Planned Parenthood to Supporters: Advocate for Abortion at the Thanksgiving Table

by Stephan Tawney on November 24, 2011

Remember, these people make their money aborting babies. It’s like Walmart asking you to advocate for the purchase of cheap plastic toys from China. Only, you know, you’re aborting children.

As is expected, the tips Planned Parenthood of New York City gives its supporters involve covering up promotion of abortion with terms like “reproductive health” and focusing on women’s rights. …

“The holidays are upon us! Going home or getting together with relatives for the holidays is always a stressful time, but if your family members are the type who regularly protest outside the local Planned Parenthood, you know that this holiday is going to be a doozy,” PPNYC complains. “Luckily, we have some tips for surviving those awkward conversations. So read on, and bring some diplomacy and understanding to the table along with that pumpkin pie.”

Planned Parenthood also encourages people to push abortions of disabled unborn children on their Thanksgiving guests, by telling them, “We can try to imagine the heartbreak of a family when they get the news that a test has shown there is something wrong with their baby.”

The tips include “Avoid bumper speak talk” and “Remember the big picture” and abortion activists are told, “Debating when life begins or whether or not abortion is federally funded may get you nowhere. Instead focus on your shared values and the big picture—for instance, talk about how you believe everyone should be able to afford to go to the doctor, or how the decision about when and whether to become a parent is a personal one.”

In short, ignore the main issue — aborting a child — because you’re not going to win on that front. To win you’ll have to completely ignore the main issue and focus on strawman arguments. How telling.

You can make reproductive choices before getting pregnant. Like you could choose to use a condom. You could choose not to have unprotected sex. You could choose to go on birth control. All choices you can make before walking into a Planned Parenthood to have taxpayers fund your abortion of a child.

But as we’re reminded today, Planned Parenthood isn’t about choice — it’s about profiting from irresponsibility. And your tax dollars are going to enrich these people.
