Planned Parenthood's Use of
Mother’s Day for Fundraising Called "the Ultimate in
Insensitivity" by "Silent No More" Leaders
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 9, 2008
Staten Island, NY – A Mother's Day fundraising appeal by
abortion provider Planned Parenthood was decried today by leaders of the Silent
No More Awareness Campaign, the world's largest network of women and men harmed
by abortion.
"For Planned Parenthood to ask for 'Mother's Day Gifts' is
beyond appalling," said Janet Morana, Co-Founder of SNMAC. "This is an
organization that has turned Mother's Day into a painful reminder of terminated
children for millions and millions of women. To ask for money on this day so
that it can traumatize even more women is the ultimate in insensitivity."
"The irony of Planned Parenthood asking for Mother's Day
donations in honor of mothers and daughters hardly needs pointing out," added
Georgette Forney, another SNMAC Co-Founder. "Planned Parenthood already took
our money when they aborted our children; I guess now they want money for the
ones they missed."
Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood's president, writes
with pride that one of her daughters is carrying on her family's legacy of
fighting for abortion," added Ms. Forney. "Ms. Richards has admitted, but
refused to discuss, that she aborted one of her other children. I wonder what
legacy she thinks she left that baby?"
Since the launching of the
Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 2,326 women and
men have shared their testimonies publicly at 189 gatherings
in 44 states and six countries where more than 15,000
spectators have heard the truth about abortion’s negative
aftereffects. More than 4,100 people are registered to be
Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful
aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope
with the pain are two of the Campaign’s goals.
The Silent No More Awareness
Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and
Priests for Life.
