ProChoicer says OK to Ripping Apart Fetuses

How did feminists come to be so heartless?  @ashleyrebeccah says it's ok to rip a fetuses head off, because the fetus isn't aware of it.
Her use of the word "they" indicates that she knows a fetus IS someone, a person.  And she condones promotes abortion anyway.

Abortion Advocates Still Hiding Behind 'Privacy' Laws

A Pro-Life WIN in the UK!  From BBC News:

The Department of Health has lost a court battle to keep secret some details on abortion statistics.

Be sure to watch the video embedded in the BBC article.  Josephine Quintavalle of ProLife Alliance says people want to know why.  The public, in the UK and the US, have a right to know why abortions are being performed.

The privacy argument is nothing new, it's what Roe v Wade in the United States was based on.

In an article in the Guardian, the author, Kate Smurthwaite,  argues that a woman's privacy will be put at risk by allowing late term abortion stats to be publicly released. 

In 2009, there were 136 abortions in the UK among women who had passed 24 weeks of pregnancy. Numbers are fairly consistent – around the 130 mark each year. The range of conditions involved is very wide, predominantly involving a variety of brain and cardiac abnormalities; most common foetal abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, are typically revealed earlier in pregnancy at the 12 or 20-week scan. As such, many conditions will be listed with only one or two cases a year, effectively providing one individual woman's medical record.

Kate admits that the majority of fetuses with Down Syndrome, are diagnosed before they would be considered 'late term'.  The fact is, 90% of Down Syndrome babies are aborted, most prior to late term status.  This is only a portion of what abortion advocates want to hide.  There are other cases of non-fatal fetal abnormalities such as cleft lip and palate.  In the UK, these are often recorded as 'social abortions', never revealing the true nature of the anomaly.

In the case of Down Syndrome related abortion in the UK, Mail Online reports:

The National Down's Syndrome Cytogenetic Register said that over the last four years fewer than half of abortions of Down's babies were recorded properly.

It is so important to track trends in Down Syndrome diagnoses, as well as other physical anomalies.  Abortion advocates are skewing the numbers, by hiding the data.  This needs to stop.  No one wants to know the name and address of the women that aborted, or the abortionist that performed the act.  But we deserve accurate data relating to abortions. 

Pro-choicer Says OK to Mothers Killing Their Unborn Babies

Twice in her pro-abort tweets (that I saw), @diane_welborn admits that a pregnant woman IS a mother.  Do these people have no shame?  Oh wait... this is pro-choice we're talking about.  They've been working on 'baby killing without shame' for 38 years. 
Now they are unashamed enough to say a mother is more important than her child.  Not where I came from!  A mother is supposed to protect her young from harm.  A good mother will sacrifice her own life, to save the life of her child. 
Of course that only applies to us that believe know that an unborn baby, at any developmental stage, is the same person he/she will be after they take their first breath.  The pro-aborts are still living in denial. 

 
Diane is a clear case of someone in denial.  With two children of her own, she denies they were alive before birth.

Debunking the 5 Myths About Planned Parenthood

Clare Coleman, a former chief executive for Planned Parenthood, wrote an Op-Ed, "Five myths about Planned Parenthood", in a recent issue of The Washington Post.  So neither you nor I get bored with the rhetoric, I'll cut to the highlights.

#1 Planned Parenthood’s federal funding frees up other money to pay for abortions.

In this section, Clare describes Title X funding in detail.  It's not necessary for this post that I repeat it verbatim.  This is about Planned Parenthood ABORTION, not Title X.  I recently wrote a short post on this subject.  The American people are not stupid.  Paying for only the procedure, does not cover the total cost of the abortion.  Americans pay for that with their hard earned tax dollars.

#2 Ninety percent of what Planned Parenthood does is provide abortions.

This related to the recent faux pas of Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ).. The pro-aborts have had a field day with this one.  But hey, they have to demonize someone, right?  Well not really, but they do it anyway.  As I said in this post, "The latter part of his statement should have read 'If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that’s well over 98 percent of what Planned Parenthood does for PREGNANT women.'  I have no doubt that was his intended statement."  The actual figure is a bit more than 96%, using the numbers from Planned Parenthood's Annual Report. 

#3 Defunding Planned Parenthood will reduce abortions

The target for this attack is Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), relating to sponsoring a bill to bar abortion providers from receiving Title X funding.  Yes, that is Planned Parenthood, among a few others.  If Planned Parethood were stripped of Title X funds today, they wouldn't last 3 months, if that.  They depend on Title X funds to keep their doors open, so they can get the big bucks performing abortions.  So yes, if they were defunded, a reduction of abortions would follow.

I found the following statement enlightening.  "Planned Parenthood centers offer contraception to nearly 2.5 million patients a year and serves 36 percent of all Title X patients."  And people wonder why Planned Parenthood screams about saving Title X funds?  Title X funds, lines the pockets of Planned Parenthood.

#4 Planned Parenthood serves only teenagers and prostitutes.

