“DEATH BY GIFT CERTIFICATE”

December 12, 2008 By Pastor David Stone

If you think the world hasn’t gone crazy just read this, from Dr. Albert Mohler:

Gift certificates are now a big part of the American economy. Along with electronic gift cards, gift certificates represent a growing segment of the consumer market — and for good reason. Who wouldn’t welcome and appreciate a gift certificate to a favorite store or service provider?

 

Well, what if the product is abortion? Planned Parenthood of Indiana is now selling gift certificates redeemable “for services or the recipient’s choice of birth control method.” Those “methods” include abortion.

 

As The Washington Times reports:

 

“Indiana residents in need of a quick stocking stuffer this holiday season have an unusual option: Planned Parenthood gift certificates.

 

“The group’s Hoosier State chapter on Wednesday began selling gift certificates redeemable at any of its 35 facilities for any service provided — from basic health screenings to birth control to abortions.”–end of quote.
Since 1973 more than 48 million babies have been murdered in America and if some get their way things will get even worse. So, who is guilty of these terrible crimes? The mothers, the doctors, and the legislators all share part of the guilt—but so do those who empower them to do so. Every person who votes for a leader who supports abortion is just as guilty as the woman who submits to it. Don’t boast about how much you love God when you aid those who murder innocent babies. You are just as guilty as a person who gives someone a “Gift Certificate for Death”. THINK ABOUT IT!
Mohler then concludes with these words:”The gift certificates from Planned Parenthood represent a brazen and ill-disguised effort to package abortion as a gift. When the state’s health commissioner calls these certificates as “really a meaningful gift,” she adds her influence to the effort.

 

So this Christmas shopping season comes with something new — an offer of death by gift certificate.”
