Planned Parenthood CEO: Providing Information Is “Cruel”
LiveAction.org ^ | 9/5/11 | Paul Pauker

Posted on 09/08/2011 4:44:08 PM PDT by rhema

Cecile Richards, the CEO of Planned Parenthood, sent out an email asking: “Why is Rick Perry so cruel to women?”

Richards complained, among other things, about Gov. Perry’s support of the Texas law that would require abortion providers to show an expectant mother a sonogram of her baby, along with a description and the heartbeat. All facts. No opinions. Just the information that correctly and completely explains the procedure as required for a fully educated choice.

But Richards attacked these measures as “burdens” and “dangerous.” Why is Richards so upset?

How is looking at a “clump of cells” a burden? It’s not as if the expectant mother will be looking at a human life with arms, legs, a head, a beating heart, etc. Oh, wait …

But how is providing this information dangerous? OK, I admit I can see how providing an expectant mother with all the biological facts concerning her baby might cause her to change her mind and “choose” life, instead of allowing the abortionist to rip her baby’s limbs, crush her baby’s skull, and throw away her baby’s remains like trash. Planned Parenthood would lose a lot of abortion money. So I concede this, in fact, is dangerous.

That Rick Perry sure is cruel.

As America receives judgement after judgement from God, we don’t have to look far to figure out why.

I was always of the opinion that we should ask the child whether he or she should be aborted. Of course, we would have to wait until they reached the age of majority. I think it would do a lot to end the practice.

Isn’t it cruel to kill unborn babies?

And they don’t even want crisis pregnancy centers to provide any information to expectant mothers either. Unless it is how to get an abortion.

Remember these people believe children are punishments. They even have posters of Obama saying this very thing.

So to them, it’s MORE cruel to stick a woman with a baby, than killing the baby.

That’s the mentality we’re dealing with here.

Planned Parenthood is pro-rape and pro-infanticide. If their customers learned this, they’d be run out of business.

Cecile Richards is your basic baby killing POS.

Cruel is the failure of this country to GET RID OF HER AND HER KIND.

At some point the government has to be taken out of the equation so that these people are no longer protected in their crimes and foul tastes.

It’s a choice. An UNINFROMED choice. Just like voting for Obama.

Those who believe that abortion should be a “states’ right” stand with those who think slavery should be up to the individual states.

No president can effect the change, it’ll need a Constitutional amendment to end this barbaric practice and keep it out of the hands of selected not elected activist judges.

This is the sole medical practice where pretending that thing on the monitor isn’t exactly what it looks like won’t get you into deep legal and licensing trouble.

Planned Parenthood built a huge facility in a minority neighborhood of blacks and Hispanics in Houston. They are afraid their abortion business will suffer when women hear a heartbeat. The peddle the notion that abortions are benign, when the opposite is true. A woman can die from an abortion and they do. This is hushed up by liberals backing this dirty business of eliminating babies and calling it family planning. Governor Perry is ensuring that women are totally and completely informed regarding their decision. This is good medical practice, but not what Planned Parenthood really wants.

I’d say that the cruelty of providing full disclosure to a girl that genuinely does not know that her unborn baby is a living human being in order to get her business is far more cruel than being truthful with her. Even some of those who know the truth but try to deny it can benefit.

There is absolutely no way to maintain a girl’s ignorance after she has had an abortion. She literally could come face to face with the truth at any time. And if that truth meets her after she’s already had one or more abortions, there is nothing she can do about it. Informing her before the abortion at least gives her a chance to back out; if she doesn’t, and later feels guilt, then she has only herself to blame.
