Speechless


Is this for real? If so, Planned Parenthood has stooped pretty much as low as it gets, advertising abortion as something cool and even necessary to "go green."


Apparently, a woman in Brazil started this trend. She writes, "I thought it was a wonderful way to break the taboo. . . I did a t-shirt saying, Eu fiz um aborto. Eu fiz um aborto (I had an abortion. I had an abortion). . . I got to confess I was a little frightened about it. To get eggs throw at me or to be slapped or something. . . But then I thought of all the women I was standing up for and that gave me some courage." (Source: http://www.womenonwaves.org/set-177-en.html)

I have an idea: How about instead we advertise all the women who make the selfless decision to raise the child or give him or her up for adoption? How about we celebrate the people who DON'T try to make killing babies look totally awesome?

My heart goes out to the women who have had abortions and the pain of regret they feel, but let's find a different way to show that support. Such as sharing the love of the Savior and His atonement, as that is the only conduit to true healing-- not a public declaration on a shirt.
