If we need to speak with you for any reason, we will say we are calling from: Planned Parenthood Doctor's Office Toni ("Hello, this is Toni calling for _____.") Do not contact me by phone 902
—Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, directed at teens as young as 12
Planned Parenthood‘s ideology is sick nterestingly, the founder of SIECUS, the in-your-face sex education that many American parents find so offensive today was at one time also the medical director of Planned Parenthood for many years. 903
Dr. Mary Calderone was her name. Her employment at SIECUS has been described as the ―natural development for a woman devoted to changing traditional values that stood in the way of Planned Parenthood‘s aggressive merchandising of contraceptives and abortion to children.‖ 904
During the time she worked for SIECUS her organization produced some
controversial views. For example:
The 1974 ―SIECUS Position Statements say, ―The use of explicit sexual materials (sometimes referred to as pornography) can serve a variety of important needs in the lives of countless individuals and should be available to adults.‖ 905
Calderone‘s writings sought to legitimize child sex and molestation on the basis that it was pleasurable and natural for the under 12 child 906 and that it was only parents‘ fussing over
the molestation that really harmed a child. 907
In fact, she went further, encouraging parent-child sexual contact because ―The distinction between incest T I
304
and healthy contact is found in the motivation for it.‖ 908
Sick.
It was Calderone who convinced the American Medical Association to change their stance on population control to their current position that population control was needed for responsible medical practice. 909
Planned Parenthood covers incest and rape ife Dynamics, an undercover pro-life organization, has available taped evidence of abortion clinics across the country encouraging their supposed underage caller to lie about her age to get an abortion. 910
News covered the story of a Planned Parenthood employee encouraging a 15- year-old girl with a 23-year-old boyfriend to lie about her age. The whole conversation was also secretly recorded. This abortion clinic worker is on record saying, ―If you're 15, we have to report it ... If you're not, if you're older than that, then we don't need to.‖ The girl asked, ―Okay, but if I just say I'm not 15, then it's different?" "You could say 16," the worker said, later on adding, "Just figure out a birth date that works. And I don't know anything." 911
potentially abusive (and illegal) underage relationships, the clinic encourages them to fudge the birth date. And Planned Parenthood? Instead of educating their employees, they threatened to sue the girl who exposed them. This same girl posed more recently and obtained more dramatic evidence when she posed as a 13-year-old with a 31-year-old boyfriend. No one can deny that that is an unhealthy relationship. But the clinic worker tells her, ―I didn‘t hear the age‖ and ―I don‘t want to know the age‖ 912
and later recommends an out-of-state clinic for a secret abortion. You can‘t get much better than this when proving abortion clinics are complicit in covering up statutory rape. These recorded tapes are also available for viewing. An actual example where abortion covered up abuse is an unnamed Ohio teenager who is suing Planned Parenthood for failing to report her abusive situation. Sexually abused by her father since the age of 12, she came in for an abortion at age 16. She claims she even told the clinic of the abuse but they did nothing to help her. By failing to notify police, the girl holds that they are answerable for the continued abuse that went on for another 18 months. 913
Perhaps if an abortion had not been performed the pregnancy might have come out in the open and more questions may have been asked. L
305
These are not the only examples. 914
Planned Parenthood labels opponents ―terrorists‖ ou wouldn‘t believe it but Planned Parenthood branded pro-family and pro-life organizations ―terrorists and extremists.‖ Under ―Terrorists and Extremist Organizations‖ on their website were pro-life organizations such as the popular ―Focus on the Family,‖ ―Concerned Women of America,‖ ―Feminists For Life of America‖ and ―Christian Coalition.‖ In reality none of the pro-life organizations listed promote violence as a way to achieve their purpose. While Planned
Parenthood may
disagree with the viewpoint held by these groups, labeling them terrorists is nothing more than vicious slander. Realizing that this move could make them look like the radical bunch they are, they quickly deleted the site from their webpage, but not before I saw it. 915
Planned Parenthood‘s racist agenda The mass of negroes, particularly in the south, still breed carelessly. 916