Intended target?  Glenn Beck!  It's not the first time he (or a lot of other talk tv/radio hosts) has made a stupid joke.. and yes it was a joke.  So I'll have to pass on this one, except for Clare's statement in this secton. "But when I worked for the organization, I would ask our supporters to picture this: You’re a 22-year-old woman with a job you don’t love, a toddler you’d die for and no health insurance. You live paycheck to paycheck, and you always know to the penny how much cash you’ve got until the end of the month. You’re rushing home on Route 9 to relieve your mom, who’s with the kid, and the engine light on the car comes on. You feel a wave of panic. You know you’re always one emergency away from everything falling apart. That’s our patient — I always have her in my mind."

Newsflash!  The above scenario could happen to a lot of people, a lot of people are 'only one emergency away from everything falling apart'.  The difference is, we don't depend on the government to bail us out. 

# 5 People don’t really need Planned Parenthood

While I do think there IS a need for a 'pay what you can afford clinic', that clinic is not Planned Parenthood.  Clare-"Planned Parenthood and the Title X-funded system are the only sexual health providers for hundreds of miles."  This is a flat out lie. What about the good old fashioned Ob/Gyn, or a public health clinic, to go to for all your reproductive needs, well except for abortion. 

This has never been about women's health.  It's about abortion.  Planned Parenthood sells sex, and reaps the financial benefits when birth control fails, and it will fail eventually.

Reading Between the Lines

In an article in the New York Times, Behind The Abortion War, Gail Collins reminds us of Senator Jon Kyl's misstatement that 90% of Planned Parenthoods services to women, are abortions.

“You don’t have to go to Planned Parenthood to get your cholesterol or your blood pressure checked. If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that’s well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does,” Kyl declared.

The latter part of his statement should have read 'If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that’s well over 98 percent of what Planned Parenthood does for PREGNANT women.'  I have no doubt that was his intended statement.

Gail goes on to say:

Planned Parenthood says that abortions, which are not paid for with federal money, constitute 3 percent of the services that the organization provides. That’s quite a gap. But only if you’re planning on going factual.

If you want to be factual Gail, then state the facts.  In 2008 (and probably 2009, 2010), Planned Parenthood served approximately 3 million women.  In the same year Planned Parenthood providers performed approximately 300,000 abortions.  Using simple mathematics, it's clear that at least 10% of women that go to PP, are there for abortions. 

Also, Gail states no abortions are paid with federal funds.  Maybe not directly, but a lot of the prep work, exams, pregnancy tests, etc., are paid for with federal funds.  There is no denying that federal funding, pays for at least part of the services leading up to the abortion procedure, and perhaps after-care also.

Pro abortion advocates need to stop lying and sugar-coating the truth.  Americans are not that stupid.

Women Will Lie About Being Raped to Secure an Abortion

From the latest Abortion Gang post:

Most of us have seen the video of Indiana State Rep. Eric Turner (R) expressing his “concerns” with the rape exception for HB 1210, which would make most abortions illegal after 20 weeks. He stated,

I just want you to think about this, in my view, giant loophole that could be created where someone who could — now I want to be careful, I don’t want to disparage in any way someone who has gone through the experience of a rape or incest — but someone who is desirous of an abortion could simply say that they’ve been raped or there’s incest.

This is the video linked above.  Listen to Rep. Turner, and then stay tuned for Rep. Linda Lawson (D).  Get the kleenex, she's a bit emotional.  "Women don't make this up!"

Would women lie about being raped to secure an abortion? The answer is a resounding YES.  Prolife knew this all along.  Now prochoicer 'Not Guilty', the author of the Abortion Gang post, freely admits that yes, women will lie to have an abortion.

Somehow you’ve gotten to 20 weeks and abortion is only legal in 2 circumstances: rape or incest. Now you have a few choices: 1) carry to term, 2) self-abort and risk your life, 3) say you were raped. Option 3 gets you what you need without risking your life. Damn right you are going to do whatever you need to do to get that abortion; damn right you will say you’ve been raped.

It's obvious women will lie to secure an abortion if they want one.  Because of that fact, we must make sure there is NO exception for rape or incest written into abortion legislation.

AMEX Hacked Tweet Gives This ProLifer Renewed Hope

Liberal pro-aborts will stop at nothing to promote abortion at Planned Parenthood.  My guess is, and yes we can all only guess, that an American Express (almost ex) employee created the tweet below.  The original tweet has of course been deleted, but someone did get a screen shot before it disappeared.

 

The re-tweets were immediate and plentiful. What I didn't see, was overwhelming support for Planned Parenthood, or for Amex for that matter. When other companies see the reaction their supposed support of Planned Parenthood got, maybe they will think twice about their support also.  One can only hope.

Amex denies being responsible for the tweet, which I will have to trust them on.

Some of the tweets are PRICELESS.. Pardon the pun.

The tweet below was re-tweeted more times than I would have cared to have to count.

I saw very little real support for Amex. On the other hand, the anger toward them, and Scarlett Johannson for that matter, was like a breath of fresh air.

 

The outrage gives renewed hope in the battle to save lives of the unborn.
