I don’t know if you caught this or not, but Pampers ran a beautiful commercial after Christmas last month featuring sleeping babies from around the world to the tune of “Silent Night” and the tagline: “peace on earth”

Apparently it’s an old commercial of theirs that has been re-run over the past few years, but I only just saw it recently. When I did I was really struck by what a stark contrast the ad was to Planned Parenthood’s distasteful (to say the very least) “Choice on Earth” Christmas campaign. Upon first hearing about the Planned Parenthood campaign a few years ago I noted how sadly ironic it was that the word they chose to replace with the word “Choice” is “Peace” since that is exactly what is destroyed by the choice of abortion which they promote and carry out (more than any other pregnancy related “service”). In fact, Mother Teresa called it the greatest destroyer of peace today because it is a “war against the child.”

Indeed. Abortion is the ultimate act of violence against the most vulnerable members of our species – murder by the mother herself. Peace is a sleeping baby, not a dead one.