—Margaret Sanger, The ―Negro Project‖ n her
autobiography, Planned
Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger volunteers that she spoke at a Ku Klux Klan group in Silver Lake, New Jersey and later was offered ―a dozen invitations to speak to similar groups.‖ 917
These actions indicate that she did not feel too uncomfortable with what these people believed. Another example of her racist attitude comes from a letter she wrote to one of her regional directors, Dr. Clarence Gamble of Proctor and Gamble. The letter is dated December 10, 1939: It seems to me from my experience… in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas, that while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors, they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table, which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts. They do not do this with the white people, and if we can train the Negro doctor at the clinic, he can go among them with enthusiasm and with knowledge, which, I believe, will have far-reaching results among the colored people… The minister‘s work is also important, and also he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation, as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if Y I
306
it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members. 918
Re-read that last sentence again. Three years later those same thoughts were echoed by one of Sanger‘s board members, Dr. Dorothy Ferebee, also president of America‘s largest black sorority. In ―Planned Parenthood as a Health Measure for the Negro Race,‖ dated January 29, 1942, Ferebee suggests that employing blacks at Planned Parenthood will stop any doubts of bad intentions: I cannot overemphasize the importance of utililizing Negro professionals, fully integrated into the
staff of
this organization. This key professional worker could interpret the program and the objectives to them in the normal course of day-to-day contacts; could break down fallacious attitudes and beliefs and elements of distrust; could inspire the confidence of the group; and would not be suspected of the intent to eliminate the race. 919
In one example of this in action, Dorothy Roberts writes how black workers were very much involved but conveniently somehow kept out of important jobs, such as management and attending planning meetings. Roberts believes the employees may have had a more important role, that of adding legitimacy and trust to the program.
920
Note that Ferebee and Sanger both suggested training black clinic workers and ministers, not with the intent to give the black race more independence, but so they wouldn‘t perceive Planned Parenthood was racist! Often it is the very thing we deny that we are trying to hide.
Did you know? Black women have a 50 in 1,000 chance of having an abortion. But for a white woman it‘s only 11 in 1,000 921
Planned Parenthood has never publicly questioned the racism of its founder. By recently accepting donations from racist donors for abortions for specific races, this indicates the racist ideology may still be present.
Planned Parenthood accepts racist-based donations pro-life student investigation by Live Action Films recently had an actor call abortion clinics wanting to make a donation specifically for black abortions. Here is a clip from one of the conversations, which are available online:
Idaho donor : The abortion—I can give money specifically for a black baby, that would be the purpose? PP Rep :
designate that your gift be used to help an African-American woman in need, then we A
307
would certainly make sure that the gift was earmarked for that purpose. Idaho donor : Great, because I really faced trouble with affirmative action, and I don‘t want my kids to be disadvantaged against black kids. I just had a baby; I want to put it in his name. PP Rep :
Idaho donor : And we don‘t, you know we just think, the less black kids out there the better. PP Rep
:
Understandable, under- standable. Idaho donor : Right. I want to protect my son, so he can get into college. PP Rep
: Alright. Excuse my hesitation, this is the first time I‘ve had a donor call and make this kind of request, so I‘m excited, and want to make sure I don‘t leave anything out. 922
Some clinics contacted acknowledged or even agreed with this blatant racism — and no one declined the money which the actor had asked be earmarked for ―a black baby.‖ Under media scrutiny, Planned Parenthood has recently apologized for its actions. 923
Yet it leaves me wondering, is this for real or is this a show for the media?
Reason #68 ―Planned Parenthood has an agenda all of their own‖ Reason #69 Planned
Parenthood‘s beginnings were unsavory
Why did Sanger found Planned Parenthood? We are merely walking down the path that Mrs. Sanger carved for us.
