Planned Parenthood: ‘Where Did We Lose Our Humanity?’

To the Editor:
Two years ago, people were horrified by the grotesque practices of Kermit Gosnell in his abortion clinic in Philadelphia. Gosnell not only aborted late-term babies but murdered them if they were born alive. These horror stories filled the newspapers. His methods of killing babies both in and outside the womb shocked everyone. Fast forward to today with the over nine videos of doctors and representatives of Planned Parenthood discussing ways they can dissect the parts from living babies in order to have viable parts to sell and get a better price. All of this was captured on tape while they were enjoying their lunch. Because their butchery takes place inside the womb, they are protected by law. It is the same baby inside or out. If you go on the Internet and look up the gestation periods for a child it states that you can hear a heartbeat at six weeks and at the end of three months all organs are completely formed and functioning. The baby can be seen wiggling and waving in ultrasounds. I wonder if Planned Parenthood ever shows this to their clients or even counsels them on the option of having the baby.
Babies feel pain at 20 weeks yet we are one of only a few nations that still allow elective abortions past 20 weeks, along with China and South Korea.
Online at the Guttmacher Institute, which is a division of Planned Parenthood, you can see the constantly changing count of abortions being performed all over the world as though this was some statistic to commemorate. There have been over 58 million abortions since Roe vs. Wade in 1973. In comparison the Holocaust killed over 11 million people, six million of them Jews. Abortion is our Holcaust on the most vulnerable and innocent. Planned Parenthood now conducts over 60 percent of all abortions performed in the U.S. Taxpayers pay for almost 50 percent of their budget which enables them to build more abortion mills. They claim they use the money to perform mammograms and yet many of their clinics do not even offer mammograms. Where did we lose our humanity to let this happen?
What is so ironic is that there is more horror over Cecil the lion being killed in Africa than the babies being slaughtered here every day. I quote Mother Theresa who said, “If a mother can kill her own child – what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me – there is nothing between.”
