Just three short weeks after the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus published an editorial
entitled “Livingston Daily seeks truth, serves the public,” in which they
outlined basic journalism standards that they promise to abide by, they
published an article by reporter Abby Welsh entitled “Planned Parenthood brings
in new advocacy group.” The problem with the Planned Parenthood article is that
it was one-sided, only making positive comments about the abortion giant, and
not giving any room for comments from the prolife community. There was never a
follow-up article, and my repeated requests to the paper, asking if and when
they would publish my letter to the editor, were ignored. The contents of that
letter are presented later in this article.
Before anyone thinks I’m complaining for no reason, it
should be noted that just last year, when this same paper ran an article about
Dr. Anthony Levatino’s keynote address to a packed auditorium during Pregnancy
Help Clinic’s annual fundraiser, they made sure to get a quote from Planned
Parenthood. The paper’s decision to present only one side of Planned Parenthood
in Ms. Welsh’s April 1, 2015 article, and their apparent refusal to print my
letter, leaves me with no choice but to publish its contents here.
Planned Parenthood was founded by a racist and eugenicist,
Margaret Sanger, whose desire was to eliminate as many blacks, Jews,
handicapped, and poor people as possible. She strongly advocated the use of
abortion for these eugenic goals as well as population control. According to
their own 2013-2014 annual report, Planned Parenthood was responsible for 327,653
abortions in 2013, making this wicked empire the biggest provider of abortions
in the United States. They also received $541 million of taxpayers’ hard-earned
money, according to their 2012-2013 annual report.
Furthermore, Planned Parenthood knowingly and willingly aids
and abets child sex traffickers, as Live Action has proved in their undercover
videos. Here is a link to seven undercover videos that prove this: http://liveaction.org/traffick/
Finally, abortion hasn’t helped humankind in any way. We
have become accustomed to this culture of death, and we are no better for it.
In abortion, the baby dies a usually very violent and painful death, sometimes
torn limb from limb, and the mother is left to deal with the fact that she murdered
her own child. A lot of women don’t easily “recover” from that, which is one of
the reasons there are so many groups around the country now to help them. Our
local Pregnancy Help Clinic has Abortion Aftercare groups for just this reason.
They also assist with adoption. Call Pregnancy Help Clinic for more information