—Attributed to former Planned Parenthood Director, Dr. Alan Guttmacher
lanned Parenthood has
never renounced their founder or their founder‘s ideas! Why did Sanger found Planned Parenthood? There were too many people having babies. In particular, the wrong type of people were reproducing. She wanted the lower classes of society to limit reproduction and for the upper classes to have more children, thus contributing, she believed, to a natural ‗evolution of the species‘. Kind of like Darwin‘s survival of the fittest. Like helping evolution and in so doing helping society. Sort of. Interestingly, Sanger also went so far as P
308
to propose during a speech in Hartford, Connecticut, that parents be required to ‗apply‘ for babies just as immigrations were required to apply for visas. 925
As a side note, Sanger is not the only person to suggest this twisted idea. Nobel Prize winner Frances Crick also spoke of this, favoring licensing of parents or putting a tax on children in order to encourage "those people who are more socially desirable to have more children.‖ 926 Physiologist Dwight Ingle also proposed that all women of childbearing age should be implanted with an anti- fertility pellet preventing pregnancy and it only be removed on approval of their application for parenting. 927
Only those mentally and physically ―fit‖ (as determined by government officials, of course) would be allowed to have children. Sound familiar? I‘m thinking China. But then again, perhaps Sanger would agree with such an idea, for she herself wrote in Pivot of Civilization, ―we prefer the policy of immediate sterilization, of making sure that parenthood is absolutely prohibited to the feeble-minded.‖ 928
The scary part is, this could have come out of the mouth of Hitler. In Reason #70 you can read his exact words on this topic and you can‘t distinguish them from hers. While I‘m not claiming she was Hitler, I am suggesting that their policies were based on the same underlying presumptions, that lower types of people should not reproduce. Let‘s look at some more of Sanger‘s own words:
Birth control is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, or preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives. 929
It‘s women's fault By her failure to withhold the multitudes of children who have made inevitable the most flagrant of our social evils, she incurred a debt to society. ‖ 930
… and elsewhere,
The most serious evil of our times is that of encouraging the bringing into the world of large families. 931
Open recommendation for infanticide The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it. 932
No choices for these women Every feeble-minded girl or woman of the hereditary type, especially of the moron class, should be segregated during the reproductive period. Otherwise, she is almost certain to bear imbecile children. 933
309
Designing a sterile race of worker humans In her autobiography Margaret Sanger describes a conversation she had with philosopher Dr. Hu-Shih and some of his friends while in China. Before I share that conversation, this is something she‘d said earlier about the man — ―His outlook, coinciding with mine, recognized what birth control
might mean
for civilization.‖ 934
Now, here's the conversation: The conversation took a scientific turn. Since man had through breeding brought about such changes in the animal and vegetable kingdoms, why could he not produce a class of human beings unable to procreate? Was there any reason why the particular biological factors that made the mule sterile could not be applied further? They discussed the interesting possibility of creating a neuter gender, such as the workers in a beehive or ant hill. The implications of this colloquy formed a fascinating climax to our sojourn in Peking. 935
Some people should
have no
reproductive rights The grosser, the more obvious, the undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind. 936
The main purpose of birth control More children from the fit, less from the unfit — that is the chief issue of birth control. 937
Note, that the fit she speaks of are generally wealthy, educated, white people.
It‘s hard to encourage more fit children… In her autobiography Sanger mentions a eugenics conference she attended and her thoughts about it. Speaking with professors and doctors during a round table session she reprimanded them: There you are.‘ I said, ‗a super- intelligent group, the very type for whom you advocate more children, yet you yourselves won‘t practice what you preach.‘ 938
…therefore let‘s discourage the unfit children through birth control I accepted one branch of this philosophy, but eugenics without birth control seemed to me a house built upon sands …
birth control emphasis from less children for the poor to more children for the rich. We went back of that and sought first to stop the multiplication of the unfit. This appeared the most important and greatest step towards race betterment. 939
310
And this woman started the world‘s largest birth control organization?
Related reason: Reason #70: Hitler Would Have Loved Abortion
―Planned Parenthood has a shady past that they have yet to renounce‖ Reason #70 Hitler would have loved abortion
Compare Hitler‘s ideals with Margaret Sanger‘s e just looked at the beliefs of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned
Parenthood. Let‘s
compare Hitler‘s thoughts on the matter (yes, I even read his autobiography to bring you this comparison). If you haven‘t read Reason #69 , I recommend that you read it first — so you can compare the two ideas.
Sanger had her ―less fit,‖ Hitler had his ―lower beings" Yüklə 4,63 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
