How Not to Get Involved

not get involved

I recently visited a website that I’ve never visited before and don’t plan to visit again. It was the website for Planned Parenthood.

For those who may be uninformed, Planned Parenthood supports, performs, and receives generous financial support for aborting infants. According to Planned Parenthood’s annual report for the 2012-2013, they performed 327,166 abortions. Their total revenue for this period of time was a little over $1 billion (yes, that’s a “b”) including $540.6 million from “Government Health Services Grants and Reimbursements.”

As I looked at their website, I was especially interested in the tab that was labeled “Get Involved.”

Here are the ways they suggested a person could get involved —

  • Share Your Story
  • Donate
  • Take Action (under this heading were all sorts of suggestions about promoting the “pro-choice” agenda)
  • Jobs & Volunteering
  • Join Us on Facebook
  • Sign up for E-mail Alerts

Maybe it’s just me, but I found it interesting that they never suggested one way for people to get involved.  Many other organizations suggest this, but not Planned Parenthood.

There is never a suggestion that people could support them by praying for their cause!

Do you think that the reason for that may be because they know that one of their activities is listed by God in His Word as one of the things He hates?  Do you think they’ve read (or at least heard about) these words?

These six things the Lord hates,

Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

A proud look,

A lying tongue,

Hands that shed innocent blood,

A heart that devises wicked plans,

Feet that are swift in running to evil,

A false witness who speaks lies,

And one who sows discord among brethren.

(Prov 6:16-19, NKJV emphasis added)
