton had an astounding impact, not only on the jurisprudence of abortion law in this country, but on how women look at motherhood,

I'm pregnant with my fourth. My husband and I didn't want to know with the first; the second didn't cooperate so she was a surprise; and we wanted to know with the third (boy) and it was accurate. Now, I don't want to know but my husband does and he's EMPHATIC about it. (For example, if we have a girl, we're getting our son a regular bed -- he's still in a crib -- and if we have a boy, we'll get a bunk bed.) I've pretty much given in because he's mope around for days if I don't (and people think WOMEN give guilt trips!) and so I'm praying that the baby doesn't cooperate.

I read somewhere that unborn child murder was legal, but not socially accepted, for a very long time, until medicine exposed how a child forms in the womb.

During the 1930s Margaret Sanger published The Birth Control Review, in which she openly supported Nazi Germany's "infanticide program" in the 1930s, and publicly championed Adolf Hitler's goal of Aryan white supremacy. Prior to World War II she commissioned Nazi Ernst Rudin, director of the dreaded German medical experimentation programs, to serve as an advisor to her organization.

In Killer Angel, George Grant chronicled the life and writings of Margaret Sanger, including her plans for genetically engineering the human race. Margaret Sanger's The Pivot of Civilization called for "the elimination of human weeds," and the "cessation of charity" because it prolonged the lives of the unfit. She called for the segregation of the unfit and prohibiting them to reproduce.

In 1939, Margaret Sanger organized the Negro Project, designed to eliminate members of what she believed to be an "inferior race." She justified her proposal because "the masses of Negroes... particularly in the South, still breed carelessly and disastrously, with the result that the increase among Negroes, even more than among whites, is from that portion of the population least intelligent and fit..."3

She then went on to reveal that she intended to "hire three or four colored ministers to travel to various black enclaves to propagandize for birth control...The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."4

As Margaret Sanger's organization grew, she wrote of the necessity of targeting religious groups for destruction as well, believing that the "dysgenic races" should include "fundamentalists and Catholics" in addition to "blacks, Hispanics, [and] American Indians."5 As the years passed, Sanger became increasingly obsessed with occult beliefs and hostile to Christianity and the American precept of individual freedom. Her distaste for America is evident in her writings:
"Birth control appeals to the advanced radical because it is calculated to undermine the authority of the Christian churches. I look forward to seeing humanity free someday of the tyranny of Christianity no less than Capitalism."6
