When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best

If you're harboring any doubts over the degree to which Planned Parenthood relishes the opportunity to transform the culture, check out the organization's suggested paths of individual activism in the abortion rights battle for hearts and minds. (Thanks to Evangelical Outpost for the link.) These are among the more egregious suggestions; I couldn't let them pass without some interpretive commentary:

"Talk to your clergy about pro-choice topics; encourage them to play a leadership role on these issues in the community and suggest they give a sermon on the ethical value of choice on every Mother's Day or Roe anniversary." (The tough part for ministers, of course, is finding a Gospel passage on which to build this particular Mother's Day sermon.)

"Bring up reproductive rights with your friends and family, including your children. Be loud and proud in your perspective." ("See Johnny? Now do you understand how lucky you are to have been born at all?")

"Ask obstetrician/gynecologists whether they provide abortions and patronize only those who provide the full range of care to their patients." (Individual choice is sacred, of course, except when it comes to physicians, for whom there is only one acceptable choice.)

"Send pro-choice greeting cards for holidays, birthdays, Mother's Day." (Nothing says "I love you, Mom" like a Mother's Day card extolling the virtues of abortion on demand.)
