Right to Life stands behind its efforts at the Capitol

Right to Life of Michigan's legislative director Ed Rivet wrote an editorial to the Lansing State Journal in response to an editorial by Planned Parenthood's Sarah Scranton. Scranton's editorial claimed Right to Life of Michigan is an "extreme anti-choice group."
Planned Parenthood political activist Sarah Scranton used the State Journal recently to call on Gov.-elect Rick Snyder to "reject the Right to Life agenda" in the upcoming legislative session. She refers to Right to Life of Michigan as an "extreme anti-choice group."

But who has the extreme agenda? Is Planned Parenthood prepared to again object to legislation banning the horrific partial birth abortion procedure?

Huge majorities of the public support such a ban. Yet Scranton's group successfully lobbied Gov. Jennifer Granholm to twice veto such bills.....

Their own annual report shows Planned Parenthood makes hundreds of millions of dollars by performing abortions. That is not family planning, but instead killing a member of the human family.....

Planned Parenthood might do well to stay focused on what they claim their real goal is, eliminating unplanned pregnancies.

If they would do that, and stop destroying the "pregnancies" (fetuses/babies) already conceived, they might have less reason to publicly wring their hands and beg the incoming governor to protect their financial interests.
