Irony-Impaired Planned Parenthood Hosts Mother’s Day Fundraiser
UPDATE: New York Democrat Offers Another Ironic Suggestion!

Posted on | May 12, 2012 | 24 Comments

Do they lack a sense of irony? Or have no sense of shame?

As families across the nation gather to celebrate Mother’s Day, others will gather to support the abortion industry. Never one to miss a fundraising opportunity, a New York affiliate of Planned Parenthood is hosting a Mother’s Day brunch to support the clinic. . . .
This is not Planned Parenthood’s first attempt to raise money through Mother’s Day. Year after year, the abortion giant encourages supporters to donate on behalf of their mothers. . . .
The organization responsible for the death of over 300,000 children annually has no right to be raising money in honor of mothers. Abortion steals motherhood from women.

Remember this: If you were born after 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States has declared your life utterly worthless, without value, and deserving of no legal protection. That you are even alive to read this is therefore proof that God had some purpose for your life.

Why don’t you think about that? Ask yourself whether you, having miraculously survived despite the hatred of those who viewed your life with such vicious contempt, have a duty — indeed, an obligation of sacred honor — to speak up on behalf of those yet unborn.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.
Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)

UPDATE: Democrat death-monger Kirsten Gillibrand wants you to honor Mother’s Day by giving to pro-abortion EMILY’s List. (Hat-tip: Life News and Jill Stanek.) Meanwhile, the author of the article about the Planned Parenthood brunch was excited to learn she’d been linked by Doug Powers at Michelle Malkin’s site.

UPDATE II: “Get out the Kleenex”!

    You must have missed the story about Planned Parenthood having prayer services for its clients, if they want them. It hasn’t been that long ago, but its just been long enough I don’t remember the exact details.

    It’s like the Nazis holding a fundraising dinner on Passover.

    Almost as ironic as a pro-life luncheon to honor returning veterans.

     Or, almost as ironic as Pro Abortion freaks protesting the executions of mass murderers.

    What’s ironic about that? What could be more pro-life than honoring our returning veterans who’ve been bravely overseas killing our enemies? Being pro-life is pro-innocent life there is no contradiction between soldiers killing our enemies or being pro-death penalty and being pro-life.

    I wouldn’t say these lefties are irony impaired; more like tone deaf.

     I prefer to think of them as merely stupid instead of overtly evil, but I fear I give them far too much benefit of the doubt.

    Quit doing that logic thing; you’ll confuse the lefties.

    You need to stop taking Alanis Morissette so literally. It’s ruined your understanding of irony.

    Although you may have better taste in music than your comment hints, so I suppose I shouldn’t rule out plain old faulty logic in your case.

    Celebrating Mother’s Day by enabling women NOT to become mothers?

    A certain underworld “character” is very happy at the moment.

    ‘Irony impaired’ indeed. One usually finds the irony of the Left a source of amusement, but P.P. using Mother’s Day as a fund raiser is just repulsive.

    “Anti-choice” is your term for “anti-abortion.”  It is the pro-aborts who are the real “anti-choice” – they don’t give the baby any choice but death.
