Not a militant, eh? How about obsessed religious bigot who couldn't have cared less about underage sexual abuse and was interested only in using any law he could find to harass and intimidate those who disagreed with him? Is that a better fit?

And who'll take them in? Not just the adorable wide-eyed ones that you see in the commercials, the inner city kids from tough backgrounds and the special needs kids as well.

I never said to kill anyone. I gave you reasons why some adoption is not always the "blessing" some think it is. it is not always the way to go and said that a percentage of woman who can't or won't put their children up for adoption often, the child born lives under terrible circumstanced. again not my choice, these decisions should always be left up to the individual.

Then why did Abby Johnson say Planned Parenthood pushes for abortion to get the money? Maybe they like the subsidies they get from rich donors. Whatever, abortion is a big business and a big money maker.

Tiller lived in a huge mansion here. He had other properties in other states. You can't buy those kind of things without getting mega money somewhere.

Planned Parenthood makes information about adoption available to pregnant girls and women who seek advice. For example...

Thinking About Adoption

Teens & Adoption
Praise Planned Parenthood for helping out the women of today.

I will be sending them a donation soon.

Girls and women are unnecessarily scared about horror stories on adoption. My sister adopted and I think most of us know people who have adopted or a person who was adopted. We know most of them turn out just fine.

The reality of abortion - YouTube-style Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 11/14/2009 4:05:00 AM


[LEFT]A video describing a first-trimester abortion -- produced by Priests for Life and published on YouTube -- has reached a milestone.[/LEFT]



[LEFT]
The YouTube video has been viewed more than a million times. Spokeswoman Janet Morana tells OneNewsNow that Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life plays host as he describes in direct but delicate terms just exactly what happens during an abortion.

Using a fetal model and actual tools of abortion, Pavone says "this instrument I have in my hands was actually used to kill babies in the way that I'm about to describe" -- adding that "this is the gruesome reality of what abortion is."

Morana says the frequency of the viewing of the three-minute video makes her group hopeful -- because the problem in society, she feels, is that the words "abortion" and "choice" have lost their meaning and people are not sure about what happens during an abortion.

"And so by people viewing this first-trimester [abortion] description...along with seeing those little fetal models -- that this is the size of the baby that's actually being ripped apart in this procedure -- I think it's heightening the awareness [to the point where people understand] this really is a well-formed child, even in the first trimester," she says.

Education, she adds, is one of the keys in the pro-life movement. "We have testimonies on our website of people who have seen this YouTube [video], who have seen the other graphic images and the procedures that we have available on the Priests for Life website...and we have testimonies that people have been converted."

Morana encourages people who encounter others who claim to be pro-abortion or "pro-choice" to motivate them to see the video.[/LEFT]

Baby Body Parts

[LEFT]Priests for Life has known for some time of the grisly trade in baby parts taking place in abortion facilities throughout the nation. Through the efforts of our friends at Life Dynamics, Inc., the details of this trade have come to light. You may obtain from Life Dynamics (1-800-401-6494) copies of the actual order forms used. Some of the forms request that there be no abnormalities. Many mistakenly think that abortions in later stages of pregnancy are performed only in cases of fetal abnormality.

Fetal tissue wholesalers are companies which place employees in abortion clinics to harvest tissue, limbs, organs, etc. from aborted babies. This material is then shipped to researchers working for universities, pharmaceutical companies and government agencies. Although it is against federal law to sell human tissue or body parts, these organizations have devised a system to circumvent this restriction. Technically, all fetal material they harvest is "donated" to them by the clinics. However, they do pay a "site fee" to the clinics for the right to access the tissue. The tissue is then "donated" to the researchers who in turn pay the wholesalers for the cost of retrieval. Profit is realized by the wholesalers' ability to set their own retrieval fees.[/LEFT]

Next time, do a better job of posting.

And I watched it. I am still pro choice...or better yet pro abortion.

If abortion is so good why isn't it shown on TV just like any other operation is shown? If people see what happens more and more people would be against them. Not good for those who make money from the industry.
