Dear Editor:
The extremist pro-abortion groups (Planned Parenthood and National Organization for Women) are again spouting talking points in the attempt to discredit anyone who speaks out against the ghastly abortion industry. Really Sue (Gibson), editing "the tapes in a manner designed to cause alarm"?
The recently released recordings are indeed inflammatory as they bring the horrors of the abortion industry to the attention of those with their heads in the sand. Someone needed to awaken the "sleeping giant" to these atrocities. There is nothing deceitful about the terms "babies, body parts, and selling." The recordings were quite clear.
Am I to understand every woman (except for Missourians) obtaining an abortion have agreed to the selling/donating of their baby's body parts? Have any requested compensation for their donation? Wonder if that mother would have hesitated knowing her baby's heart beat prior to their face being removed so their brain could be recovered? It does not matter how one tries to justify this with "advancing medical knowledge, treatments and vaccines" as the means do not justify the end result. This is barbarism at its very worst.
I hope the state Legislature and Congress bring down the abortion industry and close their butcher shops forever. For those soulless proponents of this infamous industry, I hope their eyes are opened and their hearts changed before their time has passed.
Sue, you indicate "70,000 Missourians depend on Planned Parenthood for birth control, screenings for cancer and sexually transmitted infections, and well-woman exams." So the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) doesn't cover these services and no other source is available?
Lawrence Wansing, you indicate you're "not for abortion but it is fun to see these Republicans scream bloody murder ..." Fun? You might want to rethink your comments.
I have friends and acquaintances complaining their local churches are silent on the latest revelations concerning Planned Parenthood. In the end, it will matter little if the church, no matter the affiliation, remains quiet as all of us are complicit and have blood on our hands.
Almighty God will either bless America or curse us as a nation and remove His hand of protection. May God help us, forgive us, and heal our land.
