◼ The Planned Parenthood abortion business has rolled out its 2012 election campaign with the theme “Women are Watching” – although the only thing the women of Planned Parenthood will watch is how much or little candidates promote abortion. - Lifenews.com
Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said the goal is to “let politicians know that the nearly six million supporters of Planned Parenthood are watching what they’re doing” and for the abortion business to “encourage [women] to pay attention to what politicians are saying, to be informed voters next November, and to protect women’s health and to expand access to women’s care” — i.e. abortion.
Richards told Cosmopolitan, the pro-abortion women’s magazine, that the goal is also to move away from the issue of abortion — a losing one now that polls consistently show a majority of Americans are pro-life, oppose abortions in most instances and believe abortions destroy a human life.
“It used to be either you were pro-choice or anti-choice,” she said. “Now we’ve shifted away from that. The conversation is going far beyond pro-choice and it’s becoming much broader. It’s about access to birth control, family planning, and preventative care.”
The new web site bashes pro-life candidates like Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and Iowa congressman Steve King, one of the pro-life leaders in the House.
The pro-life women’s political group Susan B. Anthony List criticized Planned Parenthood and the presumption that their “Women are Watching” campaign speaks for women in the political process.
