In one of the
greatest public relations scams of modern times, America is being
duped by the King of Lies.
From the inception
of grassroots programs in the 1990s bringing abstinence education to
teens, Planned Parenthood has fought to extinguish the abstinence
message. In the first years, they were very direct with us.
They hated abstinence education. Why? Because sex was a
natural right…even for teenagers. If teens wanted to have sex,
they were merely exercising their natural born right to enjoy having
sex.
But with escalating
birth rates and a new generation of sexually transmitted diseases,
parents and public officials were hard-pressed to accept this line of
reasoning. Planned Parenthood and its friends needed to find a
new tactic. Putting on their creative hats, they added water and
stirred, creating...“medical accuracy.”
Knowing that you
only need to repeat a lie often enough for people to accept it,
Planned Parenthood has led an unrelenting campaign to convince people
that abstinence educators base their programs on bad medicine.
It is a catch-phrase that has caught on, even as this idea is promoted
by the one organization in America that has survived by avoiding
medically accurate information at all costs.
On their website,
Planned Parenthood
offers the basics
of fertilization of the human egg. Oddly, passing over medically
accurate and captivating modern films of real sperm and eggs creating
a living and cell-dividing zygote, they opt for a crude cartoon
starring a penis named Peter
(Yes!)
wrapped up in a tan
trench coat.
Peter stars on
The G Spot with a nameless Vixen complete with cleavage, the voice
of Mae West and a fur-lined dress in the shape of the vagina and
vulva. In their crass comedy routine, where “the genitals tell it
like it is,” fertilization of the egg by the sperm ends with Peter
inviting Mae West back to his place...because all this talk “really
got him going.”
If Planned
Parenthood wanted to entertain a six-year-old with cute sperm playing
cards poolside as a pearl ovum floats by on a lily pad, they have
succeeded. If they wanted to use the one website in the world
that could really promote medically accurate information on how life
is created, this cartoon is a dismal failure.
Once Planned
Parenthood explains “How Pregnancy Happens,” their next offering is a
page titled “Pregnant, Now What?” In a long-winded, ho-hum,
resigned acknowledgment that you must be pregnant, nowhere is there
the hint of the joy of conception for a couple who “planned
parenthood.”
Nowhere is such a
happy couple invited to see a real zygote implanted in the womb
developing into a human life. Instead, shifting attention to all
the problems of being pregnant...the missed period, the difficult
decision, raising the child by myself…the list of “choices” offered by
Planned Parenthood is enough to create clinical depression in an
amoeba.
Depressed? No
worry. The cure for your depression is offered in the next
sentence... “You can choose to end the pregnancy.”
But first...
...just
to make sure you never encounter any medically accurate information
about the “cells attached to the uterus,” Planned Parenthood makes
sure to alert you to “so-called
‘crisis pregnancy centers’ that are "anti-abortion".
These "fake clinics", they warn,
advertise free pregnancy testing to "lure women into their anti-choice
agenda.”
What Planned
Parenthood would rather you not know is that crisis pregnancy centers
rely on medically accurate ultrasounds to give women medically
accurate information for considering “the choice” being sold to them
on a website that prefers cartoons to truth.
On the Planned
Parenthood website, looking
for just one 4-D ultrasound, I type in fetus on their search
engine. The first offering? An article listed by
Planned Parenthood, “The Bible Is Silent on Abortion,” is written by
Rabbi Dennis S. Ross. Just below, an article, “The President
Signs the Dangerous Unborn Victims of Violence Act,” clearly denounces
any attempt to create “legal personhood for the fetus.”
And just to make
sure you never consider the “personhood” of the fetus they offer to
abort, the next article listed by their search engine offers Planned
Parenthood’s medically accurate version of fetal development reduced
to six lines:
We know that the embryo or fetus cannot feel pain before 20
weeks of pregnancy. Nearly all —
99 percent —
of abortions are done before 20 weeks. It is even possible that a
fetus is unable to perceive pain at any time during pregnancy. If,
however, the ability to feel pain does develop before birth and
consciousness, it is likely to happen only after the 28th week of
pregnancy, when abortion is performed only for rare, unusual medical
situations.
Partial-birth
abortion? It’s never mentioned by Planned Parenthood in
medically accurate terms that would lead a person to understand what
is happening to the fetus…or baby. The actual gruesome
“procedure” is carefully cloaked by Planned Parenthood behind this
banal statement, “The fetus and other
products of conception are removed from the uterus with medical
instruments and suction curettage. This procedure takes about 10-20
minutes.” Not one word about stabbing the baby and sucking out
the brain from the cranium.
Ultrasound? A search of Planned Parenthood’s information base
gives you the assurance that an “ultrasound
can also be used to help locate an Intrauterine Device (IUD) inside a
woman’s uterus.” Pictures offered of a baby in the womb?
None. Pictures of an IUD…just follow the Planned Parenthood
hyperlink.
Try as one may,
using the search engine on Planned Parenthood’s website, there is not
one picture of a “bunch of cells” developing in the uterus…the cells
at the heart of the choice they will abort for $500 cash, a choice
that impacts 1.6 million women and babies every year.
Planned Parenthood
leading the charge of a campaign to offer medically accurate
information is enough to make a person laugh. No wonder they
fight every legislative effort to enforce Informed Consent. If
only it weren’t so tragic.
Can anything good
come from having the King of Lies set the standards for truth? No.
Not one good thing.
