Planned Parenthood’s press release (9/16) about its award to the late Senator Frank Lautenberg reflects PP’s constant campaign of euphemism, doubletalk, and evasion to avoid talking about its central goal: expanding its abortion business and getting you, the taxpayer, to pay for it.

Using phrases like “women’s health” and “leadership,” PP tries to dodge the question of its very profitable involvement with the extermination of human life.

Frank Lautenberg, unfortunately, wanted to force you—the taxpayer—whether you supported PP’s pro-death agenda or not, to support them. There are, alas, lots of other New Jersey politicians—some of them mentioned in the article, like Congressman Frank Pallone—some of them not, like State Senator Joe Vitale and Assemblyman John Wisniewski—who are in PP’s back pocket and want to keep PP in yours.

A sting operation already showed us how a Perth Amboy abortion clinic “protected” women’s health by telling people to lie about a minor’s age. We already know how a Philadelphia abortionist slit the necks of newborns while profiting from abortions in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy. “Care” like that doesn’t merit federal funds; it deserves a federal investigation.
