Growing up in Washington's Yakima Valley---the apple capital of the world---I often heard the phrase, "An apple never falls far from the tree."
Planned Parenthood recently sent out this tweet:
"If you're a black woman in America, it's statistically safer to have an abortion than to carry a pregnancy to term or give birth."
Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger referred to blacks and others she deemed "unacceptable" as "human weeds" and a menace to the human race.
Over the past 100 years, the apple has fallen...and it lies at the trunk of the tree.
Jim Sedlak with American Life League told One News Now, "This statement is something Planned Parenthood has claimed for years."
"However," he says, "they have no backup, no statistics on this at all. It's something they invented."
It is well documented that Margaret Sanger was a racist. Read this. And this.
This tweet casts a larger shadow.
It is true that Planned Parenthood will say anything to advance the vision of their founder and current leadership---and their lucrative abortion business.
Sedlak refers to an investigation conducted in 2015 by the pro-life group "Live Action" in which pro-lifers posing as potential donors called various Planned Parenthood centers. Live Action taped the responses as to whether financial donations could be earmarked for the killing of pre-born black babies.
In each taped call, Planned Parenthood employees were quite willing to accept those funds and readily agreed to use the money to abort specifically black babies.
They are a racist organization---the apple lies at the trunk of the tree. A quick check shows that the majority of PP "clinics"---"abortuaries" are located in or near minority neighborhoods.
And Margaret Sanger's "weeds" extend beyond exterminating minority communities---to discrediting and removing those who expose taxpayer funding of the "health care" organization.
We have heard a lot about The company "Fusion GPS" lately in regard to the "Russian dossier" they created which was intended to bring down President Trump. The "dossier" has become so discredited itself that even most far Left news people have given up quoting from it because it has become apparent it's fake.
And it has become public knowledge that Hillary Clinton, her presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee...and 1 Republican, was paying for the creation of the "dossier." By most accounts, Obama was at least informed, if not complicit with the little "project."
These folks would have known Fusion GPS quiet well because they are all lying together at the base of the tree.
Since I'm using the "tree" illustration, I won't use the one that "birds of a feather flock together," but they do.
These folks have all been lying together... or flocking together, for some time.
Remember when the pro-life group "Center for Medical Progress" secretly videotaped their series of conversations with Planned Parenthood executives---including a couple of doctors associated with PP?
The PP people openly discussed selling baby body parts---even the price for various parts because some baby body parts are more difficult to harvest than others.
The pro-life organization Operation Rescue documents that Planned Parenthood hired Fusion GPS back in 2015 to discredit the "Center for Medical Progress" group because they exposed the rank hypocrisy, and real objectives of Planned Parenthood---and it wasn't "women's health."
Fusion GPS delivered another fake but convincing "analysis"---this time of the pro-life group CMP---they would go after Trump later.
Fusion GPS commissioned Grant Fredericks to do the "analysis" ---the dirty work.
The videos were "analyzed" by Fredericks using unscientific methods. Fredricks was actually caught on the record fabricating his "expert" experience.
During the past few weeks, we have learned that Planned Parenthood paid for that project to discredit the pro-life group.
The news media, as you may recall, carried the story that the pro-life people were the bad guys, while the people selling baby body parts were the good guys.
Operation Rescue says, "Just like the 'Russian Dossier' the Fusion GPS video report bought by Planned Parenthood was full of lies, misinformation, and propaganda."
Rescue wrote last week, "All this has revealed that Planned Parenthood, the DNC, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Fusion GPS are all joined at the hip in a circle of brazen political corruption, where lying, money laundering, and profiting from mutilated corpses of dead babies can occur without conscience or consequence."
Sadly they are right.
I'm reminded of the words written by the Prophet Isaiah (5:20), "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter."
Planned Parenthood is evil, dark and bitter.
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Prayerful.
