Wash. Wal-Mart Drops Planned Parenthood Partnership

[-] Text [+]

Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest provider of surgical abortions, won’t be hosting an advertising event this week that would have promoted its services among youth outside a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Washington State, thanks to the prompt reaction and grassroots efforts of pro-life groups.

According to the American Life League (ALL), a large Richland Wal-Mart Supercenter dropped its association with the pro-choice group after a statement sent out by ALL called on pro-life advocates to bombard the retailer with hundreds of protesting e-mails and phone calls.

“They’re pushing pornography and contraception onto young children – beginning in kindergarten. Now parents aren’t even safe to go shopping without worrying Planned Parenthood will pressure their kids into promiscuous lifestyles that will increase their bloated birth control and abortion profits,” said Marie Hahnenberg, a researcher for American Life League, in the statement.

“Planned Parenthood is now in such desperate need of customers it’s willing to do anything – even stand outside shopping centers to lure young people into its clinics,” she added.

After the Richland Wal-Mart Supercenter dropped its association with Planned Parenthood, Hahnenberg thanked the retailer for “taking a stand against Planned Parenthood.

“In the spirit of Sam Walton, Wal-Mart has put the best interest of its customers first and they are to be commended for their decision,” said Hahnenberg in a new statement.

While claiming victory against the pro-choice organization, Hahnenberg stressed that pro-life groups would do good in continuing to oppose efforts by the organization in promoting its harmful agenda.

“It’s hard enough for parents to safeguard their children from Planned Parenthood’s pervasive sexualized propaganda,” she said.

“They shouldn’t have to worry about exposing their kids to Planned Parenthood’s aggressive agenda even in Wal-Mart’s parking lot,” she added.

Pro-life groups say that the recent move by Planned Parenthood is proof of its new desperation that has emerged after the organization has been increasingly challenged in lawsuits regarding its use of taxpayer funding in promoting its “comprehensive” sex education programs.

Planned Parenthood is currently in the midst of a special fundraising drive, claiming that its “crucial education and health services are needed more than ever.”

According to a report released by Planned Parenthood this year, the organization recorded record profits and the highest number of abortions on record. During the 2006-2007 period, the group performed 289,570 abortions and registered over $1 billion in profits.

    It was brought to my attention that a much larger issue with Wal Mart is the fact that it uses Chinese products. Any support of Chinese products suggests support of Chinese laws and policies--meaning pro abortion.

    If you really want to have a prolife impact, BOYCOTT WAL MART.

    If you want the Planned Parenthood beast to grow stronger and devour more babies for profit that vote for Obama who is endorsed by these pro-death organizations. McCain at least has had a consistent pro-life stance. Let's vote wisely this coming elections.

    I was wondering what Daniel Paul wondered.
    why was the event to advertise Planned Parenthood even
    planned?
    I think that there are those who are waiting in the wings of many corporations and looking for weak links.
    This is why it is always important to be alert and act when there is any attempt by corporations to harm our kids by promoting Planned Parenthood.
    I have a wary eye on Wal-mart now. Because this event should not have been planned in the first place.

    Anyone working for Planned Parenthood has got to overcome serious conscientious barriers. Very sick society and praise the Lord that Wal-Mart has turned from this evil. God have mercy!!

    Christian Post needs to have a "crying face" to had to their choices.

    Father in the name of Jesus I Pray that you expose Planned Parenthood to the whole world for what they are, and let the Faithful and even the Unsaved rise up and throw them out of our schools and communities, showing every governing body in this nation we will not allow the murder and 'merchandising' of our children. Amen.

    "According to a report released by Planned Parenthood this year, the organization recorded record profits and the highest number of abortions on record. During the 2006-2007 period, the group performed 289,570 abortions and registered over $1 billion in profits."

    I believe i read somewhere a while ago that the ones in P.P. make enourmous salaries. I will have to look that up.
    Im sure most have heard of the "body parts" of our children that are sold to so called "research" companies. Yes apparently they sell our children for profit, thats why partial birth is so important because they make large profits from it!! They are some sick people, they push our children to have sex and when they get pregnant push them to kill there children so they can make money. satan sure has there hearts.

    Matthew 6:19 "Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal.
    Mat 6:20 Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal.
    Mat 6:21 For your heart will always be where your riches are.
    Mat 6:22 "The eyes are like a lamp for the body. If your eyes are sound, your whole body will be full of light;
    Mat 6:23 but if your eyes are no good, your body will be in darkness. So if the light in you is darkness, how terribly dark it will be!
    Mat 6:24 "You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."

    What was Wally World thinking to even begin to accept that sort of idea?

    "its use of taxpayer funding in promoting its “comprehensive” sex education programs."

    Coprehensive- translation: life only has the value that YOU believe it does. There is no constant value.
