There’s something inherently ironic about a company named MOM\u2019s which donates money to an abortion provider. But that’s just what MOM\u2019s Organic Market has decided to do. On Wednesday it posted this status on Facebook:<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n


\nThe company’s\u00a0comment underneath the status tried to play it down as being respectful of pro-life views, but feeling like it needed to take a stand in light of what it called and “unfair and misinformed” attack of Planned Parenthood:<\/p>\n

\n

We usually don’t take public stands on political issues – our focus is to protect and restore the environment. We are not challenging the pro-life point of view, but in this unfortunate era of intense partisanship, we choose to defend against an unfair and misinformed attack of PP.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

MOM\u2019s is correct that there is something misleading in the featured image they post from C-SPAN, but it\u2019s not because of an attack against Planned Parenthood but from C-SPAN’s reporting, which MOM’s would have known if it bothered to check its sources. The preview image has a tagline: \u201cRep. [Jason] Chaffetz: \u2018I pulled those numbers directly out of your corporate reports.\u2019 (Slide says \u2018Source: Americans United for Life\u2019)\u201d However, the numbers that Americans United for life retrieved did<\/em> come directly from the Planned Parenthood annual report<\/a>. Those numbers are available to anyone, including Cecile Richards to deny that she even knew what they were. Chaffetz, who was obviously educated on Planned Parenthood based on his comments in the hearings, would have seen the report. It is not misleading to say he got the numbers from Planned Parenthood’s own annual report simply because he showed a slide that created a visual of that data. The sources were the same. MOM’s didn’t check either of them.<\/p>\n

\"ScreenMOM\u2019s, however, did take up the offense, and went from organic food to abortion. It\u2019s a move MOM\u2019s openly admits is political. What organic food has to do with abortion rights is yet to be seen, but MOM\u2019s is a company that says its purpose is to \u201cprotect and restore the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one way of looking at it, since many believe there is a purpose in aborted fetuses such as using the incinerated remains of dead babies to heat hospitals or generate energy<\/a>. Kill a baby; support the environment! Maybe that\u2019s MOM\u2019s reasoning. \u00a0LiveScience reports:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

And because many states and cities now use waste as an eco-friendly source of energy, medical waste (including body parts and fetal remains) is combined with household garbage and other types of waste to create heat or electricity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is the only conceivable tie to a company whose mission is the environmentally based to get itself involved in abortion advocacy; however, that would be just as despicable a motive to pro-lifers, whose business they are rapidly losing.<\/p>\n

MOM\u2019s is located in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., but despite its limited locale, the comments were furiously rolling in, with many customers saying they were done shopping at MOM\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\"Screen \"Screen<\/p>\n

Furthering the irony of a place called MOM\u2019s supporting abortion is the fact that if they had not taken a political stance which had nothing to do with organic food, abortion supporters would still shop there. They weren\u2019t backed into a corner; they chose to abort their customers in their support for abortion. MOM\u2019s has the right, but it also will likely see a loss in revenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
