Free Download of My Speech “Planned Parenthood Unveiled”

Listen to the latest version of my presentation, “Planned Parenthood Unveiled: What They Don’t Want You to Know.” This was delivered at Free Grace Church in June, 2011.

Many people automatically associate Planned Parenthood with abortion. It’s appropriate; they are the nation’s leading abortion provider. However, there’s a lot more to Planned Parenthood than just abortions. After discussing many of these sordid details, I explain my controversial opinion that Planned Parenthood is NOT a racist organization, and respond to the counter-arguments often made about this subject.

PG-13 Warning: The details, particularly in the sections about Planned Parenthood’s teen website is not kid-friendly. For younger teens, parental discretion is advised.

  • I didn’t have time to show one of these during the presentation, but check out Live Action’s Rosa Acuna videos, showing Planned Parenthood staff lying about fetal development and pregnancy facts.

On conspiracy theories:

  • “Reasons to Believe” is a Christian apologetics website, and they had two great podcast episodes about conspiracy theories. These were helpful to me in preparing the “is Planned Parenthood racist” section, but I didn’t have time to get into this much detail on general problems with conspiracy theories. So if this subject interests you, you can learn more here:

BONUS: Want to hear more debate on the Planned Parenthood / racism subject? Download this Q&A session from a similar presentation given the year prior:
  1. I heard of an abortion clinic owner who is a racist and has said he wants to eliminate Hispanic babies.
  2. If focusing on racism saves more babies by hurting Planned Parenthood, shouldn’t we focus on racism?
  3. Walter Hoye says that 100 years from now there’s not going to be a black race.
  4. The Georgia “Endangered Species” billboards aren’t actually saying that Planned Parenthood is racist, are they?
  5. But some good will come from the billboards, right?
  6. But there was a lot of buzz about it…
  7. In the end, isn’t the goal to keep this stuff out there? And if some people have a different way of doing that, isn’t that good?
  8. We’re never going to be able to do anything perfectly, because as soon as it wouldn’t offend anybody, it wouldn’t help.
  9. How does Planned Parenthood get into schools, and what can I do about it?
  10. But a non-Planned Parenthood presenter would probably be teaching the same information, so is that any better?
  11. If there’s more than one abortion facility in town, and one of them is Planned Parenthood, should we focus on Planned Parenthood?
  12. Do you have a training for sidewalk counseling?

President

Josh Brahm is the President of Equal Rights Institute, an organization that trains pro-life advocates to think clearly, reason honestly and argue persuasively.

Josh has worked in the pro-life movement since he was 18. A sought-after speaker, Josh has spoken for more than 23,000 people in six countries and in 22 of the 50 states.

Josh’s primary passion is helping pro-life people to be more persuasive when they communicate with pro-choice people. That means ditching faulty rhetoric and tactics and embracing arguments that hold up under philosophical scrutiny.

He has publicly debated leaders from Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), Georgians for Choice, and one of the leading abortion facilities in Atlanta.

Josh also wants to bring relational apologetics to the pro-life movement. “Some pro-choice people will not change their mind after one conversation on a college campus. Some of them will only change their mind after dozens of conversations with a person they trust in the context of friendship.”

Josh is formerly the host of a globally-heard podcast turned radio/TV show, Life Report. He now hosts the Equipped for Life Podcast. He’s also written dozens of articles for LifeNews.com and the ERI blog.

He directed the first 40 Days for Life campaign in Fresno, resulting in up to 60 lives saved.

Josh has been happily married to his wife, Hannah, for 15 years. They have three sons, Noah, William, and Eli. They live in Charlotte, North Carolina.

David Bereit, the National Director of 40 Days for Life, sums up Josh’s expertise this way: “Josh Brahm is one of the brightest, most articulate, and innovative people in the pro-life movement. His cutting-edge work is helping people think more clearly, communicate more effectively, and — most importantly — be better ambassadors for Christ. I wholeheartedly endorse Josh’s work, and I encourage you to join me in following Josh and getting involved in his work today!”
