Focus on the Family Ultrasound Program Saves 146,000 Babies From Abortion | LifeNews.com


A program started by Focus on the Family to place ultrasound machines in pregnancy centers has saved thousands and thousands of babies from abortion and now the program is expanding to promote adoption.

Focus on the Family is teaming up with the National Council for Adoption (NCA) to train counselors in pregnancy resource centers and medical clinics on how to discuss adoption as a possibility with women facing unexpected pregnancies.

How do these nutcases know that the ultrasound prevented that many abortions?

Nothing in the article says how they came to that figure. People get ultrasounds for various reasons, and not just because the law says they have to in order to get an abortion.

Please provide actual evidence that their claim is true.

I did, what a waste of time. The article doesn't explain how their ultrasounds prevent that many abortions. Just a lot of sanctimonious holier than though garbage but no facts

If YOU had read and understood the article, you'd see that there is no data supporting that number. It's just an estimate pulled out of a thin air. That's clear from the article.

And that's my last post on this topic. I'm not encouraging you to post this garbage every day.

Isn't it normal to have ultrasound machines in pregnancy centers, as well as adoption counseling available?

It doesn't say how beyond saying that they did. So it must be true!

Focus on the Family could start a non-abortion providing version of Planned Parenthood if they really cared about preventing unplanned pregnancies, and therefore abortion, but they don't.
