Planned Parenthood Only Murders 3% Of The Time, So it's Okay

If there was ever an epitome of pure evil, this is it.

Planned Parenthood Only Murders 3% Of The Time, So it's Okay
nationofchange.org

Last week Planned Parenthood released a new ad reminding viewers that they provide a lot more than just abortion services for their patients. The ad features a variety of people talking about the things Planned Parenthood helps them with, none of whom mention abortion.

This isn't the first time Planned Parenthood has tried to distract people from their abortions. For years now they have been trying hard to draw more attention to the other services they provide and have reminded us time and time again that abortion is only about 3% of what goes on at Planned Parenthood.

So obviously, we would be crazy to ever question them.

Let's forget the fact that this 3% thing has actually been proved to be false, or that Planned Parenthood actually does make most of its revenue from abortion services or the fact that you and I are the ones supporting this organization. Even if they were actually being honest about these figures and the government wasn't supporting them, it would still be horrendous.

Let me also point out that the numbers do not matter here. Abortion could only make up 2% of what they do. It could be 1%. It could be .00001% and guess what, it would STILL be wrong.

I am just wondering, in what other situation would this logic be accepted? Where else in society would the idea of killing only a "little bit" be a legitimate argument?

If a serial killer pleaded guilty to killing a few people but pointed out that he spent most of his time volunteering, would he be let off?

You may not know it, but the Nazi Party actually did some very good things. They worked hard to conserve endangered animals, had one of the largest and most successful welfare programs in history, made medical advances and are credited with many modern inventions we use today. Why do we not talk about any of these things? Well, it is probably because they murdered 6 million innocent people (which is actually less people than Planned Parenthood has killed).

My point it that no matter how many good things somebody does, it should never justify a murder. As a woman I realize that birth control, flu shots and breast exams are very important things that women (and men) need, but no matter how important they are, they do not make murder okay. There is a way to take care of our women without having to murder.

Our generation cannot allow ourselves to be fooled by this organization. Rather than trying to distract from their abortion services, Planned Parenthood should stop performing them altogether.

In the end it doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman. It doesn't matter if you are a republican or a democrat. It doesn't matter if you are religious or not. Killing a child should never be okay.

Our society is in serious trouble if accept this twisted logic. We cannot simply look away from this disturbing reality no matter how convincing their ads may be.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
