A few years ago, Planned Parenthood introduced its “Choice on Earth” holiday cards. Tasteless and wildly inappropriate though they were, they were relatively harmless. Greeting cards are not going to change the mind of anyone on the life/abortion debate. It bothers no one if radical feminazis want to send themselves cards and congratulate each other on their cleverness in subverting a Christian holiday.

That was then. This holiday season, our friends at P.P. have come up with a new holiday gift giving idea. Abortion gift certificates. You read that right. The perfect gift for the sexually irresponsible everywhere. You can now go to any Planned Parenthood office or their convenient on-line store and buy one today!

What better way to celebrate the most famous teenage pregnancy of all? This Christmas, celebrate it like King Herod with the slaughter of innocents.

I think that we, as Americans, need to pause long enough to really consider what this says about our society. We need to think about what it says about our country that death has become a suitable present for Christmas. We have become a culture which celebrates convenience, ease and narcissism. Like the rest of the industrialized world, ours is a culture that celebrates appearance over substance. Where seeming to be a good person is more important than actually being one.

Our elected leaders see children as a punishment and fertility as a burden. All that the early Church saw as a blessing, our culture now views as a terrible curse. As though babies and children were the scourge of humanity rather than its hope and future. “Children are a blessing from God,” we hear. What happens to those blessings when the people stop believing that there even is a god? I believe we are seeing it now with the holiday offerings of Planned Parenthood. When people believe themselves to be soul-less, then they begin behaving as though they have no soul.

Look at the radical pro-abortion groups who view murder as a gift, is this really the face of the hope and future of our people, or is it our destruction? I’ve heard it said many times that a declining birthrate is the mark of an advanced society; it is the sign of a dying one.

Give the gift of hope and life this Christmas season. Take that sexually irresponsible person by the hand and tell then you love them too much to sit idly by as they give parts of themselves away. Then pray with them and for them. And if you have to have a present wrapped up under the tree, how about a few pair of undies, the attractive granny-panty kind.
