Planned Parenthood?
This week is the 40th anniversary of the supreme court
decision Roe v. Wade legalizing abortion and giving a women ‘rights’ she
supposedly did not have regarding the care of her body. Since that time, 54
million young potential lives have been terminated. That is about one abortion
every 90 seconds! Planned Parenthood, a taxpayer funded organization, received
a record 542 million in tax payer dollars this year, almost half of their
yearly budget. They have over 1.2 billion dollars in assets. It just so happens
that this was a banner year for abortions in their very successful TAXPAYER
funded organization.
Many of us don’t realize that decision was less about a women’s
right to choose and more about a huge power grab by the federal government,
increasing their control into our healthcare decisions. It was a victory for
the progressive political march in America where bigger is better, progressive
values will be your values, and the redefinition of morals change based on the
advancement of their agenda. Guess what, in their world, towards the end of
life, your right to life will be in their hands because they are now in the
driver’s seat with the ‘Affordable’ Healthcare Act. And here’s a reality check:
women throughout the ages have made that choice to carry or terminate a pregnancy.
My grandmother was on an abortion table well before 1973 with my dad when she
heard a voice inside say “Run!”. Let that sink in; my dad was minutes from
losing his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. My grandma
made a good choice, thank God! If Planned Parenthood was there for her to make
it an easier ‘plan’, I would not be writing this.
I think woman have the right to make choices for their bodies, we
all do. And we should make those decisions at our personal and financial
expense so we learn as we go. There should be some personal responsibility and
consequences so we, women and men, learn from our decisions and proceed with
caution in our ability, and gift, to procreate.
I personally don’t like is my hard earned money going to ‘fix’ someone
else’s parental planning decisions and, further, having my hard earned money
terminate a young potential life without my consent. I don’t even feel
obligated to provide ‘free’ contraception for their sexually active lifestyle
(progressive ‘free’ = taxpayer funded). What about individual responsibility?
What about taxpayer rights? And giving voice to those that cannot speak for
themselves, what about the unborn’s Constitutional right to life, liberty, and
pursuit of happiness?
The federal government, funded by we the people, should not be in
the abortion/contraception business, and it is a business! Don’t you see that
our current culture has devalued life at several stages therefore decreasing
its value at every stage; a simple harmless abortion, a drug overdose, a teen
suicide, or an elementary school shooting massacre. Remember, nothing is free!
