Saturday is my birthday.  It will be my 34th birthday.  Think about this.  How many birthdays has Planned Parenthood (PP) prevented?  Here’s what we do know.  Since 1973, PP has performed over 6.6 million legal abortions in that time.  (source)  Obviously there is no way of knowing exactly how many birthdays have been prevented.  But, take a guess.  10 million?  100 million?  Of course, they have been operating for nearly 100 years, so 6.6 million legal abortions is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

I have previously written about PP.  (see below)  In one article I wrote that I believe PP would have advised my wife to have an abortion.  Today I can look back and remember 8 birthdays that I have celebrated with my oldest daughter.  PP would have stolen those memories from me.  They would have prevented them from ever happening.

Planned Parenthood Videos – Watch Them

Hopefully you are aware of the undercover videos that have been published.  In these videos, PP leaders are filmed discussing the sale of baby body parts.  In other words, they not only kill the baby, they also sell off her ‘harvestable’ parts to the highest bidder so that medical research can be done.

Please understand me, I am all in favor of medical research.  It is a fantastic thing.  However, medical research does not validate murder.  We should not kill someone in order to run tests on their body.

The videos are very disturbing.  I have watched some, but not all of them.  I believe it is important to watch them.  We need to ask our neighbors and friends about these videos.  We need to talk about the realities of what PP is doing.  The hard part is having these conversations while keeping our emotions under control.

Next time you celebrate a birthday, think about Planned Parenthood.  Pray that abortion will be stopped.  Pray for the unborn child who has no rights.  Pray for the unborn child who is not given a choice.
