Nothing says Happy Mother’s Day like a gift in honor of your mother to an organization that makes sure a woman doesn’t become a mother.
In honor of dear mothers everywhere, author Judy Blume, whose books I read as an adolescent, lends her hefty name to the abortion mill Planned Parenthood to solicit donations. As a writer, Blume certainly understands irony. Hello?
After a flood of “hate” mail to Blume, PP’s begging other pro-deathers to back up the author. President Cecile Richards said, “We rarely respond to these outrageous attacks, but when it comes to Judy Blume … well, I can’t stand by and do nothing. Please, let her know how much we appreciate her courage.”
It is outrageous, says the killer of the unborn, for “anti-choice extremists” to express their displeasure not only about the slaughter of babies but to also criticize a very important person like Blume, who’s using her name toward the cause of baby murder.
My mother told me her grandmother told a story about a woman who’d had several abortions during her childbearing years. On her deathbed, the woman said she could hear her babies crying. Delirium? Probably. But still.
By the way, thanks again for the many birthday wishes and other kind words.
