Feminists like to say they’re fighting for women’s 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.
Don’t believe it.
What they actually want is for women to have abortions. They don’t want women to see ultrasounds because then, they might choose to keep their baby. They don’t 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 don’t 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 Action’s newest undercover project, the Rosa Acuna Project, shows why these numbers are so lopsided. The “counselors” at Planned Parenthood aren’t there to help women make the best choice for themselves. They aren’t there to tell women that abortion isn’t 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 don’t 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?
What sad statistics.
Pray for an end to abortion in the entire world.
Happy Birthday. And what a beautiful gesture on your part.

You are right! Abortion is not women’s health care! It’s just the beginning of the death camps....
So glad you were born and that your mom kept you. I am also grateful for what you do on FR. This was powerful testimony.
And Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!
My mother turned 16 the month before I was born. We must be kindred souls :-)
If there ever was a good excuse for an abortion .. I guess you could say that I would have been it!
It was much more difficult back then. Had we been conceived in today's society .. well, who knows if we would be having this discussion.
Thank your mother for choosing life! Surprise her with a bouquet of flowers and a card that lets her know how grateful you are. Thank you for posting your story.
Thank you so much! What a nice surprise :-)
Thank you for sharing your relative’s experience! It is comforting to know that Planned Parenthood in Tulsa actually provides pregnancy assistance and medical care. Perhaps they’ve understood that public sentiment is changing to pro-life and have implemented a new policy. Failing that, they may soon find themselves out of work.
President Barack Obama, brought to you by Planned Parenthood.
A belated Happy Birthday and thanks for all you do keeping us informed.
“Life. What a beautiful choice!”
