In an unprecedented display of contempt for pre-born children and our armed forces, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is "honoring" Jane Fonda. The well-known pro-abortion activist who was roundly scorned for visiting Hanoi during the height of the Vietnam War is receiving Planned Parenthood's highest award — the PPFA Margaret Sanger Award — this Saturday, March 29, 2003. "Every American, especially our veterans and active-duty military, should be outraged that Planned Parenthood would pay homage to Jane Fonda," said Jim Sedlak, Executive Director of American Life League's STOPP International.
Additionally, PPFA President Gloria Feldt recently released a statement that said freedom for Iraqi women could only be achieved if the U.S. Government provides them with access to contraception and abortion, despite the fact that both practices are in direct opposition to the Muslim religion. "Planned Parenthood's lack of integrity truly knows no bounds! The Iraqi people are embracing the prospect of real freedom from oppression, yet Planned Parenthood wants to wage its own war on Iraq's pre-born children through its dictatorial regime of abortion and contraception," said Sedlak.
At a time when the people of the United States are coming together to support our troops, Planned Parenthood continues the tradition of their founder-Margaret Sanger-by sowing the seeds of discord. "Planned Parenthood's actions are truly shameful. It's an utter disgrace that the U.S. government provides $240.9 million in taxpayer funding towards their annual budget."
