For that person on your list who has everything, Planned Parenthood is offering — ahem — gift certificates.
For the first time, Planned Parenthood of Indiana is selling gift certificates, Indianapolis' WISH-TV reported. The certificates come in $25 increments and can be used for birth control, breast exams — and abortions.
Curt Smith, president of the Indiana Family Institute, said he was appalled by the idea.
"If somebody wants to help a woman at a time of crisis, they can support the life centers throughout Indiana," he told the TV station.
Sister Diane Carollo, director of the Office for Pro-Life Ministry for the Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis, called the gift certificates a "horrendous" idea.
"The fact that they would be offering gift certificates that could even pay for the destruction of innocent human life is blasphemous," she told Family News in Focus.
Sister Carollo agreed with Smith that a better Christmas gift would be a donation to a pregnancy resource center.
"That’s the gift that keeps giving," she said.
