The Catholic Church use to teach that that life began at the Quickening (4 or 5 months into the pregnancy when the mother starts to feel movement). Before that, they believed the mother was carrying a lifeless flesh vessel awaiting the breath of life from God. For a very large chuck of its existence, the Catholic Church allowed abortions to be performed prior to the Quickening.
My point: Things changes. Organizations alter their positions over time.
Perfectly legal medical procedure. Get over it. Don't want an abortion, don't have one, but don't tell other women what to do.
Do you propose it was a baby's life only when abortion was illegal but suddenly it is not a baby's life when the procedure is legal and Planned Parenthood has a vested financial interest to gain by providing the procedure?
Don't you think it is just a bid hypocritical for you to demand I not my express my opinion as you tell me what to do?
So let Planned Parenthood change it's stance. Science now says it is a baby and can even show pictures and hear a heartbeat at 10 days. So get with the updated times.

I never made any such proposal. The fact is is that abortion in a legal medical procedure and regardless of your views, a woman can choose to have one if she wishes.

Did I tell you to go out and get an abortion? No. But since you need me to spell it out for you . . .

The truth is is that abortion is legal, and fact is that the law does not recognize a fetus, especially in the first trimester when most abortions are preformed, as a human being with rights. Those are the facts. Those are the truths. So get over it, and stop forcing your beliefs on others. Don't want an abortion? Don't have one.
How is making women feel like abortion is the only option they have advocating choice?
Statistics in the hands of people who don't understand them can be a dangerous and moronic thing. Out of that total population, how many went to Planned Parenthood for the express purpose of getting an abortion? How many were undecided when they went to Planned Parenthood? How many had already decided upon adoption and wanted a referral when they went to Planned Parenthood? We don't know those things and thus those numbers are meaningless, other than to show the most basic information. And they certainly do not support what you insinuate in the least.
