You said you were not ready to be a father. That is being unsupportive. She had the abortion because you were unsupportive. You say that was not true when it clearly was.

What is the problem?

Right...so because the nurse 'lied' it obviously means she wanted her patient to have an abortion?
Yes. I'm glad you're catching on.

Quote:
How do you make this ridiculous connection?
I don't know, Mak. Perhaps you could enlighten us all. Explain to us lower beings why the nurse would lie when asked if the baby had a heart beat? When you couple that with the doctor talking incessantly about how safe abortion is, claiming it to be "much, much safer" than pregnancy, a reasonable person would draw a reasonable conclusion.

Quote:
PP offers abortions, and other alternatives if you wanted to keep the baby. That garbage 'birth choice' site links you to sites which claim you'll get breast cancer, and emotional propaganda, and abortion isnt even an option. Where are all the choices?
What alternatives does Planned Parenthood offer, other than birth control, abortion, and abortion counseling? None that I'm aware of. So they're no different than the pro-life groups you criticize. Each has an agenda. Plain and simple.

Quote:
Which goes to show the lengths anti choicers will go to to push their agenda.
At least we lifers on this forum don't lie. I wish I could say the same for the pro-abortion crowd. Bottom line is: You said none of us offered any evidence supporting our assertions, and that was a lie.

Quote:
The anti choicers exaggerate the risks, and you know it.
I don't think so. In fact, less than a month ago there was a debate on this forum regarding the mental risks associated with abortion, and the anti-lifers utilized this debate to bash religion, after being presented with overwhelming evidence, because the majority of those who suffer from mental problems after an abortion are those that claim a religion. Of course it was just another example of pro-abortion dishonesty, considering over 80% of women who obtain abortions do in fact claim a religion.

Quote:
Yes, so?
It's disgusting.

Quote:
50% of conceptions fail to implant - do not believe me then check it out for yourself - google "miscarriage"
And your point? Do you have one?

The child will be born if the mother wishes it to be born.
Hooray! for women who play God!

So what if the fetus has a heartbeat? That doesnt mean she wanted the woman to have an abortion. You cannot possible make that connection.

Planned Parenthood offers choice. Thats the difference. It offers ALL choice, all three choices. Abortion, adoption, and keeping the baby. They will help you with that or find someone who can.

'Birth choice' offers only ONE choice. Have the baby. There is no other choice, so therefore they are not promoting choice at all. You cannot have a choice when there is no choice at all.

You've yet to explain why on earth the nurse would lie, assuming she didn't want the woman to have an abortion. I won't hold my breath, though, because I know you've no argument. You'll just keep repeating the same thing over and over again. It won't mean a thing, though, until you offer an explanation - a logical one. Take your time.

Quote:

Saying it over and over again doesn't make it true; I hope you realize this. If Planned Parenthood cared all that much about adoption, their website wouldn't point out the mental anguish faced by mothers who give their child up for adoption, claiming that abortion carries less risk. They talk about adoption and its benefits, but then they go on to mention the "potential problems" and they embellish. And if they cared all that much about adoption, the nurse in the video I offered wouldn't have lied, and the doctor wouldn't have said that abortion is "much, much, much safer than pregnancy."

Planned Parenthood abortions outnumber their adoption referrals 115 to 1. Sorta sounds to me like they push abortion, considering that's the most lucrative part of their business.

Sooner or later you will realize that in a reality based community, there is a difference between actual choice and influenced choice. Planned Parenthood is no different than the pro-life organizations you unjustly criticize.

Quote:

I suppose you think "Birth Choice" doesn't include adoption. Planned Parenthood, you say, cares about adoption and offers it as a choice, but of course the pro-life organizations, in your mind, are too devilish for that.

Love the double-standard you routinely operate with. The unassailable fact of the matter, which you'll never recognize, is that these pro-life groups offer just as much choice as Planned Parenthood. The only difference are the type of choices they offer.

