Holiday Cards, Poster Contests, and Other Travesties from Planned Parenthood Tis the Season...for Cruelest Irony and Contradiction.

Planned Parenthood (PPFA) has long used cutting-edge marketing savvy to try and repackage the most abominable products. That's how killing unborn babies became "choice" and how an organization supposedly devoted to "parenthood" became America's leading abortion chain.

During the holiday season, you might have expected the public relations geniuses at Planned Parenthood to peddle penholders advertising the new abortion pill. Or one of those 365 day calendars complete with daily illustrations of the wit and wisdom (so to speak) of Margaret Sanger. But Planned Parenthood Christmas cards?

But that's only the beginning. How about Planned Parenthood asking teens to get parental permission[!] to enter a poster contest celebrating Roe v. Wade? Or a Planned Parenthood ministerial advisor claiming Jesus was "pro-choice"? Even by PPFA standards, this is tastelessness squared.

For unto us a child is...?

The latest you-gotta-be-kidding endeavor is a holiday greeting card now being sold on Planned Parenthood's web site. Against a winter blue backdrop with several large eight-pointed snowflakes or stars that look vaguely like variations on crosses from a Chrismon tree (traditionally decorated with white and gold symbols of the Christian faith) is the message "Choice on Earth." The sentiment inside the card reads, "Warmest wishes for a peaceful holiday season."

Planned Parenthood calls it "A very popular greeting card among America's pro-choice majority for almost a decade" that "sends an inclusive seasonal message for people of all faiths." [Of course, as always, PPFA's "inclusiveness" does not include the unborn.] Planned Parenthood began selling the cards eight years ago, but has only recently made them available to the general public through its online gift shop. T-shirts brazened with the "Choice on Earth" design are also available for the discerning "pro-choice" shopper.

Obviously drawing the theme from Luke 2:14 where angels rejoicing over the birth of Christ proclaim, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward men," Planned Parenthood's theme and campaign have offended not only Christians but caught the attention of influential media personalities.
