It is not enough that people want to cut down funding for Planned Parenthood and stop their operations, since the real battle America is faced with is against sin and abortion, according to 59-year-old presidential aspirant Mike Huckabee.
In an opinion piece he wrote for Fox News, Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, wondered how the United States can claim to be a superior nation that does not commit genocide when it allows the business of infanticide to flourish.
"Destroying innocent life and harvesting human organs is beyond barbaric—it is unimaginably immoral, grotesque, and evil," he said. "Only evil could treat the organs of innocent babies as if they were fan belts, fenders, or fuel lines for a Ford –to be swapped, sold, discarded and disposed at the whims of a mechanic."
He noted that Planned Parenthood performs over 300,000 abortions each year, and that 92 percent of women who walk into their clinics end up receiving an abortion. Since they started in 1973, Planned Parenthood has already aborted over 60 million babies. Huckabee said the body parts of these innocent babies have already been harvested to the highest bidder.
Calling Planned Parenthood as a healthcare provider is a farce, he said, and Americans should be enraged that the government has been using money from their pay checks to fund the abortion clinic's services.
It's not enough for people to say that they will end Planned Parenthood by cutting down their funds, said Huckabee, since they should work on abolishing abortion for good.
"In the face of human harvesting, it's unacceptably un-American and immoral to bury our heads and hope this evil will disappear. It's time for us to decide whether we accept, approve and endorse the willful destruction of human life," he said.
People might argue that infants in the womb are mere "blobs of animated protoplasm" and not real babies, but he said this is simply what science is saying and not what the Bible says.
"As we digest the disgusting footage of these cavalier conversations about harvesting human organs, we must remember that this battle is about more than just defunding Planned Parenthood," he said. "We must end the scourge, sin, and slaughter of abortion. And then we should ask God's forgiveness for not doing it sooner."