That is a fact, a very well documented one, why lie about it?

Quote:

Are you saying the doctor should lie in order to allow other possible conclusions?

Quote:

You are kidding right?

Is the exact reverse not also true?

Let's say you're right. What would you recommend? Would you like to see three organizations, one pushing abortion, one pushing adoption, and one pushing raising the child yourself? Would you like to see a Standard Government Subsidy available, equal to all, and sufficient to cover EITHER the cost of abortion or the cost of prenatal care and childbirth, so there would be no economic incentive either way, for the woman (regardless of choice) or the organization?

Then a prospective customer could visit each organization, listen to their pitch, and make an informed decision. And nobody would have any need to PRETEND to be offering a service they either flat don't offer, or strongly de-emphasize.

We could even pass a law requiring each organization to recommend visits to the other two, or require visiting all three before making any decision.

Would anything like that satisfy you?

Why do you assume the nurse is lying? Perhaps she was mistaken, perhaps the embryo didn't have a heartbeat. Why would the nurse care one way or the other if the woman had an abortion?

Women giving their children up for adoption DO face mental anguish, do you think PP should LIE about THAT? There is no embellishment there. Abortion IS much, much safer than pregnancy/childbirth, more than 10 times safer, so who's embellishing?

PP is not an adoption agency, they merely refer patients who request it. It seems normal that abortions would outnumber adoptions.

Quote:

PP is different, they are non-profit and have no ax to grind. Crisis Pregnancy agencies exist for ONE reason: to prevent abortion. And they will go to any lengths to do that.

Quote:

Actually, some of the Crisis Pregnancy centers exist to get babies for adoption, they are paid big bucks for them. The more evil ones refuse to give a woman any assistance until they agree to adoption. They are truly evil. You should do more reading on the subject.

http://jezebel.com/5351936/crisis-pr...ficial-orphans
While there is growing awareness of how CPCs hinder abortion access, the centers have a broader agenda that is less well known: they seek not only to induce women to "choose life" but to choose adoption, either by offering adoption services themselves... or by referring women to Christian adoption agencies. Far more than other adoption agencies, conservative Christian agencies demonstrate a pattern and history of coercing women to relinquish their children.

Right-wing "crisis pregnancy centers" are even more corrupt than you think
By Lynn Harris
We like to say that abortion opponents care about what happens to babies only until they're born. Well, turns out we might be wrong. In many cases they do care what happens post-partum -- far, far too much. In "Shotgun Adoption," a truly chilling investigative report in the current issue of the Nation, "Quiverfull" author Kathryn Joyce reveals that so-called (and taxpayer-funded) crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) often have an extreme-Christian agenda even more corrupt than using false pretenses and scare tactics to pressure women to continue challenging pregnancies. That is: They don't just coerce women to have children. They coerce women to give their children up

Crisis Pregnancy centers offer NO CHOICE to women who want abortions. The only choice is keep the baby or give it up, and some do not allow that option.

This raises a point our oh-so-honest anti-choice advocate tends to gloss over. If you are a girl faced with an unexpected pregnancy for which you are unprepared in every possible way, you certainly have no shortage of religion-affiliated "help" to go to. None of which offers, or will even tolerate discussion of, abortion. If you regard abortion as one legitimate alternative (whether or not you end up going with it), what choices do you have out there?

Planned Parenthood doesn't "push" abortions - they OFFER abortions and nobody else does. They're about the only place such women can go. And in reality, most of the girls who wouldn't dream of an abortion tend to be highly religious, and their church can always lead them straight to any number of faith-based "crisis pregnancy" centers. Though why a WANTED pregnancy would be a crisis, I can't guess.

In fairness to the places that due to dogmatic reasons will not, can not, offer balanced advice, can we and should we expect them to and if not should we expect them to just close?

Absolutely not! They are just as entitled to their view as anyone else, and should have the freedom to express it and act on it just like anyone else.
