At a time of worldwide recession and during the upcoming holidays who thought that anyone would out due the atheists of the UK and USA. They are collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars and pounds in donations not in order to help anyone in any way but in order to fund ads to be displayed on busses to demonstrate just how cleaver atheists are.Read all about it:

Well, Planned Parenthood has managed to out do the atheists and themselves.
This holiday season whether you are celebrating the birth of Jesus, Hanukah, Ramadan, Kwanza, Solstice, Festivus, or nothing at all, why not help pay for the taking of a baby’s life?
Planned Parenthood of Indiana is selling gift certificates (or death certificate, you know, whatever).
I must admit that I am an unashamed supporter of planned parenthood. Yes indeed, I strongly believe that parenthood ought to be planned. Before you copulate, before you become pregnant you should plan ahead so that when you are with child you become a parent.
What does Planned Parenthood have to say?:
“‘Birth control is the best way to avoid unintended pregnancy. Avoiding unintended pregnancy is the best way to reduce abortion,’ she said. Chrystal Struben-Hall, vice president of Planned Parenthood-Indiana.”1
“Planned Parenthood said the gift cards were also redeemable to terminate an unborn child_’We decided not to put restrictions on the gift certificates so it’s for whatever people feel they need the services for most,’ Chrystal Struben-Hall, vice president of Planned Parenthood of Indiana told WISH-TV.”2
“‘Why not buy a loved one a gift this holiday season that they really need and one that will contribute to their health throughout the year?’ asked PPIN [Planned Parenthood of Indiana] President and CEO Betty Cockrum. ‘The gift certificates are also a wonderful idea for that person in your life who puts everyone else first and has been putting off taking care of her or his own health. Now, there’s no excuse for those people in your life not to get the basic health care that they need.’”3
Some interesting commentary on this issue:
“girls and women will be given another means and economic incentive to choose death rather than to choose life_Shame on Planned Parenthood for granting death certificates. The organization fails to grasp the meaning of life, let alone the spirit of the holiday season.” 4
“critics of Planned Parenthood argue the abortion provider is making a mockery of the Christmas, trivializing the plight of the unborn and continuing to denigrate people of faith, just as the organization’s various ‘Choice on Earth’ programs did in the past. ‘The tragedy is that almost 6,000 fewer children will be celebrating a first Christmas this year because they were aborted in Planned Parenthood’s Indiana clinics,’ Mike Fichter, president and CEO of Indiana Right to Life, told the Associated Press.”5
“Yes, nothing celebrates the birth of our Savior more than giving an abortion in the name of a loved one. ‘I didn’t know what to get you, honey so I sponsored a woman’s abortion in your name.’ Why give money to the Salvation Army to feed and clothe the poor, when you can give it to Planned Parenthood so that they can maximize their profits (yeah, I know they’re a nonprofit organization that makes millions of dollars and gets millions more in grants from the federal government)?”6
Planned Parenthood is a money machine that is second to none. Abortion costs range from $300 to $600 or so. Multiply that by tens of millions per year and you start getting the idea.
Obviously, her parent’s chose life
What Planned Parenthood is presenting to us is not charity, it is not a gift, it is not a contribution at all since they are not lifting a single finger to help anyone. If they wanted to help they could have embraced the spirit of the unholidays and would have provided free services or substantial discounts. This would give Black Friday a whole new meaning.
They are not helping at all but are merely claiming to do so. What they are doing is, in effect, is saying, “During a time of worldwide recession and the celebration of holidays we are telling other people to help you.” They are not helping, they are not handing out gift certificates like so much Hanukah gelt. Rather, they are saying, “The way we will help is to sit around and wait for other people to buy gift certificated for you.”
