“30% of women, almost one out of 3, have abortions because someone else – often the man involved – wants them to. Is this choice?”
The late Alan Guttmacher, president of Planned Parenthood and lifelong supporter of abortion
Daniel Callahan “An Ethical Challenge to Pro-Choice Advocates” Commonweal November 23, 1990 684
They neglect to say that the “Pressure” is from PP.
At times but not always. Sometimes it’s from boyfriends/husbands, family or friends.
The horrible reality is that it all comes down to money. After the fun no one wants to pay.
This sort of discussion makes me physically ill.
Human beings, brought down to convenience and $$$
:-(
Oh I certainly understood that. But I’ve also seen and read interviews where once a client is at PP they do their best to try and get them to follow through as soon as possible and not give them time to think it over. I’ve seen this a lot more than once. That’s mainly why I think the 30% figure is a lot of them, too.
Frankly, I think their assertion is an odd tack to take, really. According to them, the woman’s right to body is solely her choice, yet they are able to track exactly how many of them aren’t making that ‘free choice.’
I agree abortion clinics assume that if a woman comes there she’s made up her mind she wants only an abortion this is why they don’t offer any other options.
She is never asked if this is what she really wants or if she’s being forced. Not that they would care.
So. How do you suppose they came up with that 30% figure? Just asking? Do they give them a questionnaire or something?
You want my honest opinion? It’s higher than 30%.
I don’t know how they came up with that. This site “Clinic Quotes” just quotes them. It gives a source as you can see but did not track down how they got that figure. My gut tells me if you asked pro lifers you’d get a much much higher number.
I suppose you could be right. One could assume that PP wants to say that ‘religion’ is one of the big ‘pressures’ in that other 70%. Hard to say without know exactly how they derived it.
In any case, to my mind all this choice, and pressure (or lack of it)and who does what to whom all still boils down to the taking of a life that is not one’s to take, and to compound this within the context of parenthood and planning is a cruel joke.
Sounds to me like, if mothers can’t handle the extraneous pressures surrounding the decision to murder hers and the father’s son(s) or daughter(s), mothers should not be granted that “right” to murder them.
1.4 Billion children have already been murdered by their mothers, just since 1980. Mothers are the only entity in the world granted the “right” to murder and murder they do with what they believe is impunity. Could they be any more wrong? http://www.numberofabortions.com/
That’s far more people’s lives snuffed out, than all the people killed in all of the world’s wars and health epidemics throughout all of history, combined.
That’s a lot of evil executed in just the last 35 and 1/2 years. Especially considering how many thousands of years man has been inhabiting the earth.
There’s never been an evil act proportionate to this evil act of mothers killing their children in all of the history of the world - it is unprecedented, to say the least.
1 in 3 women in the USA will become a mother who kills her child and its most likely she’ll kill more than one of them. Think about that next time you’re out at the mall or a public gathering...that’s a frikkin lot of murderers roaming the streets.
How many of them do you think are remorseful and penitent and spending life in a prison they’ve made for themselves? Or, better yet, how many of them seek and receive reconciliation and have set themselves free from the sentence of death? I guess we know many of them by how many of the remorseful mothers have had the guts and sincerity in their confessions to speak up and tell their stories and do all that they can to prevent other mothers from making their same grave errors.
From what I see, and I look and listen quite intently, it kind of reminds me of the Muslims who sit quietly and watch the Muslim extremists commit acts of terror and honor killings and rapes, etc...I just don’t believe that 99% of them really believe they’ve done anything wrong.
Just because our perverse society/culture has deemed these murders legal does not make them any less of a murder, of course. The eternal truth is for all of mankind, thou shall not kill.
Yes, they should be labels “Lack of Planning Clinics”.
And if “Choice” proponents were truly pro-choice as they like to call themselves, they would fully support mandatory ultrasound viewing by the mothers/parents as part of the work up to the dirty deed.
PP’s founder wanted ALL babies in Western Europe in 1947-1957 aborted. Tough cookies for any woman who would be out of mother bearing age when 1958 rolled around.
The abortion movement is NOT about choice. It’s about damned Marxism and changing the makeup of the world. Genocide of the West sold as “personal freedom”.

Those sons don't want to be 'punished with baby' for 18 years.
Barack Hussein Obama, a bastard himself, is okay with that.
PP is against informed consent.
And just how DOES a 13 year old pregnant girl GIVE consent (or afford an abortion)?
Why God doesn’t just thumb us like a bug is baffling.
