Planned Parenthood to Lay Off 100 HQ Staffers After First Anniversary of Dobbs

Come Friday, July 7, there will be 100 fewer staffers at Planned Parenthood’s headquarters in Manhattan and Washington, D.C. It’s all thanks to the Supreme Court’s decision on June 24, 2022 to reverse Roe v. Wade (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization).

Following the landmark decision that overturned Roe and returned the issue of life and death back to the states, where it properly belongs, dozens of states passed laws protecting the unborn. Similar existing but dormant laws in other states became active immediately after Dobbs. It is estimated that 60,000 lives have been saved so far, and that more than 200,000 lives will be saved annually thanks to that decision.

Planned Parenthood (PP) put the best face possible on the inevitable. Back in May, Alexis McGill Johnson, head of the national abortuary that kills more than 350,000 babies every year — and has murdered more than eight million since 1970 — announced the staff reduction and said it is necessary to “meet the needs” in the new life-affirming culture:

Beginning this summer, Planned Parenthood … will deploy our financial resources to better meet the needs of Planned Parenthood patients and communities today, tomorrow, and into the future….

There will be a reduction in the national office workforce. We believe this strategic decision is essential to meet the current moment….

PPFA [Planned Parenthood Federation of America] … will prioritize what the national office must do, and cut programs that we will not do.

That shift in strategy and resource prioritization requires a reduction in our current workforce.

She grieved over the need to cut back:

We don’t take this moment lightly. The shifting landscape requires very difficult decisions about the way forward, meaning that some of our fiercest, most incredible staff won’t continue on this journey with us.

But the war against the unborn must continue, she said, as she reiterated the lie that built Planned Parenthood from its earliest days — “Our Bodies, Our Selves”:

Planned Parenthood is going to meet this moment boldly, proudly, unapologetically. We have the opportunity and the obligation to put forward a new vision that better serves Planned Parenthood patients and empowers [them] to control their own bodies and lives.

This is the lie that Margaret Sanger used a hundred years ago to begin building the largest murder industry in the country.

The Boston Globe decried the necessity to reduce staff at PP, but celebrated the outfit’s move to launch a new initiative targeting black mothers-to-be: the Black Health Equity Initiative. It’s designed, according to PP, “to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities, particularly for Black patients, starting with states in the South and Midwest.”

This echoes the eugenicist background of the murderous outfit, starting with its founder. Sanger and her first husband, Michael Higgins, were socialists in New York City in the early 1900s, with Margaret joining the New York Socialist Party and taking part in labor unrest sponsored by the Industrial Workers of the World.

In a remarkably candid letter to a doctor involved in her early efforts to target black families, Sanger wrote: “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population….”

Even the editors at Wikipedia had to admit Sanger’s agenda:

After World War I, Sanger increasingly posited a societal need to limit births by those least able to afford children. The affluent and educated already limited their child-bearing, while the poor and uneducated lacked access to contraception and information about birth control.

Here she found an area of overlap with eugenicists. She believed that they both sought to “assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit.”

At present, Planned Parenthood operates more than 600 “clinics” around the country, using some $633 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars every year to fund the holocaust. However, PP is now operating one fewer — it quietly closed its clinic in Logan, Utah, in March.

It is just one more casualty in the war against life from conception that is currently going badly for its primary proponent, Planned Parenthood.
