Talk about irony. If Mary had opted for the choice they advocate, we wouldn't be celebrating the very holiday they are demeaning.

Turning a Christmas card into a statement on abortion indicates an obsession bordering on the weird.

It's not all bad. Look at it this way: Those little circles in the snowflake design can be used as targets!

Of course, I don't think I'd want to wear one of the shirts.

"The cover of the light-blue card features a snowflake design and the words "Choice on Earth."

More like "Choice to MURDER on Earth"

These cards could be to Planned Parenthood what the Wellstone "Memorial Service" was to the Democrats.

The word "antithesis" fits here.

antithesis

n. pl. an·tith·e·ses (-sz)

1. Direct contrast; opposition.
2. The direct or exact opposite: Hope is the antithesis of despair.
3. a. A figure of speech in which sharply contrasting ideas are juxtaposed in a balanced or parallel phrase or grammatical structure, as in “Hee for God only, shee for God in him” (John Milton).
b. The second and contrasting part of such a juxtaposition.
4. The second stage of the Hegelian dialectic process, representing the opposite of the thesis.

Trent, I have an idea for you. DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD. They make plenty of money selling condoms, corrupting children, and killing babies. They don't need or deserve our tax money!

Sort'a like Ma Richards (Texas) hanging condoms on her christmas tree inside the Guvnah's mansion.

Adolf Hitler believed in "choice on earth" -- the choice to kill Jews, destroy other nations, and enslave millions.

That was Hitler's choice. Killing babies may be a bit lower than what Hitler targeted as choice.

Libs are big on child care. How's this for a slogan. "Right to Life -- the Ultimate Child Care."

I hated those NARAL television ads with the flag-waving, grandpa and grandma, apple pie, kids in swings on hot summer nights - but this is even more distasteful. That they even have a Christmas card is bizarre, in my opinion.

....and the found a product of conception wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger.

Do you think they could have gotten away with cards that cheerily said "Abortion on earth..."? This euphemism of "pro-choice" is really maddening and needs to be debunked whenever possible.

Well this just illustrates the rule that when you think liberals have gone as low as they can go, they dig another basement.

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Christ child and the hope He brings for peace on earth. And PP "celebrates" this holiday by advocating the death and destruction of babies before they can be born. Celebrate Christmas by advocating death, bloodshed and violence against human fetuses. Disgust isn't really a strong enough word.

[Spiff]

I think everyone has this all wrong. Planned Parenthood is not sending this card out to celebrate Christmas. They are sending it out to celebrate their favorite holiday on which they observe the anniversary of King Herod's choice to attempt to murder the baby Jesus when he ordered the massacre of all the innocent babies in Jerusalem.

Here's a Holiday Card that I just whipped up to help Planned Parenthood celebrate "Choice on Earth".

brilliant.

[teeman8r]

they better exercize their choices here on earth, cause in the afterlife, the only choice they will make is which eye gets the red hot poker in it...

"They have their agenda to take choice away from people," Klausmeier said. "... The cards say, `Choice on Earth.' I think it's a great message, a universal message, an ecumenical message."

This Klausmeier must be a complete moron. To call "Choice on Earth" an ecumenical message is ludicrous.
