Terry Jeffrey ramped up the shrillness level of CNSNews.com’s war on Planned Parenthood in his Aug. 17 column:
By the end of September, when fiscal 2011 ends, House Speaker John Boehner must answer a simple yet profound question: Will he lead a Republican-controlled House of Representatives in enacting government funding bills for fiscal 2012 that allow tax dollars to flow to a group that kills an average of 910 unborn babies per day?
[…]In this fiscal year, Boehner caved — and permitted funding of Planned Parenthood.
In 2009, according to a fact sheet Planned Parenthood posted on its website, the group aborted 332,278 babies.
Had Planned Parenthood’s abortionists worked seven days a week for all 12 months of the year, they would have needed to slice and suction 910 babies every day to amass that death count.
Had Planned Parenthood’s abortionists worked 24 hours a day on every one of the 365 days in the year — including Christmas, Easter and the Fourth of July — they would have needed to terminate about 38 babies per hour to kill 332,278 in a year.
That’s one dead baby every 95 seconds.
Surely, there are few institutions on earth that can match Planned Parenthood’s pace in dispatching human lives. It is a true champion of death.
[…]Every additional dollar paid to Planned Parenthood will be borrowed money that future generations will need to pay off — the very generations Planned Parenthood is working to abort.
If Planned Parenthood continues to receive federal funding after Sept. 30, it only will be because Boehner cut another deal with Obama and a sufficient number of Republicans followed Boehner’s lead in forging a coalition with House Democrats to approve the deal — over the opposition of members who don’t want tax dollars going to the nation’s largest abortionist.
If Boehner takes a stand against Planned Parenthood funding, he will spark a certain-to-be-ferocious national debate in which the liberal media will use all their firepower to defend Obama and the abortionists.
Unmentioned by Jeffrey is one inconvenient fact: The federal money Planned Parenthood receives does not pay for abortions. But then, Jeffrey has committed this act of dishonesty before.
