    How Planned Parenthood’s defenders in the Senate are trying to distract you

    I’ve been listening to the Senate debate about defunding Planned Parenthood. Two things stand out: (1) the moral clarity of Senators arguing to defund the nation’s largest abortion provider (2) and the inane, morally retrograde defense of Planned Parenthood offered by Senators on the other side. Let’s be clear what Senators defending Planned Parenthood are arguing. They do not dispute that Planned Parenthood crushes and dismembers babies in utero and that Planned Parenthood sells their mutilated bodies to researchers. If you are waiting for them to dispute those facts, don’t hold your breath. That much is not in dispute. Their argument boils down to this—a woman’s access to “affordable healthcare”…

    Dear Senator, defund Planned Parenthood now

    The fourth video exposing Planned Parenthood has just been released (watch above). It is hard to believe that the revelations could get any worse, but they do. In this video, you will witness Planned Parenthood doctors picking through the mangled remains of a human baby trying to find parts to sell. You will also hear Planned Parenthood abortionists say “It’s a baby” and “Another boy!” They know what they are doing. We know what they are doing. This is the face of evil, and it has to stop. If you haven’t done so already, it is time for you to act. You need to send an email or a letter…

    Hillary Clinton defends Planned Parenthood in wake of damning videos

    Secretary Hillary Clinton has finally weighed-in on Planned Parenthood, which has been under fire over the last two weeks for trafficking the body parts of aborted babies. Here are her words as reported by LifeNews.com: I don’t have all the facts but Planned Parenthood has apologized for the insensitivity of the employee who was taped and they will continue to answer questions for congress and others, but for more than a century Planned Parenthood has provided essential services for women. Not just reproductive health services, including access to affordable family planning, but cancer screenings, for example and other health checkup. I think it is unfortunate that Planned Parenthood had been…

    The NY Times offers full-throated defense of barbarism

    The New York Times editorial board has penned a full-throated defense of Planned Parenthood. The opening paragraph gives you the core of the argument: A hidden-camera video released last week purported to show that Planned Parenthood illegally sells tissue from aborted fetuses. It shows nothing of the sort. But it is the latest in a series of unrelenting attacks on Planned Parenthood, which offers health care services to millions of people every year. The politicians howling to defund Planned Parenthood care nothing about the truth here, being perfectly willing to undermine women’s reproductive rights any way they can. Here’s how the editors defend Planned Parenthood. The defense is based solely…

    More Smoking-Gun Evidence of the Evil of Planned Parenthood

    Just to be clear, Planned Parenthood has argued that everything it has done is legal. Planned Parenthood is not disputing the most damnable aspects of this video–that their services include killing babies in utero and receiving payment to cover the cost of distributing baby body parts for research. Those are the facts that are undisputed and that shock the conscience. The latest undercover video is more evidence of the whole bloody business (see above). We need this video to be disseminated far and wide. People need to know what Planned Parenthood is—the kind of place where the dismemberment of live human beings is discussed casually over lunch. That a place…

    NY Times Op-Ed Makes the Case for Legal Polygamy based on Obergefell

    As the idea of legal gay marriage has grown more popular, the public by-and-large remains resistant to legal polygamous marriage. And that is why gay marriage supporters have until now tried to discount the slippery slope argument that the one leads to the other. They didn’t want public opinion to turn against gay marriage out of a fear of polygamous marriage. But now that gay marriage is the law of the land, they don’t have to worry about that anymore. And so today The New York Times has published an op-ed making the case for polygamy. And it does so by appealing to the logic of Obergefell v. Hodges. William…

    Planned Parenthood Indicts Itself with Euphemized Press Release

    I just read the Associated Press’s headline “Planned Parenthood says video part of decadelong harassment.” Then I read the story. Then I read the statement released by Planned Parenthood that the AP is reporting on. I have two clarifications of items that both the AP and Planned Parenthood obscure: (1) Planned Parenthood is still not defending itself from the most damning aspects of this story—that it routinely kills babies in utero and distributes parts of their bodies for scientists to dissect. In spite of euphemisms like “tissue donation,” Planned Parenthood admits that it is trafficking the body parts of aborted babies. In light of that fact, the AP might need…

    Does President Obama agree with Planned Parenthood polices on trafficking body parts of aborted babies?

    On Friday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that he has not yet seen the video exposing Planned Parenthood’s trafficking body parts of aborted babies (see above). Earnest also says that he hasn’t talked to President Obama about the video and doesn’t know if the President has seen it. A reporter then asks the bottom line question: “Does the President think that it is ethical to use the remains of aborted fetuses for medical research?” Earnest seems to deflect the question by referring reporters to Planned Parenthood and by saying he can’t comment on the inner workings of Planned Parenthood. But he does say that Planned Parenthood’s policies are consistent…

    What Planned Parenthood Is and Why Its Work Is Evil

    By now, you’ve no doubt seen the undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood executive explaining about how Planned Parenthood traffics the body parts of unborn babies (see above). It’s difficult to sit through a casual explanation of how Planned Parenthood traffics the body parts of babies killed in their abortion mills. Even if what they are doing isn’t illegal, it should be. And even if the unedited video tells a different story than the edited one, it’s no less an atrocity. Anyone whose conscience isn’t completely burned-over can see that. We need this video to be disseminated far and wide. People need to know what Planned Parenthood is—the kind of…
