The dark side of Planned Parenthood

The act of smashing in a human embryo’s skull in the name of science is vile, despicable and grotesque. Depending on which part of the embryo is needed, that part is kept intact to sell for profit. Fetal tissue, especially the liver, is in high demand from scientists around the US.

Planned Parenthood has been supplying this request through the performance of abortions for years in exchange for a monetary reward.

This action is illegal because of law 42 U.S. Code § 289g–2-Prohibitions regarding human fetal tissue, section (a) which, states “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce.”

The code has four more sections describing what exactly is illegal and the punishments, fines and time in jail, for violating it.

 This foundation has a marvelous marketing team and amazing PR employees, who have been successful for years in using the good they do to cover what the clinics do with the carnage that comes from the performed abortions.

Margaret Sanger started the American Birth Control League in the 1920s with mostly good intentions: to provide birth control to women in a step to avoid most abortions and unexpected pregnancies. Sanger paved the way for women and families to control when they get pregnant.

In 1942, the name was changed to Planned Parenthood Foundation of America, and interestingly enough did not support abortions. A pamphlet published by Planned Parenthood in 1963 said, “An abortion kills the life of the baby after it has begun.” Seven years later they began performing their first abortions.

I want Planned Parenthood to go back to their roots.

I am grateful for Sanger’s fight for and introduction of modern birth control to women and society. I am not ready for children and it is a relief to know that I will most likely not be getting pregnant any time soon. However, if I do get pregnant I believe what would be growing in me would be a  living being with potential and I would not use abortion to make my life easier.

There is no denying that an unwanted pregnancy can be devastating, but deciding to end it so that life goes on as normal, is not ok. There are options out there that do not include terminating a growing embryo. These choices are not easy and require acts of selflessness, which is difficult especially when this society is so focused on selfishness. One decision available if a woman is not ready to be a parent is to give the little one up for adoption to a family who can’t conceive and would love the child.

My heart breaks for the women who have gone through the process of having a fetus scraped out of their womb. I know there are some that stand by it fervently especially now as women are supporting Planned Parenthood with hashtags such as #shoutyourabortion. On the other hand there are many women who have had an abortion and do not support it. These women face the regret of ending their pregnancy and not having the chance to know their unborn child.

I met a survivor of abortion. Her mom went through an abortion in the 80’s. Her twin was successfully terminated. The doctor did not know she was even there. She lived.

Yes abortion is legal, but is it right?

I agree with the Representative Diane Black. Planned Parenthood should continue the good services they offer including contraceptives, long-acting reversible contraception, screening for breast, cervical and testicular cancers, pregnancy testing, treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, comprehensive sexuality education, menopause treatments, vasectomies and tubal ligations. That is, if Planned Parenthood stops performing abortions and illegally selling the fetal tissue parts.

Many employees of this organization have hardened themselves to blood and torn up bodies of fetuses and some may not even see the termination side of their clinic.  I do not think these human beings are evil. I believe they think what they are doing is good and necessary, and some of the services offered are. I do not condone attacking these employees. They are human, they deserve respect just like every human does, even the ones who have not been born yet.

I believe the positive deeds that come from Planned Parenthood should not be the band-aid that covers up the horrors of their festering wound.
