To say I am appalled at the news that Planned Parenthood of Indiana is selling gift certificates that can be redeemed for abortions would be an understatement. This is depravity beyond words. And I almost find it hard to believe that anyone, even a merchant-of-death company like Planned Parenthood, would stoop to such a level to peddle their evil services. The leading provider of abortions in the United States says that the certificates are intended to encourage women not to forgo important heath care. But Planned Parenthood is a for-profit company, and the reason for-profit companies sell things like gift certificates is, well, for profit. Now profit is not bad in and of itself. Profit is evil, though, when it is made by taking advantage of women who are emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically vulnerable and on the slaughtering of countless little ones robbed of life before having the opportunity to breath outside their mother’s womb.
Beyond all that, what kind of person would give one of these things to another person anyway? What a way to say you care. You know; spread a little holiday cheer…with an abortion gift certificate. I can see it now. A teenage mom-to-be is getting up on a snowy white Christmas morning. She has struggled with what to do and where to go for help. She is looking for a little hope and maybe even some joy on this holy day, and what does she find stuffed in her Christmas stocking? Not a lump of coal but a big fat book of gift certificates good for one abortion if used before the expiration date. So, make your appointment and hurry on in. Can’t you just feel the last semblance of hope and joy sucked right out of the holiday? What a ridiculously bad idea. So, if you’re looking for a last minute gift idea, there’s always the gift of death.
