The nation’s largest abortion provider regularly claims that it provides “life-saving” services while highlighting “pro-life” abortionists. But as it continues toying with double entendres, Planned Parenthood’s language appears less as a mere coincidence and more as a blatant mockery of the pro-life movement.
The latest example came on June 15, when Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the abortion giant’s political arm, announced its endorsement of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as he challenges President Trump in the upcoming election. According to Planned Parenthood’s acting president, the November election will be a matter of “life and death.”
Speaking with NPR, Alexis McGill Johnson used the phrase despite the pro-life stance that every abortion spells death – by intentionally destroying an innocent life.
“This is literally a life and death election,” McGill Johnson insisted. “We felt like we can’t endure another four years of Trump; we have to do everything we can to get him out of office.”
In a video publicizing the endorsement, McGill Johnson added that Americans rely on her organization “to build their lives and pursue their dreams.” Never mind that Planned Parenthood crushes the lives of hundreds of thousands of unborn babies in abortion each year.
According to its 2018—2019 annual report, Planned Parenthood provided 345,672 abortions in just one year while also receiving $616.8 million in taxpayer funding, or “Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants.”
But McGill Johnson’s wording isn’t new for Planned Parenthood. Before the 2016 presidential election, Cecile Richards, then president of Planned Parenthood, recommended that Americans “vote like your life depends on it!”
At the same time, Planned Parenthood asks Americans to refrain from using “pro-life” terminology. The organization recommends that Americans call abortion supporters “Pro-Reproductive Rights” instead of “Pro-Choice” and describe those who challenge abortion as “Anti-Abortion” instead of “Pro-Life.”
“Generally, people who identify as pro-choice believe that everyone has the basic human right to decide when and whether to have children,” a representative named Miriam summarized to teens in October. “People who oppose abortion often call themselves pro-life,” even though the “only life many of them are concerned with is the life of the fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus.”
