More than half a million pro­life people took to the streets of Washington D.C. to

solemnly mark 42 years of legalized abortion since the infamous Roe v. Wade decision. But

one top abortion activist celebrated the occasion. While Planned Parenthood normally likes to

play down its abortion business, abortion is the sine qua non component of what Planned Parenthood does.

In fact, Planned Parenthood has killed more than 1 million babies in abortions in the last three years.

That’s why its president’s admission that the abortion business is “proud” to do abortions is newsworthy.

As CNS News reports, “at an invitation­only press conference on Tuesday at the National Press Club, Planned Parenthood

President Cecile Richards told hand­picked reporters that her organization takes pride in the millions of abortions done at its affiliated

clinics around the United States” As it reports, Richards said: “We proudly provide safe and legal abortion.”
