If Planned Parenthood has a BFF, it\u2019s NARAL. A writing contest from NARAL is a writing contest to promote abortion. \u00a0From the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.choiceoutloud.org\/writing-contest\/#.UhVVWn-wUSg\">Choice Out Loud page<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you\u2019re between the ages of 18 and 30, we hope you\u2019ll consider entering the Choice Out Loud Short Story Contest.\u00a0 Not only is this a great way to share a pro-choice story, your submission will be reviewed by our amazing judges and you could win one of our great cash prizes!<\/p>\n<p>It can be fiction, non-fiction or somewhere in between \u2013 how the story is told is up to you. \u00a0Choice is a critical thread that connects so much of our lives. We encourage you to think about the diverse reality of life in America, the circumstances that lead to an unintended pregnancy, the different choices women and men make when faced with this situation, and how a person\u2019s decision may influence their future.<\/p>\n<p>You should feel free to use inspirations from your own life or community. Write from the heart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If your pro-abortion heartfelt writing wins, there\u2019s prize money\u2014enough to pay for a few more abortions. And those \u201camazing\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.choiceoutloud.org\/writing-contest\/judges.html#.UhVVuH-wUSg\">judges<\/a>? Some young voices promoting the right to kill babies.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most ironic about the inbred contest is the rule list, which includes this phrase:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0\u201cSubmission must not promote racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm or harassment of any kind against any group or individual.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently physical harm to the unborn is excluded or the contest itself could not exist, for no abortion ever takes place without the promotion of physical harm.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the contest notes that, \u201cSubmission must be suitable for publication (i.e., may not be sexually explicit, obscene or indecent).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The idea that ripping a baby from the womb isn&#8217;t obscene or indecent is a stunning portrayal of the way we have turned the pages of human history, calling evil good\u2014and even awarding prize money and accolades for fictionalizing it.<\/p>\n<p>The NARAL contest is simply an inbred abortion propaganda device that actually violates its own rules by promoting physical harm, obscene acts and indecent behavior\u2014in the name of the glory of personal choice.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that even those who would support abortion would not want to publicly celebrate the act of death. The abortion industry, however, isn&#8217;t about anything but death. Their feeble attempt at promoting abortion literature once again shows their single-minded focus toward keeping the instant death recipe alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once upon a time abortion was a secret, an act that didn\u2019t promote glory or pride; few celebrated killing a baby even when they thought somehow it was the right choice But as the pages of history turn we see abortion glorified as a subject of personal victory.
