Planned Parenthood’s ironic tweet claims ‘no matter where you live,’ you should be free from violence

Last week, the shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, horrified the entire world. A man, allegedly a white supremacist, live-streamed his attack as he gunned down innocent worshippers inside two mosques. The death toll was 50 people, with their ages ranging from a two-year-old to a 71-year-old. People almost immediately began sending their sympathies and expressing outrage; Planned Parenthood, the abortion corporation, likewise wasted no time doing the same. In a tweet that earned the abortion corporation many rebukes, Planned Parenthood rightly said that all people deserve to live free from fear and violence. What they seemed to miss was the terrible irony in their statement.

It’s rich for Planned Parenthood to say that everyone deserves to live free from fear or violence, no matter where they live, considering that their entire business model is centered around targeting human beings for violence based solely upon where they live. After all, it’s a scientific fact that preborn children are human beings, with beating hearts just 16-21 days after fertilization and detectable brain waves as early as six weeks. One of Planned Parenthood’s own abortionists, Dr. Lisa Harris, has admitted that abortion is an act of violence against a human being in the womb — and yet, she continues to commit abortions.

The Endowment for Human Development, an unbiased non-profit organization, outlines numerous facts concerning fetal development, all of which proves the humanity of preborn children. Yet they are still considered fair game when it comes to violence, simply because they reside within their mother’s womb.

Planned Parenthood’s criticism of white supremacy and hatred is also ironic given its history of eugenics and — according to some —  racism, even extending to present day. Critics of Planned Parenthood point out that it has placed the majority of its facilities in minority neighborhoods, has pressured black women into sterilization, and has shown willingness to accept donations earmarked for black babies specifically to be aborted.

The tweet itself is right, in that no one should be targeted for violence because of their race or religion, or because of where they live, or because of a possible disability. Yet that’s exactly what Planned Parenthood does, every single day. So for them to claim that these are principles they hold is laughable; these are nothing more than empty words to an organization that takes more than 330,000 human lives every year.
