“In its continual attempt to ‘normalize’ abortion, Planned Parenthood has once again chosen to offend the Christian community by releasing the latest edition of its ‘Choice on Earth’ holiday cards,” said Jim Sedlak, executive director of American Life League’s STOPP International. “Contrary to the open-minded image the abortion organization aims to present for itself, Planned Parenthood has zero tolerance for anyone—or any religious group—that recognizes abortion as an evil act that kills a preborn baby.”
Planned Parenthood recently announced the release of the holiday cards on its web site. The advertisement reads, “Tis the season to share with family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones the message of ‘Choice on Earth.’ Place your orders now for the 2004 Holiday Card.”
“By replacing ‘peace’ with ‘choice,’ or more accurately, ‘killing the innocent on earth,’ Planned Parenthood is essentially saying ‘abortion on earth,’” Sedlak said. “This blatant mockery of Christian values – and of Christ Himself – truly demonstrates the bigoted, anti-religion, anti-God nature of Planned Parenthood.”
Sedlak said the record shows these holiday cards are part of an ongoing marketing campaign pushing Planned Parenthood’s radical agenda. “This latest stunt goes right along with the philosophies which have, over the years, produced such items as this summer’s ‘I Had an Abortion’ t-shirt and a Florida advertisement which said, ‘Give the gift that stops giving … a gift certificate for a holiday vasectomy at Planned Parenthood,’” he said.
“We encourage all parents, educators, mentors and students to educate themselves about Planned Parenthood,” said Sedlak. “When people know the truth, they recognize that Planned Parenthood is not a benevolent healthcare provider, but rather, an offensive organization that profits from selling sex and aborting babies.”
