Feminists like to say theyre fighting for womens right to choose. The abortion lobby says they just want women to have all of the options, to make the choice of whatever is best for them.
Dont believe it.
What they actually want is for women to have abortions. They dont want women to see ultrasounds because then, they might choose to keep their baby. They dont want women to know that adoption is an option for them, too. Women are misled to believe that abortion is their only choice, that they have no way out. When a scared, confused, and desperate woman walk into a Planned Parenthood, she often gets an abortion because she feels like she has no other choice. The so-called counselors there prey on this mentality. They dont show women that there are other options besides just abortion.
See for yourself: over at Live Action, the 2007 Planned Parenthood Annual Report was exposed, and the numbers are gruesome. In the year 2007, Planned Parenthood made only 4,912 adoption referrals yet performed 305,310 abortions.
Should those numbers really be so lopsided? No, but Live Actions newest undercover project, the Rosa Acuna Project, shows why these numbers are so lopsided. The counselors at Planned Parenthood arent there to help women make the best choice for themselves. They arent there to tell women that abortion isnt the only choice they have. They are salespeople, plain and simple, and the product that they are selling is abortion.
Now, if abortion is legal, then for the time being women should be advised that abortion is an option for them. But why do these clinics never tell women about other choices they could make? Why is it that pro-choicers never seem very thrilled about the idea of a woman choosing to have her baby? When someone walks into a Planned Parenthood clinic, all of the options should be explained to her. There are ways to get help if you choose to keep your baby. If you dont want an abortion, we can do an adoption referral for you. If you feel like you have no options, let us tell you that you do have a choice.
How is making women feel like abortion is the only option they have advocating choice?
Thread by me.
To the casual observer, they must have seemed like all the other families dining in the elegant riverside restaurant in Zurich that night.
Laughing and joking, a strikingly attractive woman was evidently revelling in the company of her sister, mother and father as they ate risotto and shared a bottle of wine.
Throughout that cool, clear August evening in 2006, the family enjoyed animated conversation before sharing a late-night gin and tonic. So far so ordinary, except for one extraordinary detail: they all knew this would be their last meal together.
Poignant farewell: John Huff, his wife Barbara and daughters Dianne, far left, and Joanne share a last supper the night before he killed himself at the Dignitas clinic
The man at the head of the table, John Huff, was to die the next day - having booked himself into the infamous Dignitas assisted suicide clinic in the city.
