“Planned Parenthood’s new t-shirt confirms that the abortion chain lacks any sense of integrity, tact, and compassion. This shirt’s message celebrates an act of violence that is traumatic for women, and worst of all, kills an innocent child,” said Jim Sedlak, executive director of American Life League’s STOPP International, in response to the release of Planned Parenthood’s new t-shirt proclaiming, “I had an abortion.”
Sedlak believes the release of the shirt is part of an ongoing marketing campaign pushing Planned Parenthood’s radical agenda. “This latest stunt goes right along with the philosophies which have produced such items as a ‘Choice On Earth’ holiday card and a Florida advertisement which said, “Give the gift that stops giving…a gift certificate for a holiday vasectomy at Planned Parenthood,’” he said.
According to Sedlak, the fact that Planned Parenthood affiliates in Idaho and the Carolinas have gone public with their disapproval of the t-shirt affirms that most Planned Parenthood volunteers and employees do not have a true understanding of what the organization is really about. “Planned Parenthood was founded by a staunch racist who firmly believed in the eugenics movement. This organization is now the single largest abortion provider in the country,” said Sedlak. “I am positive that is not well known by Planned Parenthood’s supporters and customers.”
STOPP officials are willing to pay all expenses to travel to any Planned Parenthood clinic in the United States to do a one-day education program for employees and volunteers about the true nature and history of the organization. “When people know the truth, they recognize that Planned Parenthood is not a benevolent healthcare organization, but rather, a lucrative business that profits from selling sex and aborting babies,” said Sedlak.
