Planned Parenthood's Pro-Abortion Christmas Cards Ready to Offend Again
by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- They're back. Planned Parenthood's "Choice on Earth" Christmas cards that are panned as offensive each year are returning once again.
The redesigned card features the same slogan as previous years. This year's card features bubblegum pink snowflakes on the outside along with the infamous tagline.
On the inside, card buyers can go with Planned Parenthood's bland holiday greeting, "Warmest wishes for a peaceful holiday season," or purchase blank cards and create a greeting of their own.
"'Tis the season to share with family, friends, colleagues and loved ones the message of 'choice on earth.' Place your orders now for the 2004 Holiday Card," Planned Parenthood says on its online store web site.
But, pro-life groups are upset by Planned Parenthood's co-opting of a pro-life theme in the Bible -- "Peace on Earth" -- where an angel heralds the birth of Jesus Christ.
"In its continual attempt to 'normalize' abortion, Planned Parenthood has once again chosen to offend the Christian community by releasing the latest edition of its 'Choice on Earth' holiday cards," said Jim Sedlak, executive director of STOPP, a group that monitors Planned Parenthood.
"Contrary to the open-minded image the abortion organization aims to present for itself, Planned Parenthood has zero tolerance for anyone-or any religious group-that recognizes abortion as an evil act that kills a preborn baby," Sedlak added.
Pro-life advocates say "choice" is no more than a euphemism for abortion and it is exploitive to use a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus to commemorate the death of millions of unborn children.
The Christmas cards are part of an overall strategy that pro-life people must not miss, Father Frank Pavone tells LifeNews.com.
"For years now, the pro-abortion forces have realized that they will lose touch with the American public unless they start presenting abortion in the envelope of moral and even religious language," Pavone, director of Priests for Life, explained. "Hence they speak more and more of a choice 'between a woman and her God.'"
Last year, Planned Parenthood claimed national outrage over the card and the public attention it received helped spike sales more than 25 percent over the previous year.
"Our holiday card has proven to be very popular with America's pro-choice majority for almost a decade because it sends an inclusive seasonal message for people of all faiths. I am proud of the card," Planned Parenthood president Gloria Feldt said of last year's offering.
ACTION: Send your complaints about the Christmas cards to store@ppfa.org.
Yeah, and Kerry is President of the United States! I don't believe it for a moment, I think it is meant to keep us from protesting with the "threat" that we would increase the revenue to PP. What do y'all think?
Funny you should mention Kerry. If Democrats hadn't been aborting all those lower-income babies, Kerry would have won.
"If Democrats hadn't been aborting all those lower-income babies, Kerry would have won."
Never thought about it like that. Maybe we should give this pro choice thing another look..
If they didn't get $690 million every year of government funding they wouldn't give a rip about 'choice', 'reproductive freedom', or women. It's all about money and how to keep it coming.
What's a "holiday season"?
"What's a "holiday season"?"

If I ever received one of these disgusting cards from someone for Christmas I would never speak to them again!
Another great card from the "Murder A Baby" for money crowd.
Sending out a card promoting the killing of the unborn...to celebrate the BIRTH of the Saviour.
If Planned Parenthood had been around two thousand years ago, how would they have advised Mary?
Despicable.
You know, the funny thing is, they sit clueless in their bubble-gum pink conference room around their environmentally friendly plastic table and shrug, "What? I don't get why everybody's so upset! Oh, are you going to the company's Winter Solstace Goddess party this year? I am so totally going to ask Tad in the mailroom. Is anybody ordering lunch from the soy bar?"
I would use one of these cards if I planned on giving somebody a dead baby carcass for the holidays.
I'm thinking a gift certificate is a perfect gift for some on my list.
I think I'll order more of the beautiful NRA Christmas
cards. Saw some this year with local MN artist Darryl Bush
featured. Nice stuff.
holiday season? I think they mean Veterans Day.
Mr. Silverback made a reference to a card with a Nativity Scene with an empty creche, but I don't see it on the web-site. Is it from last year's collection?

PP can't want peace when they kill millions, so they demand 'choice' instead.
