Planned Parenthood entices girls with iPods

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (BP)–At least one of Planned Parenthood’s affiliates is using a common marketing tool to generate new business – free stuff.

Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, a part of the country’s largest chain of abortion providers, is offering a chance to win an iPod, the popular, pocket-sized music and video player, to women who come in for appointments at any of their eight clinics in the San Francisco area.

Even women who just recommend that their friends go to a Planned Parenthood Golden Gate clinic can become winners – of movie tickets, in this case. If the person who is referred by a friend keeps her appointment, the friend will win two free tickets to a United Artists theater.

Young women appear to be the targets of Planned Parenthood’s bid to recruit new customers, and that disturbs a watchdog group that monitors corporations that fund Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

“Just how low and disgusting can Planned Parenthood get?” Douglas Scott, president of Life Decisions International, said in a written release. “Just like any other business, Planned Parenthood utilizes programs designed to bring in more customers. Unlike any other business, Planned Parenthood has an agenda. Once a young person enters a Planned Parenthood facility, the group can preach its doctrine of death without the interference of parents or other family members.”
