Would it surprise you to learn that the nation’s largest abortion provider decided to celebrate Mother’s Day with a fundraising pitch?

“Being a mother is incredibly difficult, even in the very best of circumstances,” wrote Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, in an appeal that went out on a mournful note before the holiday. Bizarrely, the fundraising e-mail implied that third world suffering would increase if the forced participation of the American taxpayer in subsidizing the abortion industry did not continue.

Just remarkable: ordinary Americans paused Sunday to celebrate the joys of motherhood, while the CEO of the world’s largest abortion provider made her tone-deaf pitch to “Please help with your Mother’s Day contribution.” Her emphasis on the difficulties inherent to motherhood highlighted her inability to see that those costs provide the opportunity of becoming more in motherhood than any woman can fully know as she anticipates the birth of her unique child.

Strangely, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi also sent out a Mother’s Day fundraising e-mail, seeking funds to attack Republicans who cared enough about life to vote against the abortion lobby, which works to gather more than $360 million in tax dollars annually.

In an appeal titled, “the Republican War on Women,” Pelosi wrote: “Your actions today can make a difference for many of the women in your life — whether it is for a friend, your sister, your wife, your daughter, or yourself.”

“Fundraising with a Mother’s Day appeal on behalf of efforts that would prevent women from knowing the joys of motherhood seems surreal,” said Americans United for Life President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest, a mother of five. “Mothers joyfully invest the price they pay to build their children’s lives. As mothers we treasure the laughter and endure the sorrow that is an intrinsic part of a whole life. When they are considering whether to embrace the birth of a child, women deserve to be encouraged that they can find themselves strong and able to overcome any obstacles. Motherhood is worth it.” – Americans United for Life

Celebrate motherhood by funding infanticide? Clueless and classless. But what would you expect from utterly vulgar people?

SUPPORT & DEFEND
From her previous grandeur delusion,
Nancy’s entered a state of confusion;
She’s completely perplexed
As she hears a strange text:
The Republican-read Constitution.

From the archive:

PLEDGE
“I’ll oppose social revolution
And income redistribution,
I will take an ax
To the federal tax
And adhere to our Constitution.”
(2010)

CAPITOL CRIME
They deserve electrocution
Whose contempt for the Constitution
Allows them to fork
Over helpings of pork
In return for a contribution.
(2003)

The History Chant

Last week’s verse:

THAT’S A WRAP!
There were high points to Two-Thousand-Ten,
Forming memories recalled with a grin:
Yes, I had me some fun,
But I’m glad that it’s done –
And I wouldn’t go through it again.

“Secret” and “corrupt” are the two words that best describe the process by which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid produced his trillion-dollar government takeover of our health care system. – Newt Gingrich

NANCYLVANIA
With the change in the House status quo, see
The new Madame Speaker Pelosi
Enduring the glare
With the crazed, glassy stare
Of a transgendered Bela Lugosi.
(F.R. Duplantier, 2007)

Sorry, dear, but you’ve got to go. You’re an incompetent lying bitch and everyone knows it now.

I’ll say this in my defense:
I’m a psychopathic
Roman Catholic
Whose faith is mere pretense.”
