UNBORN BABY MURDER CELEBRATED: PLANNED PARENTHOOD BILLBOARDS IN IOWA-“I AM NOT ASHAMED”, “I AM NOT APOLOGIZING” FOR ABORTION
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
DES MOINES, Iowa — Planned Parenthood of the
Heartland has announced that it has launched a billboard campaign in an
effort to put faces to women who have had an abortion and aren’t sorry
for it.
“I had an abortion, and I am not ashamed,” “I had an abortion, and I
am not apologizing for it” and “I had an abortion, and it was just
health care” the billboards read, and feature the faces of three women
who ended the life of their unborn child.
The campaign is called #SayAbortion, and is meant to counter a bill
that was passed last year that would ban abortion whenever a heartbeat
is detected. The legislation has yet to be enacted as it is under
injunction due to a lawsuit from Planned Parenthood.
“Planned Parenthood envisions a culture where abortion access is
understood as a basic human right, an essential part of healthcare and a
normal part of life,” Jill Meadows, the medical director for Planned
Parenthood of the Heartland, said in a statement.
“Abortion is incredibly common, yet too often people who have
abortions are made to feel like they can’t talk about it, or when they
do speak up their stories and voices drowned out by the politics,” she
remarked. “With the #SayAbortion campaign, we are putting a stop to the
extreme anti-choice interest groups speaking over our patients.”
Planned Parenthood additionally outlines in its press release that
“#SayAbortion is rooted in the fundamental facts that access to safe,
legal abortion care is central to reproductive health, and that bodily
autonomy is critical to achieving full equality.”
Billboards have currently been purchased in Des Moines, with
advertisements also set to be displayed in Ames, Cedar Falls, Cedar
Rapids, Council Bluffs and Iowa City.
Planned Parenthood has also set up a website for its #SayAbortion
campaign, which includes videos of the women talking about their views
on abortion and sharing their stories as to why they chose to abort.
“I want people to be able to talk about their abortions like they
talk about their colonoscopies,” said campaign participant Rachel Goss.
“[It’s] not something everybody wants to do, but sometimes we have to
make decisions for our bodies or our health—mental health or physical
health, whatever it is—to make us full, whole human beings.”
She stated that she personally obtained an abortion because she was
single, in school and making minimum wage, and that it “was just not
realistic” to be a mother at the time.
“If I would have been forced to raise a baby, I know for sure I
wouldn’t be a nurse,” also said interviewee Amanda Hammon. “I wouldn’t
have probably any of the kids that I have now. I probably wouldn’t have
experienced the real joys of motherhood that are there. I probably would
have been overwhelmed [and] stressed. … I look at my children now, and
think I wouldn’t have any of them had I made a different decision.”
As previously reported,
in the 1992 ruling of Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Supreme Court
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, a Reagan appointee, opined in support of
the availability of abortion, “The ability of women to participate
equally in the economic and social life of the nation has been
facilitated by their ability to control their reproductive lives.”
However, others note that a woman’s choice is made when she willingly
chooses to engage in reproductive activity, and after a life is created
from that decision, it is too late to undo the choice.
“[D]on’t forget that in 99% of all abortions, the woman having the
abortion chose to have sexual intercourse. Therefore, it could just as
easily be argued that these women already made their choice when they
chose to engage in behavior that often leads to pregnancy,” writes the
site AbortionFacts.com.
“Men and women are free to choose to abstain from sex or to use birth
control or to do neither. But when a woman is pregnant, the choice she
has made has produced a new human being. As one woman has pointed out:
‘After a woman is pregnant, she cannot choose whether or not she wishes
to become a mother. She already is, and since the child is already
present in her womb, all that is left to her to decide is whether she
will deliver her baby dead or alive.’”
“Once the baby is born, the woman is again free to choose: She can
keep the child or give him up for adoption. The choice pro-lifers oppose
is the choice that takes an innocent life.”
1 Thessalonians 4: 3-8 reads, “For this is the will of God, even your
sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication, that every one
of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and
honor, not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know
not God. … For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto
holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who
hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit.”
Jeremiah 8:12 laments, “Were they ashamed when they had committed
abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they
blush.”
challenging a state law that requires that abortions be performed by
doctors, the Post Falls Press reports.
because it unnecessarily restricts women’s access to abortion. Citing
research by pro-abortion activists, their lawsuit argues that nurse
practitioners, nurse midwives and physician assistants can “safely and
effectively” perform abortions, according to the report.
hurting for doctors willing to abort unborn babies. There are similar
lawsuits challenging laws in Maine and Montana.
Under the current law, women often
have to travel long distances within a narrow window of time in order
to receive an abortion, [Kim Clark, a senior attorney with Legal Voice]
and others behind the lawsuit say.
