Tim Tebow and Planned Parenthood

Faith

You’ve no doubt heard about the upcoming controversial Super Bowl ad in which Tim Tebow and his mother talk about her decision not to have an abortion.

In a society where ‘choice’ is the buzzword, it’s amazing that Mrs. Tebow’s choice is not celebrated. In fact, it’s demonized. The controversial decision to actually choose life is offensive to Planned Parenthood.

It seems like they just care about women. It seems like they want to help you ‘plan.’

If you are under that impression, I would like to share a few quotes from the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger:

  • “The creators of over-population are the women, who, while wringing their hands over each fresh horror, submit anew to their task of producing the multitudes who will bring about the next tragedy of civilization.”
  • “It goes without saying that this woman loses also all opportunity of personal expression outside her home. She has neither a chance to develop social qualities nor to indulge in social pleasures. The feminine element in her—that spirit which blossoms forth now and then in women free from such burdens—cannot assert itself. She can contribute nothing to the well-being of the community. She is a breeding machine and a drudge—she is not an asset but a liability to her neighborhood, to her class, to society. She can be nothing as long as she is denied means of limiting her family.”
  • “The most serious evil of our times is that of encouraging the bringing into the world of large families. The most immoral practice of the day is breeding too many children.”
  • “The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

As I’ve stated before, children are a blessing, and God even says that they are a reward. But Margaret Sanger saw them as an inconvenience at best, and a curse at worst. One of her overarching goals was to be rid of the undesirables (to her, that meant the mentally retarded, blacks, and foreigners), but children in general were a hindrance and as such, should be destroyed or prevented.

The current Planned Parenthood:

  • If your parents are stupid enough to deny you access to birth control, and you are 18, you can get it on your own. Call Planned Parenthood. (Dallas Observer, January 1986)

There is nothing about Planned Parenthood that advocates ‘Planning’ or ‘Parenthood’ today. There is nothing about respect for women or girls, and especially not families.

They define abortion as an “important medical decision” instead of the brutal murder of a helpless unborn baby.

Unfortunately, most women are clueless about the truth about Planned Parenthood, including their own employees. This video features a former director of a Texas Planned Parenthood clinic:

Many people think Planned Parenthood is all about free birth control. But look at some recent statistics:

Planned Parenthood’s income break-down for 2006-2007 fiscal year
*PP clinic income: $356.9 million
*PP Government grants and contracts: $336.7 million
*Total profit: $114.8 million
*Total income: $1.02 billion

2006 Planned Parenthood service numbers*Number of abortions (medical and surgical): 289,750
*Total number of abortions per week: 5,572
*Adoption referrals: 2,410
*Ratio of adoption referrals to abortions: 1 per 120

2007 Planned Parenthood Annual Survey
*Total number of PP clinics: 855
*Total number of non-express clinics: 814
*Express clinics: 41
*Total number of PP clinics that perform surgical and/or medical abortions: 287
*Total number of affiliates: 108
*Number of clinics that started doing abortions in 2007: 55

Other random information*Highest number of PP non-express clinics: 938 in 1995
*Total number of PP clinics in 2006: 859
*Number of states that do NOT give money to PP: 6 according to 2006 ALL study


All of this information can be found by simply looking for it. Let’s share it with the large population of girls and women who are championing ‘choice’ and ‘rights’ and help them to see that there is SO much more going on here.

Most of all, let’s remind Americans that children are a blessing, and they are our future.

    I volunteer at our local Crisis Pregnancy Center. It is amazing how many girls come in because they think that the center can provide abortions. It gives a great opportunity to talk with them and let them know that there are other options.
    I wish that everyone would realize that life begins at conception.
    Those statistics you posted are very scary.
    We DO need to get the word out!

    Very interesting. I've always been pro-life, but had no idea what beleifs places like this actually supported. I did some research on abortions when my friend was considering it and sent her multiple emails with details of what she was about to do, having never even seen it before myself…. I was shocked at what actually happens during an abortion….nothing about it is right! Most of these young girls going in to it, don't have any real concept of what they are getting into and the emotional pain they'll suffer later. Needless to say, my friend changed her mind after having more information. Thank you for this information…I will definitely pass on.

    I can't believe I'm going to admit this, but my cousin works for PP. We don't get along very well to say the least. The propaganda they are taught to spew is unbelievable. They are not an organization in the business of "helping women". They are indeed in the business of pushing the liberal agenda. My cousin, as an attorney, is in the thick of that agenda. It makes me ill.

I have two very different sons. One has been an extrovert since he could talk. The other has been an introvert for just as long. The thing about home education is that it doesn’t have to happen at home. What it really means is “not public school.” Not stuck in a classroom all day. Not confined to a government calendar. Not a slave to the system. 23 years ago I helped my aunt Kari start a homeschool co-op. At that time, I had one child and she was three years old. If you have a child that struggles to read, read to them. Read aloud every day. That’s the best advice I can give. New year. New house. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: How do I homeschool with babies and toddlers in the mix?? Don’t let people tell you that “you can’t shelter your children.” Yes, you can. And you absolutely should. Mothers have a crucial role to play in society, although their job doesn’t always feel very “crucial.” Wiping baby faces, repeating instructions, settling squabbles, and making food is repetitive and doesn’t always seem important. For 2023, I’ll be preaching the same ol’ message that I can’t stop saying: “education is discipleship,” and “you can do it” homeschooling encouragement. Not gonna make the message easier to swallow when the world is attacking children on a grander scale every day. I’m also not going to tell you that homeschooling is a breeze, but I will keep saying that it’s worth every minute.
