Crisis Pregnancy Clinics

Today I got an email from a group that I often get emails from to sign petitions to save wolves in Yellowstone or some other enviromental call to action. Today I got an email from them to sign a petition to limit funding for Crisis Pregnancy Clinics. Their claim was that these clinics were fooling women into coming in when they really wanted an abortion. So What! Too Bad! If a woman really wanted an abortion she could leave and got to the nearest abortion mill and get one, no one is holding her captive. All they want to do is make sure that she knows the alternatives and allow her to make a truely informed decision. How will letting a woman know the stage of developement of her child limit her ability to procure an abortion? If she still wants an abortion after she has all the facts she can still leave the Crisis Pregnancy Clinic and get an abortion. After a woman has an abortion, all the information in the world will not bring back her child. Imagine if you were a woman with an unwanted pregnancy and you thought you couldn't afford the healthcare costs to bring the child to term and then either keep it or give it up for adoption? Imagine if you stepped into an abortion clinic, would they tell you your options? Or would they take your money, tell you, you were doing the right thing and murder your child? Imagine then if you stepped into a Crisis Pregnancy Clinic. There they would help you to know your options and to help you get the assistance you needed to keep your child. Even then it is still the woman's decision what to do. Which place would you like to go to? Where would you like your daughter to go to?

I really wonder about enviromentalists who push the abortion cause. Do they hate people that much? Do they so want to save the enviroment that they want to destroy humanity. Or do they think that the people who find themselves in an unwanted pregnancy aren't good enough to reproduce? Liberal elitism at it's worst.

Freedom of Choice Act or FOCA

An absolute misnomer. Freedom of choice only if you are pregnant and want an abortion is what they mean. If you are a healthworker or pharmacist you loose your freedom to choose, if you are a woman and want to choose a OB/GYN who supports life you loose your freedom to choose. If you are a man you have no say at all. Parents loose the right to oversee their children's lives. If the law is passed many people will loose the ability choose a hospital or clinic near their homes that is low cost. If the new administration wants to control health care costs, forcing Catholic Hospitals and Clinics to close is not the way to do it. It will collapse our health care system. I really hope that Mr Obama isn't that stupid. It would set up a show down with the Catholic Church and all Catholics, it would be a direct attach on our religous freedom. It would mean that the America I grew up with would be gone.
