For Planned Parenthood, making a lot of money off abortion
is one thing – but if you're going to groom your customers for abortion, you've
got to start somewhere. And if you think Planned Parenthood is going to
let concerned parents get in the way of their revenue stream, think again.
Remember the phrase "sex sells"? It's never been truer than
with Planned Parenthood.
We young people are savvy to when companies try this. We have a sharp eye
for hucksters. Yet somehow, too many of us can't see through the gigantic
snake-oil push coming out of Planned Parenthood.
See, when teenagers are having
casual sex, Planned Parenthood makes money. It makes money selling
condoms for men, makes money selling birth control pills for women, and makes
money testing boys and girls both for STDs. All while pushing teenagers
into the mentality that casual sex is the norm, thus making them repeat
customers.
Think about this: if an oil company told you that you have a "right"
to a car that requires oil to run, wouldn't you become suspicious? How
about if a cell phone company encourages you to exercise your "right"
to communicate in a way that only that company's phones are capable of?
So how about when a company that sells
contraceptives, STD testing, and abortions promotes behavior that requires contraceptives, STD testing, and
abortions?
That's Planned Parenthood.
It's a business. It is selling something.
Oh, and by the way? Planned Parenthood also gets hundreds of millions of
dollars in forced taxpayer money. Your
money.
Parents, do you think a billion-dollar abortion corporation should get
public money to make sex-customers out of your kids? And teens, should you be forced to send a
slice of your very first paychecks to an industry that sees you as nothing but
a big dollar sign?
The folks at Planned Parenthood might deck their advertisements with
smiling female faces, but remember: they're a business. They've got a bunch of Mad Men behind the
scenes, working round the clock to figure out how best to sell contraception
and abortion. Don't doubt it for a
second.
And if girls are killed? If
voiceless children are destroyed? If men
are encouraged to view women as sex objects, and if consequent abuses go
unreported? Why would those Mad Men
care? Why would Planned Parenthood
care? It's not like it's their kids –
and they just made a lot of money!
An abortion corporation with an eye for nothing but cash – ahead of
girls' safety, ahead of men's respect for women, and ahead of children's lives
– doesn't deserve a cent from our taxes.
Heck, it doesn't deserve to exist.
So let's work on both. First we
defund Planned Parenthood, and then we bring it down. For our children...and for our grandchildren,
too.
