As the debate continues to
rage over what Planned Parenthood stands for or against, and what is the truth
about the harvesting and selling of embryos by clinics affiliated with Planned
Parenthood, I think the organization owes us some explanations.
Of course, when it comes
to liberal causes, getting any real answers may be as difficult as Hillary
telling the truth about her emails, or foundation, but one must try. However, when it comes to the defender of
women's health issues, PP, answers are not always associated with truth.
Margaret Sanger - Founder of Planned Parenthood
For example, do they tell
us the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger,
Abortions were first
promoted by Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and one of the
first to endorse eugenics at the turn of the 20th century. Present Pro-abortion
people want to forget the sad chapter in America's abortion movement when
eugenics was the motivation behind "choice" for women, it is a secret
they wish would remain forever buried.
You see, abortion was
never meant to be a "freedom of choice" for women in America but a
sinister way to keep the nation from being populated by undesirables which included
the handicapped, institutionalized, the insane, criminals and the poor lower
classes including the African Americans. In short, it was the vehicle for creating America's own
super race long before Hitler adopted the Aryan Master race program.
In the late 1800's, after
the Civil War and the difficult adjustment to the freedom of the slaves in
1865, eugenics started to take an unexpected and unknown twist. Over one hundred years ago eugenics was a
science defined as; "The quality of breeding well of freely; the
production of young by the union of individuals of different species or
stocks."
Back at the turn of the
century, some eugenics advocates such as Margaret Sanger used it as a
justification for state-sponsored discrimination, forced sterilization of
persons deemed genetically defective, and the killing of institutionalized
populations. It evolved into a practice
intended to cleanse the human population of inferior classes and cultures.
Sanger's newsletters and
organizations were advocates of this social philosophy and her associates
worked with people including Ernst Rudin who became architects of the Nazi
Aryan Purification programs under Adolph Hitler.
Margaret Sanger advanced
the cause of science even farther than the use of mass sterilization by
promoting a way to dispose of undesirables while purifying the race through
abortion and targeted birth control of the lower classes.
In fact, she was leader of
the eugenics movement up until it provided training to Hitler's Nazis before
World War II on the purification of the white race through birth control,
sterilization, extermination, and other means.
The intent of the movement was the purification of the white race
period! Not only did the evil Nazi
doctors embrace the teaching of Sanger, so did the Ku Klux Klan, not
surprisingly, where she was a featured speaker at rallies.
By the middle of the 20
century the definition of eugenics changed to; "The science which deals
with the improvement and culture of race, especially the human race, through
improved conditions in the relation of the sexes." It pertained to genes,
race and family, and the nobleness of birth.
Make no mistake, among
other targets the African American population was a primary target of the
eugenics movement. The battle for
eugenics raged during the 20th century with the pro-abortionists fighting the
Christian churches and in the end came Roe versus Wade in 1973, a landmark bill
that did not approve abortion as pro-abortionists claimed but did state that
life began in a fetus at the age of 27 weeks, and as early as 24 weeks. As a result, it legalized abortions up to that
stage.
Planned Parenthood and Abortions Today
Today Margaret Sanger's
Planned Parenthood claims no federal money is used for abortions, and that
Planned Parenthood only performed a limited number of abortions.
In January 2014, the
Guttmacher Institute, which was founded by Planned Parenthgood, reported there
were 1.05 million abortions in the US in 2012, of which Planned Parenthood
performed 327, 166, about 31% of all abortions.
Since the passage of Roe versus
Wade in 1973 there have been a staggering 58 million abortions in America with
Planned Parenthood performing over 6.8 million, or 11%. That means the number of abortions performed
by Planned Parenthood has tripled over the past 40 years.
Still, who performs the
remaining three quarters of a million abortions? Again according to Planned Parenthood there
are about 1,700 health clinics performing the abortions, some of the pop-up
variety who keep relocating to avoid pro-life protestors.
Curiously, Planned
Parenthood identifies affiliate status with 66 independently incorporated
affiliates and supports 700 health clinics serving 2.7 million additional
patients. One wonders if congress has
ever looked into the fact of how much Planned Parenthood support to independent
affiliates and health clinics is used by those clinics for abortions.
Abortions Compared to Worst Health Disasters in
History
Between 1348 and 1350 the Black
Death or bubonic plague is estimated to have killed 30–60
percent of Europe's population, more than
50 million people, reducing the world population from an estimated 450 million
to between 350 and 375 million in the 14th century.
The Great Influenza, 1918
- 1919, also known as the Spanish Flu, the Great Influenza was most likely the
deadliest plague in history. The extremely virulent influenza virus killed an
estimated 50 million or more people in the space of just six months. The
world’s population at the time was just 1.8 billion.
For comparison, the total
abortions in America equaled
the total world deaths from either of the two worst disease outbreaks in
history, the Black Death and Spanish Influenza.
Worldwide abortion deaths
of 1.7 billion are more than three times the total world population in 1350,
and nearly equal to the entire world population in 1919, the years of the
health disasters.
The Harvesting of Fetal Tissue and Organs
Now we have the issue of
Planned Parenthood medical staff discussing the harvesting of fetal tissue and
selling it for profit.
Scientists at major
universities and government labs have quietly been using fetal tissue for
decades. They say it is an invaluable tool for certain types of research,
including the study of eye diseases, diabetes, and muscular dystrophy.
Companies that obtain the
tissue from clinics and sell it to laboratories exist in a gray zone, legally.
Federal law says they cannot profit from the tissue itself, but the law does
not specify how much they can charge for processing and shipping.
There is no doubt that the
market for fetal tissue and organs is a potentially multi-billion dollar
industry and with those stakes, how long can a government ban on profits be
maintained? The black market will surely
infiltrate the market if it has not already.
The Obama administration
and congress must get to the bottom of the Planned Parenthood numbers games and
create a meaningful policy for the long term use of fetal tissue and organs
that can be enforced by the law.