There are five
abortion-providing facilities in Idaho, including three Planned
Parenthood clinics in Twin Falls, Boise and Meridian. A shortage of
physicians in Idaho, particularly in rural areas, exacerbates
accessibility-related challenges, the lawsuit’s plaintiffs say.
If
the statute were changed to let advanced practice clinicians perform
abortions, the lawsuit’s plaintiffs say, existing clinics could offer
abortion services more days a week, with the potential for additional
new clinics to open. Ninety-five percent of Idaho counties do not have a
clinic that provides abortions, with 68 percent of Idaho women living
in those counties, according to data from 2014.
non-doctors to abort unborn babies. The new law has put countless women
and their unborn babies in jeopardy. One study found that abortions done by non-physicians were twice as likely to have complications as those done by licensed physicians.
life-destroying business. Abortion rates are dropping and abortion
clinics have been closing partly because fewer doctors are willing to
abort unborn babies.
where abortion access is understood as a basic human right, an essential
part of health care and a normal part of life. We are amplifying the
voices of real people who have had abortions, we are talking about
abortion care out loud, and we are shifting the narrative so all people
can talk openly about abortion with sensitivity to the complexity of
real-life individual experiences.

Parenthood and the billboards: “They are trying to bolster a larger
movement in Iowa that they simply don’t have.”
more than 51 percent” in the past decade and 21 Planned Parenthood
centers have closed between 2010 and 2017, leaving just eight remaining
in the entire state.
However, a Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll last fall showed
that 54 percent of Iowans believe abortion should be legal in most or
all cases.
Democrat-led House bill that would end the government shut-down but
wouldn’t fund the border wall and would instead use tax dollars to fund abortions overseas. Russell Moore has recently joined with 24 other “faith leaders” to urge the president to not cut foreign welfare no matter what.
Moore, who also recently signed a statement in partnership with Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and Cultists claiming the apparent equality of all religions, signed this letter sent to the POTUS, begging him to continue funding “foreign assistance programs.”
Keep in mind that the current government shutdown has had a
horrendous affect upon American farmers who rely upon the funding and
expected payments by the USDA in exchange for their labor. Keep in mind
the current government shutdown has adverse consequences on Americans in
many different walks of life, and not just federal employees on
holiday. While many feel the shutdown is necessary in order to
strengthen our national sovereign borders, the delay of government
funding still hurts.
Russell Moore and his associates in the liberal branch of
evangelicalism have not gone to bat for you hurting Americans, urging
Democrats in the House of Representatives to fund the border wall that
was already approved by a lawful act of Congress. No, Moore and his
associates have sent an aggressive letter to Donald Trump
urging him to not help Americans, but remember to fund the same types
of foreign aid that – in the past – have paid for abortions overseas.
According to CBN news, the letter was sent from Russell Moore, Leith
Anderson (the president of the National Association of Evangelicals,
which just officially agreed to an expansion of LGBTQ “rights”), NAR
Apostle Sammy Rodriguez, former SBC President Ronnie Floyd, and others.
Most of the other signers are of the same Soros-funded and
Soros-created group, Evangelical Immigration Table, of which Moore,
Anderson, and Rodriguez are all members. And now, they’re pressuring the
President to end the shutdown, even if it means funding the abortion provision bill by House Democrats.
Addressed to Trump, Pence, and National Security Advisor, John
Bolton, the letter cited Jesus’ words from Luke in which Jesus said,
“from everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded.”
The letter continued:
Our nation has been richly
blessed, and we have the privilege and obligation to share some of those
blessings with those in need around the world. We do this through our
private missionary, development, and humanitarian programs. But our
government also has an indispensable role to play in diplomacy and in
poverty-focused assistance programs.
Of course, Moore, Rodriguez, and Anderson all represent powerful,
influential, and wealthy evangelical groups that could spend millions of
dollars on overseas poverty relief, should they be so inclined. The
budget for the ERLC is 4 million dollars from the Cooperative Program of
the SBC alone, not to mention the money passed under the table by
leftist billionaires, James Riady and George Soros. Asking the
government to fund foreign welfare but not asking them to secure our borders demonstrates the Beltway world these men live in.
The letter ended by expressing, “These programs help make the United
States a great nation, and they also contribute to our security and
continued prosperity.”
Of course, none of the aforementioned men are on record asking for a
border wall to help our nation’s security and continued prosperity.
These evangelicals, led by Russell Moore, are tools of the Democratic
left. Instead of lobbying Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to urge them
to end the government shutdown by funding previous congressional
commitments – the border wall – they are insisting that Donald Trump end
the shut down so he can continue using American tax dollars to
strengthen every nation but America.
