In a scene seemingly straight from the Hunger Games, celebrities showed up Wednesday to Planned Parenthood of Greater New York’s spring gala, wearing what would once have been called their “Sunday best” to celebrate an organization dedicated to killing babies. 

Only in the Hunger Games would the rich rejoice in the death of children by throwing a party — or at least, that’s what one would think. 

A wrap-up article in Vogue described the gala, sparing no words to paint the picture of a “Beaux-Arts-style staircase,” the auctioneer’s “fabulous chartreuse ensemble,” and the lemon meringue.  

What Vogue didn’t mention? That when all the lemon meringue has been eaten and the finery put away, Planned Parenthood returns to its everyday task of perpetrating the grotesque, gruesome mutilation of preborn babies. 

The annual “Spring Into Action” gala honored Alecia Beth Moore-Hart, better known as Pink, for her “outspoken support of reproductive rights for all.” Pink, known for handing out Planned Parenthood pamphlets at her concerts, romanticized her time at the nation’s largest abortion vendor, saying, “I was the teenager who would go to Planned Parenthood. It was the place in our town that cared.” 

Other celebrities echoed her sentiment, describing Planned Parenthood’s work to ensure “hormone replacement therapy, transitional care, and medical care in general.” 

Obviously, there’s nothing more likely to motivate people to “spring into action” than an airbrushed woman in a satin gown using euphemistic terms like “transitional care” to describe feeding chemical castration drugs to children, sometimes after just 30-minute long appointments — or than that same person looking back fondly on their time just a hallway away from babies being killed. “We are all here to ensure that your freedom is free,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood’s CEO.  

What he should have said? “We’re all here to make sure everyday American taxpayers pay for you to kill your baby.” But that, more than anything else, seems to have been the theme of the night — cloaking ugliness and evil in gowns of satin and silk.
