I support Planned Parenthood. The great majority of the work they do is beneficial.
Abortion should be safe, legal, and abhorrent.
It is not just another medical procedure. It is a last resort.
Birth control is our most effective method for
preventing abortion.
It is reasonable, when abortion is necessary, to use
parts saved from the aborted babies for medical research. It is also reasonable
for the abortionist to be paid for their costs, without profit.
But I was troubled by the tone taken by Planned Parenthood officials in
those sleazy sneak videos. I know doctors often grow calloused about the
humanity of the bodies they work on. If I were Planned Parenthood, though, I would make it a
special concern of the whole organization to always speak respectfully of the
babies they abort, and their bodies afterwards.
