Worst Christmas Gift

Even I'm amazed at this one.

THE WORST CHRISTMAS GIFT IN THE WORLD
Michael Medved
December 2, 2008

Planned Parenthood, one of the nation’s most strident supporters of abortion on demand, is offering a novel Christmas present for its supporters this year: gift certificates for “reproductive services” – including abortion. The Indiana branch of the national organization suggests that families should buy generous credits to cover contraception of every kind, including abortion, and then present these certificates under the tree to grateful daughters, sisters or even wives. Can you imagine the reaction of a family member who holds a brand new abortion certificate, and chortles: “I’ve always wanted one of these!”

It’s ironic that Planned Parenthood wants to associate these services with a sacred holiday that focuses on a miraculous birth—not a termination of pregnancy. The secular left remains hopelessly out of touch with the American people and their most cherished traditions.

I guess it would be fair to say the above does kind of beat Christmas fruitcake or Christmas sweaters. Only by a bit though . . .

Obviously, you've never had Claxton Fruitcake from Claxton, Georgia.

From my days living in the Dallas area, I recall that there was a fruitcake from "Wacko," Texas that wasn't half bad.
