Tomorrow marks one month since the release of the first undercover Planned Parenthood video. Since that time, five more videos have come to the surface. I have no doubt that there will be more.
It seems that the videos are getting progressively more atrocious. As the month of July progressed, America witnessed high-ups in the so-called "Non-Profit Health Provider" organization say and do some truly horrendous things. Dr. Deborah Nucatola cheerily sipped wine as she discussed the harvesting of fetal body parts. Executive Mary Gatter joked that she wanted to buy a Lamborghini when negotiating prices for the selling of those body parts. Savita Ginde talks about how every Planned Parenthood clinic must have the same story in case they were ever to get caught in their trafficking. We have even seen "another boy" brutally ripped apart as his body parts are sorted for sale. Whenever Americans may have thought it couldn't get worse, it quickly did.
But as the weeks have gone by, I have noticed something else. Even as the revelations are growing more terrible, the American people are gradually going silent again. The media has turned back to elections, to wildfires, to Confederate flags, and to the Middle East. Of course these are important topics that need to be covered, but it is important that Planned Parenthood stays in the public eye until the issues that have been revealed are dealt with.
I was watching the Republican Presidential Debate a week ago, and one particular candidate angered me. Though he claimed to be a believer in the fact that life begins at conception, his following statement was astounding: "...Roe v. Wade has been the law for 42
years, and I don’t think we should continue to try to change it."
Is this the attitude that Americans are now taking on regarding Planned Parenthood? Just because they have been in business for almost 100 years, does that mean we should continue allowing them to do what they are doing?
We cannot let this story fade from view. This is even a bigger issue than the question of who will be the next President of the U.S. The lives of millions of unborn children are at stake. Their Constitutional rights are being violated, and it is time that we as Americans stand up and do something about it.
You and I are responsible for keeping Planned Parenthood in the forefront of our country's mind. The organization has blood on its hands, and it should not be allowed to keep those hands behind its back any longer. If we are silent, then the blood of those unborn babies is on our hands as well. It's time to speak up for the speechless. Everyone needs to know what Planned Parenthood has been doing, and our government must do something about it. Keep this story alive. Don't let it fade.
