I’ve
recently read the Planned Parenthood 2017-2018 Annual Report online and have
decided to take a page out of their book…. but tweaked it a bit (in bold lettering) to tell the other side of the story – the side
of children who cannot defend themselves and are relying on us to speak for
them. The below paragraph is a revised version of PP’s
“Message from our Leadership”. Everything PP claims to do we also are doing –
but in the name of voiceless children:
moving boldly forward, going on the offensive, having fundamental truth
on our side!!
“Despite
the challenges ahead, we will move boldly forward and expand our reach, our
services, and our impact. With more of our supporters in positions to effect
change, we are no longer simply playing defense — we’re going on the offensive.
There is a huge unmet need for the
people we serve (unborn children and
their mothers!). But we’ve got fundamental truth on our side: that your
body is your own. If it’s not, you cannot be truly free or equal…..and each child’s body is his or her own!!”
Living
in a society that accepts ending an unborn child’s life is surreal for those of
us who believe a life should have value. We are urged constantly to attend to the
needs of every vulnerable group out there...except the unborn. For some reason they are the only ones who
have been deemed “discardable” by our electorate. And to society’s disgrace, this practice is
not only accepted but applauded and paraded about as if taking a child’s life
is a sign of independence and strength.
One
way you can go on the offensive against abortion is to participate in the 40 Days for Life Campaign. Join a local campaign near year and show your
support for our unborn children. If you
need a little nudge to get involved, check out your state’s Department of
Health website and see the number of abortions recorded. In Pennsylvania, we had 30,818 babies aborted
in 2016…that’s 30,818 reasons for me to get involved!
