All the Planned Parenthood we need...

New Orleans, LA (LifeNews.com) -- Pro-life advocates say Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, continues to exploit victims of Hurricane Katrina. The organization previously said it would provide morning after pills to victims, instead of food or shelter, and is now raising money off of the hurricane for its local abortion centers.
On its national web site, Planned Parenthood solicits funds for Hurricane Katrina support efforts. In fine print, the abortion advocacy group explains that all of the money raised will be used to support its local abortion businesses.
Under a headline "Help Those Affected by the Hurricane," Planned Parenthood admits that "100% of your tax-deductible contribution will go directly to helping Planned Parenthood affiliates."
"Your support is particularly important right now because Planned Parenthood is facing a truly tremendous number of challenges in the courtrooms, in Washington, D.C., and in our clinics," the abortion business says on the hurricane donation page.
Jim Sedlak, executive director of STOPP International, a group that monitors Planned Parenthood, called on the federal and state governments to end any taxpayer funding for it.
"By exploiting the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina for its own financial gain over the last 10 days, Planned Parenthood has shown that it is a calculating, callous organization undeserving of any public support," Sedlak said.
Sedlak said Planned Parenthood has been the recipient of more than $3.6 billion in taxpayer funds since 1987 and has current assets in excess of half a billion dollars.
"America is in the grips of what could be the worst natural disaster in its history, and all Planned Parenthood can think of is how to get its hands on the money pouring in for rescue operations," Sedlak added.
Planned Parenthood came under fire shortly after the hurricane when it said it would provide morning after pills, which sometimes cause abortions, to victims of the hurricane instead of food or shelter.
"As Hurricane Katrina ripped through the southeastern United States, Planned Parenthood was there to offer one free month of birth control or one free emergency contraception kit to women from Louisiana and Mississippi," Planned Parenthood Federation of America interim president Karen Pearl wrote to donors and supporters.
As a result of Planned Parenthood's actions related to the hurricane, STOPP is calling on all public officials in this country "to immediately turn off the spigot of tax dollars to Planned Parenthood" by cutting funding for it through Title X and Medicaid reimbursements
"In the case of Planned Parenthood, the aftermath of Katrina has revealed the true nature of an organization that at its core is much more concerned with profit than health care," Sedlak concluded.
This seems a racist agenda. After all, many blacks died, and now they want to cull blacks even further?
Margaret Sanger's legacy lives.
Given the nature of their business, the fact that Planned Parenthood engages in deceptive fund-raising practices seems to be the least of their sins.
PP should be grateful that GOD is their judge and not me.
My only comment: BARF!
This is almost as good as that ignorant advertisement for the antibiotic pill and women who take birth control.
It all but brags about the 16% of women who if they were diseased and they knew that the anti-biotic to cure them could cause their birth control not to work - would rather spread their diseases and NOT take the anti-biotic or even go to the doctor!
This is a sick society that puts this out as an advertisement that the women are so self-centered that they would prefer to spread disease than to stop having sex for a short period of time!
So take this anti-biotic and you won't have to stop screwing around!
That goes for males also, but this ad is directed to women.
Look at what was going on in that city before tens of thousands of troops moved in to take control (i.e. almost as many troops as there were residents left in the city). Do you really think it benefits ANYONE for those people to be reproducing more at this time? Who cares what color they are? They aren't even close to being able to handle the children they already have. And all the girls and young women who got raped while in the Superdome and Convention Center -- should they really be forced to have those monsters' babies because they can't afford an abortion? Easy to say "yes" as long as it's not YOUR adolescent daughter.
Baby killing is tax deductable? This is just sick.
What's wrong with this? They are not forcing anyone to have abortions. They are giving out birth control pills and morning after pills.
If some of the population had been using birth control to begin with they may not have been living in the poverty that they are waving like a banner now that the eyes of the world are on them.
"the morning after pill" is an abortaficent(sp?)
The next time you find yourself stranded on the side of the road with a broken down vehicle and no cell signal, I hope some kind PP type passes by and throws you a condom.
LOL.
Because it is Planned Parenthood. They could be handing out MREs and they'd be pummelled for it.
All the Planned Parenthood we need...
The last thing the women I saw needed is another pregnancy.
Good for Planned Parenthood. The more pills they hand out the better, as far as I am concerned.
sick - just sick.....
