That's the Christmas Spirit!

Cause Christmas is all about a liberated woman who gets pregnant at the age of fourteen, is faced with squalid circumstances and the enmity of the authorities for giving birth, is engaged to a construction worker...and so of course gets one of these!

A number of Planned Parenthood clinics in Indiana and Illinois are offering gift certificates for their services this Christmas.

Officials say the vouchers enable people to give their loved ones "the gift of life" — that would help pay for annual checkups and birth control — but also can be used for abortions.Chrystal Struben-Hall with Planned Parenthood of Indiana said the idea is a response to economic woes that have forced many women to put health care at the bottom of their to-do list.

"People are making really tough decisions about putting gas in their car and food on their table," Struben-Hall said...

Talk about tone-deaf. Or aiming to offend. Or...I don't know what.

Mater Dei, ora pro nobis!
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
Joseph, Protector of the Church, pray for us!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
