This is the latest piece of merchandise from Planned Parenthood. Just $15.

This is why the abortion debate in America is such a mess. I find it really hard to digest the whole “right to choose” argument, when it’s so obvious that Planned Parenthood isn’t really about choice. They are about profit.

I think most Americans would agree that America is a better place when we have fewer abortions. Even my pro-choice friends agree that regardless of the legal status of abortion, when a women chooses to have an abortion, it’s not something to celebrate. It’s a hard choice usually made in a hard situation. It’s often seen as being the best of several alternatives. In an ideal world, no matter what your stance is on Roe v. Wade, woman wouldn’t feel like they have to choose to have an abortion.

I don’t think Planned Parenthood feels this way. They exist to promote abortion because it benefits them. I don’t think they can participate in this debate in good faith when they have ulterior motives for supporting the pro-choice movement.

I think we need leaders who can stop looking at abortion as a legal debate and instead focus on it as a health and human services debate. Is there a way to preserve a woman’s right to choose while decreasing the number of abortions performed in this country? That’s where the work begins.
