i had to write an article about recently released abortion statistics. went to planned
parenthood for the first time and WOW - i was out of breath when i got
back to my car. there were no dogs chasing me. it is just that heavy of
an atmosphere inside. and i'm not exaggerating when i say that everyone
in the waiting room stared at me when i went in.
their
public relations team is so elusive. their comments (when i finally
reached them) were vague and practically worthless for a decent article.
"that's such a small statistical change it's not even worth speculating
why abortions rose in that county ..." and literally the same answer to
explain the 65% rate of complications on abortions in PA. i don't know,
i think thousands of dead babies is significant whether it's a "small
percentage" to you or not.
if you're not sure where you stand about abortion, or find my comments abrasive or uneducated, please check out this excellent post by john piper titled "we know they are killing children - all of us know."
oh and what about the disproportionate number of african-american women
receiving abortions? care to comment about that? or about the reason
margaret sanger founded planned parenthood in the first place? and why
they were (and are) strategically located in certain areas?
the
whole "thing" saddens me. the way so many people in our country are
being conditioned to think that abortion is okay. the way people give up on thinking it is wrong and fighting for it to end. the
language created to distort what abortion actually IS in people's minds.
it is heartbreaking. my editor kept correcting me whenever i said "pro-life" he would say
"anti-abortion." uh, no. please stop trying to trick your mind. why do you get to decide the language used to discuss this? the
opposite of abortion is LIFE. the opposite of LIFE is death.
