Reporters are still contacting Kansans for Life to ask what we think is the real reason the Aid for Women clinic closed abruptly last Saturday.
Our executive director, Mary Kay Culp, responded
“It’s hard to know for sure why the clinic closed, but if it’s as we suspect– that women are better informed and more protected from clinic exploitation due to new state laws–clinic owners and operators would be the last to admit it.”
Culp is referencing the state of Kansas-provided “Woman’s Right to Know” information.
Aid for Women so hated having to post the statement
“The abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being”
on their website’s consent form, that they added this ‘commentary’:
This [statement] is untruthful because the fetus is quite dependent upon, not separate from, the maternal placental oxygen and nutrient acquisition and kidney’s waste disposal. The word “whole” implies “complete” but the fetus is not truly completed until birth. Also, cancer is unique, human and living, yet not deserving of life.
In response to such abortion clinic “factoids,” the state of Kansas enacted a law, effective July 2013 (tweaked slightly in May 2014), that requires each Kansas abortion business to post this on its homepage:
“The Kansas Department of Health and Environment maintains a website containing information about the development of the unborn child, as well as video of sonogram images of the unborn child at various stages of development, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment`s website can be reached by clicking here [www.womansrighttoknow.org].”
Isn’t it instructive that not just the abortion clinic but other abortion proponents are reduced to hysterically bad-mouthing scientifically accurate information? When women go to an abortion clinic’s website, they should be able to see the truth about their unborn baby before they commit to further action. It is a fair inference, is it not, that equipped with accurate information, fewer women would chose abortion?
On Monday’s show, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow recycled some of Aid for Women’s criticism. For example, Maddow said
“[T]he state of Kansas newly requires all abortion clinics to post this about the state’s official ‘talk you out of an abortion’ website…. And the clinic has made clear as day in context that they think that is hooey… that you shouldn’t believe, but they made us put it out.”
To emphasize the “burden” on the abortion clinic of having to provide an informational link, Maddow shows how Aid for Women added an ‘introduction’ to the mandated link on their homepage (archived here):
“We’re being forced by Republicans to use our website resources to say untruthful things about the state’s pro-life website in hopes you will visit their website and change your mind away from having an abortion. We must have this signage or go to jail. Republicans also don’t believe that rape causes pregnancy, nor that there can ever be too many children. They are stupid. Let’s vote them out of office. However, here goes.”
Maddow is obviously highly sympathetic to the Aid for Women business, quoting the clinic manager as revealing that they had struggled for eight years to find a replacement for the aging abortionist.
In addition, Maddow voices the clinic manager’s complaint of “ingratitude.” Maddow said,
“He told us, ‘We cannot seem to get some of these Gen Xers to take it seriously and vote. Why am I the only one fighting this?…The generation of patients whom we have helped need to step up and carry the torch instead of assuming clinic workers will always fight their battle.’ ”
So what do we learn from Maddow? That the poor abortion clinics are burdened by providing informational weblinks to pregnant women, when the unborn child is just like cancer, right?
Now that is hooey.

That's what Big Murder believes, that babies are CANCER and NOT DESERVING OF LIFE.

Where does one begin?
The logic is painful.
I’ve been told that the truth hurts. But it’s ok with me if it hurts the abortion “business.”
Babies aren’t comparable to cancer. Cancer destroys. Babies are enriching and a blessing to mankind.
What a bunch of bull$#!t!!!
A two year old is completely dependent on its parents for survival. Simply being able to breath on your own is not criteria for determining when life begins.
That is a human being which is scientifically a living organism and age should NOT be the determining factor in whether it lives of dies.
Nor are they the ones to determine when that *completion* is attained. They are delving into matters light years above their pay grade.
However, an abortion clinic closing is GREAT news.
WHOO HOO!!!!!
What a bunch of bull$#!t!!!
Cancer is not a genetically separate and unique human being.

Does the unborn baby have unique DNA from the mother?
Does a cancerous tumor have unique DNA from the patient?
I thought liberals were all about science. Not just science but SCIENCE!!! Funny how science gets chucked out the window when it becomes inconvenient.
You just can’t make this stiff up. These people are just sick.
Life ends after the murder. A egg and sperm each have to be alive, yes?
>>So what do we learn from Maddow?<<
We learn that many women want the right to kill their babies.
Bump!
I learned this years ago when I was doing a lot of debates with abortion entrepreneurs. I’d arrive lugging all my scientific facts, pictures, diagrams, factual documentary and testimentary evidence, and they’re arrive with nothing but “That’s what you believe. We have what we believe. Everybody has a right to choose.”
good news, another one for your list.
