Letter: Why doesn't PPTAP join protesters in prayer?

Posted: Sunday, October 14, 2007

Recent letters have condemned Planned Parenthood for its participation in the abortion of unborn babies. The defenders of Planned Parenthood have emphatically stated that the Planned Parenthood organization in the Texas Panhandle does not provide abortion services.

I assume that Planned Parenthood of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle is opposed to abortion. Why, then, are Planned Parenthood officials fearful of those who pray for an end to abortion?

If an organization denies any ties to abortion, that organization should welcome all who would oppose abortion. If that is the case, Planned Parenthood personnel should join the people praying outside their gates asking God to end the terrible practice of abortion.

If PPATP has such a commitment, why aren't CEO Claudia Stravato and her associates leading the effort against abortion?

The health of women and their babies should be the goal of both sides of this argument, shouldn't it?
