What’s PP doing on MLK Day?
Wow. Planned Parenthood is really something else. After what happened in Haiti, they think people want The Pill more than they want food and clean water. Can you imagine sending money to PP to fund that? Morons.

On the anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest civil rights leaders in history, who eloquently preached and fought for the sanctity of human life and the dignity of every human being, two stories that crossed my path struck me as jarring.
Planned Parenthood is sending condoms and birth control pills to Haiti.
“At the International Planned Parenthood secure giving web page, the abortion giant says PROFAMIL has been operating in Haiti since 1984 to provide “sexual and reproductive healthcare.”
“The group “educates the public about prevention and ensures widespread access to condoms” to “young people aged 10-25″ with “regular condom demonstrations.”
“In other words, Planned Parenthood is asking for money to help it pass out condoms and birth control to children who are looking for their next meal and medical care for injuries they and their family sustained in the earthquake.
“The Planned Parenthood Help Haiti fundraising site says its local affiliate “meets regularly with the Minister of Health to develop strategies for increasing access” to birth control and contraception and that the group regularly targets “rural communities where the people are totally isolated” and likely have little access to food and water now.”
Concerned Women for America president Wendy Wright said: “As corpses fill the streets and the world wonders how few Haitians will survive this crisis of mass proportions, Planned Parenthood’s goal is to reduce their numbers even more,”…
“Planned Parenthood exhibits its racist intentions again. If successful, Haitians would be denied the joy of children and the hope that their country will live on,” she added.”

The Haitian people do not need another hundred years on their knees, with outstretched arms, palms up, looking for miracles and accepting conditions as they are. It is too bad that well-intentioned people (and we do not imply that either the Catholics or the protestants in Haiti are evil people) do not seem to understand the damage they have done to Haiti by keeping the people poor and pregnant, confusing education with indoctrination, giving them fish rather than teaching them how to fish, and operating with a medieval world view that teaches acceptance rather than foments radical change, which is the only way that Haiti will move forward.
It’s about time the various religious organizations wake up to the problems they cause by opposing the sorts of programs that will actually make life better and help economies grow. You can’t do that by maintaining the status quo. The Haitian government, with the support of Christians of both the Catholic and protestant variety, need to encourage and support international efforts to promote birth control, safe sex, condom use, family planning and sex education. The schools must change their curriculum to teach needed vocational skills rather than doctrine, reading and writing rather than histories of the saints, focus on science rather than catechisms, promote reform rather than acceptance, encourage action rather than prayer, teach critical thinking rather than obedience to authority, advocate self-reliance rather than dependence on charity.
The U.N. tried to reform Africa by promoting birth control, condoms, and safe sex. It only made matters worse. I don’t think that that is what Haiti needs right now. And I don’t think that prayer is something that should ever be discouraged.
“keeping the people poor and pregnant, confusing education with indoctrination, giving them fish rather than teaching them how to fish, and operating with a medieval world view that teaches acceptance rather than foments radical change, which is the only way that Haiti will move forward.”
this is a load of drivel. Who is “keeping the people poor?” Which countries have ever advanced by “fomenting radical change?” How about taking the people of Haiti seriously enough to beleive that they themselves have some responsibility for who they are, and what they choose to do and not do, instead of blaming random people?
The point of the original post was that more condoms is not the answer to Haiti’s problems, especially after an earthquake. for crying out loud, they’ve got a lot of other more immediate needs, don’t you think?
