Planned Parenthood is looking out for themselves

In response to Jill June's April 30 guest column, “Planned Parenthood offers needed care for women and families”:
Jill June, president of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, seems to say that pregnant females would feel better about themselves for killing their unborn innocent baby than if they chose to give birth and choose adoption.
Girls and women, where is your intestinal fortitude, to think of the innocent first instead of yourself? Planned Parenthood and other like facilities are looking out for themselves - money. Where is Planned Parenthood when years later you have to face the fact that you took the life of an innocent child? Women, men and youth do sometimes depend on Planned Parenthood instead of depending on their own conscience of good and evil.
Whether you want to face it or not, the truth is pre-born boys and girls are killed every day at the Planned Parenthood clinics in America. Don't you care that babies go to their death because of inconvenience, fear, money or pressure from others? Of course, lest we forget, these innocents are not people, just as Jews in the Holocaust were not considered people by their oppressors.
Readers, you must get involved. You can pretend abortion is not going on and look the other way, but you are not facing truth. We are decades overdue in stopping the atrocity of killing our own babies.
