Since I went back in there, with flowers for the doctor, I (being a Catholic and a curious one) looked over the “options” for someone finding themselves with child at an inopportune time. It’s not a facdtory to kill babies - in fact they are so many steps to go through (counseling, videos, presentations on the life stage your fetus is currently at, etc) and you cannot go in without having gone through all of the steps and it takes several days of said counseling and meetings and processing to get a girl to a point of making her own best decision. They also present equal amounts of info on adoption, WIC, childcare help to keep girls in school, etc.
The truth is that the abortions performed there make up such a very small percentage of what they do. They detect cancer in mostly underprivileged women and get them the care they need to beat their disease, live to be the mothers they want to be and support them kindly through the process.
The image you present is, not suprisingly, the one I grew up with. It just, sadly, is very inaccurate.
Apparently, I did not use the QUOTE feature correctly this time; the above is the quote, the below is my response.
Of course they provide other services, they couldn’t get all the funding they get if they were strictly an abortion mill. But an abortion mill they still are. Because I, and many others, believe if they provide one abortion it is too many. And the FACT is that the #1 thing they do is provide abortions!!! I think the fact that they provide all these “steps” you talk about, and then still ultimately provide the killing service makes it even more reprehensible! A woman, even an underprivileged one (like myself), can find all those services, mammos, PAP’s, WIC info, Soc Svc info (i.e; food stamps, child care vouchers, etc.) from places that do not also kill babies. Local health depts, Catholic Charities, County Social Service Depts, all are resources for these services.
