Planned Parenthood picks peacenik 'Hanoi Jane' as abortion war's latest 'medal of honor' recipient
American Life League ^ | 03/28/2003 | Press release

Posted on 04/01/2003 8:02:09 AM PST by Interesting Times

In an unprecedented display of contempt for pre-born children and our armed forces, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is "honoring" Jane Fonda. The well-known pro-abortion activist who was roundly scorned for visiting Hanoi during the height of the Vietnam War is receiving Planned Parenthood's highest award-the PPFA Margaret Sanger Award- this Saturday, March 29, 2003. "Every American, especially our veterans and active-duty military, should be outraged that Planned Parenthood would pay homage to Jane Fonda," said Jim Sedlak, Executive Director of American Life League's STOPP International.

Additionally, PPFA President Gloria Feldt recently released a statement that said freedom for Iraqi women could only be achieved if the U.S. Government provides them with access to contraception and abortion, despite the fact that both practices are in direct opposition to the Muslim religion. "Planned Parenthood's lack of integrity truly knows no bounds! The Iraqi people are embracing the prospect of real freedom from oppression, yet Planned Parenthood wants to wage its own war on Iraq's pre-born children through its dictatorial regime of abortion and contraception," said Sedlak.

At a time when the people of the United States are coming together to support our troops, Planned Parenthood continues the tradition of their founder-Margaret Sanger-by sowing the seeds of discord. "Planned Parenthood's actions are truly shameful. Is an utter disgrace that the U.S. government provides $240.9 million taxpayer dollars towards their annual budget."

Where are all the FReepers who used to crow: "Don't badmouth Jane Fonda. She says she's found Jesus and that's good enough for me!"

I said at the time that we should wait a couple of years and see if it really took. I think her true colors have come out a few months ahead of schedule.

So I guess her becoming a Born-Again Christian was pretty short lived? (or was it just a PR move?).

I can only speculate, but the One who knows our hearts knows the truth (and He is the one who counts).

there are 3 good things we can do about abortion.

1. Pray.
2. Educate others about abortion.
3. Help get Estrada confirmed.

If you want to do number 3, keep reading.

Freepers, rather than waiting to see what happens with Estrada, we need to take the lead. That means presuring Senators, special interest groups, media organizations, etc. This thread is meant to be an ongoing effort to get this man confirmed. For too many years liberals have had their way on the courts. Now, President Bush is in a position to move the courts to the right. The election of '02 showed that the country is with the President. I think it's time to let Daschle, Hillary, and Pelosi know this is Bush country. Are you with me! Let's FREEP these people.

I think they should have nominated Gennifer Flowers, who stated in her book "Passion and Betrayal" that she had an abortion while she and Bill Clinton were hot and heavy (and this was BEFORE Chelsea!)
