We have reached a truly barbaric stage in our society. So barbaric, in fact, that pro-abortion zealots like the head of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates won’t even say yes to helping babies who are born alive in botched abortions — in other words, attempted abortions resulting in a healthy living, breathing baby. In this column, Mona Charen details how a Florida legislator was so stunned by Planned Parenthood’s position that he did a verbal double-take.
“So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief. If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?”
Ms. Snow responded that her organization “believes that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family and the physician.” In short, as the Weekly Standard summarized, Florida Planned Parenthood is in favor of “post-birth abortion.” This is consistent with the position of the president of the United States and most members of the caring party.
Heaven help us.
