My blood boiled when I first saw Planned Parenthood's "Choice on Earth" seasonal greeting cards for sale a few years back.
I found the play on the words "Peace on Earth," words sacred to those of us celebrating Christmas, to be irreverent and insulting coming from PPFA which performs most abortions in the U.S.A.
While I still find the "Choice on Earth" concept offensive, a peek at this year's batch of Planned Parenthood's "holiday cards," here, did not raise my blood pressure.
For the six different designs offered by PPFA are -- much like abortion -- uninspiring, joyless and empty.
Unlike the Divine birth which brings hope, there's a great hopelessness in touting a "Choice on Earth" that makes the denial of a birthright to the world's babies an option.
No wonder PPFA's "holiday cards" seem so hollow.
