The issue is Planned Parenthood makes profit on abortions, so they failed to prevent pregnancies & reduce abortions in order to increase profit. Thrive came in & did the job of reducing pregnancies & abortions causing the abortion clinics to lose money & close down.

Thereby driving women into the arms of backstreet butchers. Way to go.

I think that if they advertise that they provide information on abortion, and information on birth control, that they should also advertise that the information they provide is biased. They should let women know up front they are an anti-abortion organization, and that they also will not assist a woman in obtaining birth control. Trying to prevent unwanted pregnancies is MORAL, too. Is Thrive's failure to provide referrals to doctors for birth control immoral?

And if your agenda is to make sure that no doctor is available to perform an abortion in Missouri, it really doesn't matter if it's legal or not. Because you have to go to an underground butcher or out of state to get one. Thrive did nothing to reduce pregnancies, by the way. And Planned Parenthood, despite your assertion, provides birth control, and instructs men and women on how to use birth control, which actually does prevent pregnancies. And these services vastly outweigh abortion services.

Women deserve respect. Thrive doesn't respect women. If they did, they wouldn't try to fool them with advertising and marketing that masks their anti-abortion, anti-birth control stance.

It wouldn't kill you to educate yourself on the topic.


I will definitely call this thread a thread fail if it hasn't been called that already.

You called Planned Parenthood a "women's health clinic" and have the nerve to accuse others of hyperbole?
