Not the messaging Cecile hoped for today: Full page ad exposes Sanger’s racist, eugenic roots
Planned Parenthood is, of course, one of the groups sponsoring Pro-Choice Lobby Day in Washington, DC, today. So this morning PP CEO Cecile Richards sent out an email asking for “message[s] of support.”…
Right after Cecile’s email came another one on the same topic – messaging - but from the other end of the spectrum…
Here’s a link to a full page print ad by the Susan B. Anthony List running in today’s The Washington Examiner, Politico, Roll Call, The Hill, and The Washington Post Express, highlighting PP founder Margaret Sanger’s roots in the eugenics movement and making the case that the business model of the organization is centered on abortion, not women’s health.
Yes, the timing was not coincidental…
This is timed to counter efforts by PP and other groups on the Hill and is in addition to SBA List’s other recent efforts to defund PP, such as obtaining and releasing statements from top GOP presidential candidates and running TV and radio ads in the DC area.
This is a nearly $40,000 ad buy total.
No, this is obviously not the sort of messaging Cecile was hoping for. Here’s the top of the SBA List ad. Click to enlarge…
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
We’re ALL for “women’s health” but abortion isn’t healthcare. Abortion is a very temporary fix to a “problem” who can be a source of joy in a man and woman’s life if they can get beyond the initial fear of a surprise pregnancy and give their baby a chance at living the life it has been given. Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPC’s or PRC’s) will not coerce, but will lovingly guide those in need. Choose LIFE for your family, not death.
I AM certain that had RYAN WHITE been aborted, we would never even know what AIDS OR HIV was because of the fact of it hitting such a young child due to a blood transfusion, the media HAD TO Gvie information and stop the stigma that having this awful illness entails, we also would not have had the research that came about trying to come up with treatment for people with HIV to try to prevent them from getting full blown AIDS, SO what I simply ASK- IS THIS—Who IS BEING ABORTED EVERY SECOND, COULD POSSIBLY HAVE THE GENES OR IMMUNES SYSTEM to have the cure for AIDS, OR PARKINSONS, OR FOR CANCERS! Human beings through out centuries of “breeding” have evolved into a more immune species of man kind…we are wiping out our FUTURE WITH EVERY CHILD THAT IS ABORTED!
The SBA-list also had a link to a great summary by the Chiaroscuro Foundation on how PP doesn’t need or deserve federal funding.

Lisa,
Great point. When you talk about people being saved from abortion, the pro-aborts will invariably say that just as many criminals and poor people will be saved and therefore they kind of cancel each other out (Sanger, for example). The value of <i>each</i> human person and their potential for good is lost on them.
When the abortion advocates say that poor people and criminals would increase without abortion, aren’t they really telling young women, “Hey, you’re pregnant with either a thief, a serial killer, or a plain ole lazy bum!” I mean, at least wait until a few minutes before the crime to execute capital punishment a la “Minority Report.”
Let us pray for the conversion of the souls of Margaret Sanger and the people who make a living at the Planned Parenthood corporation and also pray in reparation for atrocities they commit upon the wombs of women. And let us place our trust and our burdens in and upon Jesus. Amen
ninek,
Pro-aborts assert that post-abortive depression does not exist; so if the baby were to be the next Ghandi or the next Dr. Tiller doesn’t matter to them; they would be just as pro-abort.
I have a question for my dear pro-life friends. I’ve seen it asserted that the government does regular audits of PP’s financials to insure that no $ is spent on abortion. I can’t imagine this is true, is it? Is there any source I can use to dispute this? Thanks all!
Not sure where you would find that Amy and it would certainly be worth detailing. You could probably bring to light their cooking of the books by showing that several million dollars of tax payer money was used to build an abortuarybut as long as they also use the facility to hand out birth control and charge extra for the abortions they get away with it. It is a farce. The Hyde amendment needs to be amended with something similar to the Pence amendment which would ban our monies from funding any organization that performs abortions period.
