Abortion backers try to justify Planned Parenthood’s Black Friday specials
UPDATE 12/1, 5:10a: Jim Styer, President of Sarasota Right to Life in Florida, alerted me that Florida has no 24 hour waiting period. A bill for that failed in the legislature this past March. So the other side was wrong on that point as well.
11/30, 10:58a: One never knows which posts are going to get more attention than others. (I’m usually wrong when I guess, actually.)
So I was surprised my blog on Planned Parenthood of South Florida and the Treasure Coast’s Black Friday specials got quite a bit of traction, from Fox to the Christian Post to Human Events.
All the attention forced a response from the other side.
Writers at both Jezebel and RH Reality Check disputed whether Planned Parenthood’s Black Friday $10 discount could be applied to abortions, although why should they care? If one supports unfettered abortion access, what does it matter whether a clinic dispenses coupons to make an abortion that much easier to get?
Nevertheless, here was their rationale, quoting Jezebel:
The newest outrage? Activist Jill Stanek believes she caught Florida Planned Parenthood offering discount abortions as a part of “Black Friday” celebrations. It makes a great headline – get it? Black? Like the hearts of those who support a woman’s right to reproductive healthcare? Because the email offer broadcasted $10 off a clinic visit, she took that to assume it was a financial abortion incentive.
There are a few problems with this conclusion, the biggest of which is that Florida has a 24-hour waiting period, which would make a coupon sent out near a Thanksgiving holiday worthless.
But the $10 off applied to a “visit that day,” so it didn’t matter whether one had to wait 24 hours for that day’s appointment.
Silly pro-aborts can’t even read coupons right.
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.
”those who support a woman’s right to reproductive healthcare”
Really, that’s what we’re calling it now. They should get an award for euphemism of the year.
appropriate name for Black Friday. I wonder if there was a stampede at the door when it opened.
I didn’t make the connection.
Thanks Jezebel, now I get it, a Black Friday coupon is perfect but sad rational.
And then it got reverb in the Media. The fact that Planned Parenthood is being forced to now watch it’s step, is humbling and an act of God.
It also makes the case for a Black Ribbon to be the color to be representing the abortion haulocost.
“Well, I wasn’t going to get an abortion. But since it’s $10 off, SURE!!”
(Is that an approximation of what you assume about a woman obtaining an abortion in this case?)
Keep stirring up those hornets’ nests, Jill! Your beekeeper’s outfit is made of the Truth!

AA, It wasn’t any prolife group that put this discount together; it was PP. Ask them the question. LOL
The pro-aborts just can’t stand it that their beloved Planned Parenthood got some bad press! Which they rightly deserve and I wish they would get a lot more of!
I don’t know for sure because I don’t know how they would schedule an abortion appointment but wouldn’t the coupon offer mean that people could go and use the coupon to make the appointment for the abortion and schedule it for another day and I’m sure they would give them the discount so it would count toward an abortion that way? And they could use it for an abortion that day so them trying to say that it wasn’t for that is a lie the point is it could be used for that! They offered this coupon to get women in the door and once there they can try to push their “other services” agenda on them. Even if someone went in just to get birth control with this coupon they are going to be exposed to the other services they offer which is abortion and they make it widely known that if the birth control they provide doesn’t work that they can come back to them and they will help them take care of what they call the “problem” which is a child! Planned Parenthood will do and say anything to make money and no matter how many don’t want to admit it their business is abortion. That fact doesn’t change no matter what spin of words they try to use to make it sound better. Planned Parenthood is in the abortion business they kill babies and hurt women. Keep calling them out on it Jill God bless you!
