Do you ever read something or perhaps hear something and find yourself thinking, "What in the world were they thinking when they did that?" That is exactly the response I had when I read a recent article from WND. After I got over my initial shock, I wondered how in the world Planned Parenthood could possibly think this was a "good" idea.

According to World Net Daily,

Planned Parenthood, which in past years has promoted a "Choice on Earth" abortion campaign during the Christmas season, has a new outreach, offering Christmas gift certificates to be used for abortions.

Yes, you read that right. They are offering gift cards at CHRISTMAS TIME that can be used for abortions! How sick is that? The Lone Star times had this response with which I totally agree.

"It is difficult to think of a more tasteless, ghoulish thing to give anyone. I refuse to refer to these financial instruments as gifts as they are nothing more than a legal way to put a hit out on someone."

If you recall your Biblical history, you will recall a similar story. King Herod ordered all children under a certain age to be killed. Jill Stanek stated that Planned Parenthood was

this generation's King Herod, you know, the guy who ordered the mass slaughter of babies when Jesus was born," [....].

When I think of receiving a gift card from someone, I don't think of being handed one that would entail the killing of an innocent child. How in the world do you tie the wonderful tradition of gift giving, or the BIRTH of Jesus Christ with that of killing an innocent fetus? This is the most despicable, disgusting, debased and diabolical thing I have ever heard Planned Parenthood - or any other organization for that matter - do: after abortion of course.

What does this say about the morals of this organization that they can so glibly offer a child's death as a gift card? What does it say of us as a country that there would even be a market for such a thing?

Planned Parenthood, when questioned about the gift cards had this to say.

[....] the certificates come in $25 increments and can be used for everything from birth control to $58 examinations that include breast exams and pap tests.

"They can be seen for sexually transmitted disease screenings, HIV tests and general prostate exams and those kinds of things," said Struben-Hall.

[They were then asked] "But can they be used for abortions?"

Of course, Struben-Hall said. "We decided not to put restrictions on."

Did you catch that? "We decided NOT to put restrictions on." Holy Cow! In other words, we are not going to have any moral or ethical restrictions whatsoever. Character - out the window. Integrity - out the window. Doing what is right - out the window. Unbelievable. Can this organization be any more brazen?

You might be interested to see what some of the comments looked like in response to the article, and maybe even a little surprised.

* "A gift for those who only want to kill the very innocent."
* "Good for one dead baby."
* "Redeem this at Planned Parenthood. No other redemption possible. Ever."
* "I cannot think of a more evil organization."
* "What a marvelous way for the donor as well as the recipient-user to have blood on their hands."
* "No matter what you believe about abortions this has GOT to disgust people that you would 'give' that kind of thing as a gift to someone!?? I mean WHO would you give it to??? 'Here best friend in case you ever need an abortion.'"
* "I met a woman once who CELEBRATED her abortion because she was 'happy that no MAN could tell her what to do with her body.' It was all I could do to walk away silently without puking in her face. She's the kind of person that would give all the women she knew one of these gift death certificates.

Gift death cards.... What will Planned Parenthood do for an encore if the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) passes?
