Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Famous children's author Judy Blume is no stranger to controversy, but she's added to herself to a list of people who will be remember for something more devastating. Blume has lent her name the solicitation of donations for Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business.
In a new missive ironically celebrating mothers day, Blume suggests sending a donation to the pro-abortion group to honor mothers.
"Say thanks this Mother's Day with a gift that honors her courage by making a donation to Planned Parenthood in her name. I guarantee you that she'll be pleased. I know I would be,' Blume writes.
"There is no organization that I know of that supports motherhood and all that it means more than Planned Parenthood. That's why I'm honoring moms everywhere with my gift to Planned Parenthood today," Blume adds.
Blume notes how more woman are seeking abortions form Planned Parenthood because of the difficult economy and she urges readers of the email to use that as a reason to support the abortion business.
"And right now — with more and more women seeking care from Planned Parenthood health centers — we need to do all we can to support them. By honoring a mother in your life, you'll be making a gift to millions of mothers and families who seek care from Planned Parenthood. That's a gift any mother will appreciate," she concludes.
Planned Parenthood offers to send a card to any donor's mother saying that a person sent a donation to the pro-abortion group in her name.
In a pub note that goes along with the fundraising letter, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards thanks Blume for her support.
"There are very few writers who have helped more young people grow up and grapple with their changing bodies and emotions than Judy Blume," she writes.
"I count myself among her biggest and most grateful fans — and am so lucky to call her my friend. I'm honored to relay her message about motherhood to you today," Richards adds.

Not a surprise. Judy Blume prostituted children’s literature and has been corrupting her young readers for years. Her books are disgusting.
Sort of like sending contributions to the Hemlock Society in celebration of life.
Gee, how about sending a coat hanger instead.
Why would you send money to a business? Should we write a check for a donation to Philip Morris too?
Looks like Judy needs ‘The Red Envelope’ treatment 0bama received...which the general public never heard about, of course!
Jerks.
If I did that to MY Mom, she’d have no hesitation to post-abort me on the spot, LOL!
Made enough money has she? Doesn’t need a new crop of readers?
She’s killing off her own future readership.
Helping to kill off your future market is just idiotic.
I respectfully disagree. Superfudge is a classic.
How about a dozen photos of aborted baby pictures sent to Ms. Blume.
I’m really not this cruel but these people can’t seem to connect the dots.
Anytime the Left speaks of “courage” and “celebration” you know it’s going to be death, perversity and satanic. God is not mocked, they will be accountable.
Yep.
How would that be cruel? She supports it, she might as well see what it’s all about. I don’t think it would change her mind.
I preferred Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. If I was to give it to my kids, I’d buy it used and review it beforehand (the latter probably not a bad idea in any case). If I had boys, I’d probably just buy them the old Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators books. Those were great.
