Pro-Choicers have been complaining about the pictures of the born babies so I’ve been trying to get some with pictures of the baby in the womb.
People mourned over the losses on 9/11, but many don’t mourn over the losses from abortion. The number of deaths at 9/11 is the same number of deaths every year from abortion.
Except the people who died in 9/11 were born, sentient and feeling persons. They had families and dreams and felt pain. They had jobs and lives and family.
Fuck, you piss me off.
Worry about the babies people WANT and cannot afford to get prenatal care for or afford to get medical attention for after birth. Worry about people who can’t afford to feed their families nutritious food.
Basically, here’s a scenario that ( I pray) proves that you are full of shit: You are in an IVF clinic, it is on fire. There is 1 frozen fertilized egg and there is a 4 year old and you can only save one of them, the other will surely perish.
I’m guessing you chose the 4 year old, right?

Dear followers, I post this every couple of months so if you need Plan B, you can get it. Here is a $10 off coupon. Remember that at Planned Parenthood (in MA at least), its only $26 to start with!
Reblog to let your followers get it too!
Everyone in America should know that an actual candidate for U.S. Senate said this about women who are raped.
Please share this.
what would be MORE helpful is if people donated money to sen. claire mccaskill’s campaign against akin. did you know she was missouri’s first female elected senator? she was and she’s GREAT. todd akin has been getting ridiculous amounts of money from outside the state that’s allowed him to run awful and misleading attack ads on dozens of channels dozens of times a day. mccaskill can’t compete money-wise, and she’s getting steamrolled.
as a woman in missouri, seeing todd akin represent my interests in the senate would be a nightmare.
see dis is what i was quoting! homie is fuckin insane
“Planned Parenthood has been my go-to place since college,” she says. “When I got to my appointment I laid out my situation for the social worker. She was amazing. One of things I remember most vividly is her telling me that I couldn’t make a wrong decision. It was the first time anyone had said this to me. She was telling me that either way—having a baby or having an abortion—was okay. She didn’t tell me what I should or shouldn’t do, but instead helped me think about the issues. As I talked I understood that my problem was not the pregnancy but the relationship I was in. By listening and not judging me the counselor helped me clarify what I had to do: Abort the father, keep the baby.”
Almash’s speech is salted with adjectives: Great, helpful, compassionate. That’s why, she continues, she gets so riled up when conservative politicians condemn Planned Parenthood and other reproductive health providers. “I want these legislators to know that my three-year-old is here, not despite, but because of, Planned Parenthood.”
Indeed, comprehensive options counseling—to help women determine whether abortion, adoption, or childbearing is right for them—is deeply woven into the care offered at women’s health facilities throughout the United States.
