“…nothing more than a veiled attempt to sell more cigarettes to girls and young women.”
That’s howAmerican Legacy Foundation and 45 other groups described R.J. Reynolds‘ marketing of its Camel No. 9 cigarettes in a letter to the tobacco giant dated Aug. 14. Surprisingly, the name, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was listed as a co-signer of the letter.
Why would Planned Parenthood’s involvement in the anti-tobacco effort surprise me? I’m not surprised by the fact that the world’s largest pro-abortion organization is involved in an anti-tobacco effort. Rather, I’m stunned that the group has — to borrow a phrase from Barack Obama’s bookshelf — the audacity to pretend to share an interest in the welfare of girls and young women.
The abortions arranged by Planned Parenthood cause girls and young women a kind of immediate and long-lasting pain that I suspect makes the pain of tobacco-related terminal lung cancer pale in comparison. For Planned Parenthood to pretend to be concerned about the welfare of the same people upon whom they inflict so much pain, well, that strikes me as a bit hypocritical to say the least.
Hat tip to AdRants.

Have ya ever had an abortion or been in one of the clinic’s Bob? Probably not, so don’t try to bore us with dribble about a subject you don’t know a bloomin thing about!
The last time I looked, this was a free country and if I want to smoke, that’s my business, not yours and we don’t need some zealot like you trying to persuade us to do what you want!
Thanks

Planned Parenthood — the name says it all. The liberals (or in my opinion, Communists) want to plan every aspect of our lives. We become the slaves, and they become the master. Good article!
