Planned Parenthood of Northern New England is running a “cheeky and irreverent” new ad campaign online, on buses, and in local newspapers…

I’d call the ads tacky and tawdry, but I’m just a dowdy pro-lifer.

I do wonder about the cheekiness, coming at a time when Planned Parenthood is trying to repair its shattered brand. But who am I to get in the way of Planned Parenthood’s gutter double entendres?

What I do find most interesting is the money PPNNE apparently has to blow on marketing.

According to PPNNE’s Fall/Winter 2011 newsletter it hired “design powerhouse” Jager Di Paola Kemp in 2010 to “revolutionize” its archit ecture, signage, equipment (?), and signage “to convey the nervy, confident, and intrepid nature of PPNNE and its next generation of patients.”

PPNNE followed by creating an “equally bold ad campaign” with the help of Spike Advertising.

Don’t forget PPNNE’s Steve Trombley is the 5th highest paid Planned Parenthood affiliate CEO in the U.S. at ~$300K.

Which brings me to a flashback, when the New Hampshire Executive Council attempted to defund PPNNE to the tune of $1.8 million seven months ago, pretty much when it was spending all this marketing money. Sky-Is-Falling Trombley was quoted as saying:

We will not be able to continue to see the more than 15,000 patients we see every year in our New Hampshire locations. In terms of where we would not continue services, we do not know the answer to that yet. But we do know that this will have a devastating and significant effect on a number of women and families in this state.

Thank goodness President Barack Obama, a friend of Planned Parenthood as well as Trombley’s, reinstated funding!

Otherwise PPNNE might have had to trim Trombley’s salary and cancel the new art.

In their new ad campaign, Planned Parenthood claims:

"We're your sexual experience" "We're your morning after" "We're your friend with benefits"

Geeze...
"We're your STD"
"We're your descent into promiscuity and whoredom"
"We're your degradation"
"We're your murder enabler"

When perversion and evil doesn't even feel the need to hide in the shadows anymore ... it is a sad statement about that society..

Propaganda from the consequence-free copulation crowd. They think they can work the dials an levers of the reproductive machinery and then are surprised that the machinery starts up and functions as it was designed. For them, life is an undesirable event. But when life is an accident, then there is a strong temptation to snuff it out and suck it away as if that can ever snuff out the knowledge of what was really done.

For a number of years my wife has done post-abortion counseling for young women who woke up one day to the grave reality of what they had done, and whose lives are burdened with an unquenchable sense of loss and grief. These deep wounds are of a spiritual nature that no secular salve nor cheery slogans can satisfy. She helps them to seek God’s love to cover the sin of destroying their own child.
