I think that it would also be helpful if the woman is shown an ultrasound of her baby - even very early on the baby can be identified as such, complete with heartbeat.
Many women I know became pro-life after becoming mothers and seeing their unborn child on ultrasound. They say that gave them the realization that this is not a "product of conception," it's a living human being.
What do you not understand about the name of the magazine?
The pregnancy help centers that I know of don't hide the fact that they are pro-life. Looks like the pro-abortion media are trying to drum up a negative image of the centers and pro-life people in general.
I think Ms. Greene was a plant.
I am sure the auction block in slave days was pretty graphic, too. God save us all.
>The New Pregnancy Scare: Clinics Run by Antichoice Supporters >Are Drawing in More Unsuspecting Women Than Ever.
These clinics offer a service to the community. If abortion centers can sugarcoat an abortion, centers offering FREE pregnancy tests can OFFER to show real footage of an abortion.
I love how they say "ANTI-CHOICE". Crap psychology terminology.
yeah....SELF ... says it all doesn't it? I agree with you.
Good point.
"[S]he felt "incredibly trapped. Eventually it dawned on me that I wasn't getting an abortion that day."
Well DUH! She should have felt incredibly STUPID!
Abortion is an incredibly selfish, evil deed. People who work--especially those who volunteer--to provide alternatives to abortion are among the most selfless, kind people on the planet. It is vile that liberals in the media, pro-aborts, NY attorney general Spitzer, etc. want to work against the crisis pregnancy centers. They deserve our disgust. But the best thing would be for such as these to repent and turn pro-life as--amazingly!--Dr. Nathanson and "Jane Roe" (McCorvey) have themselves.
I think Ms. Greene is more like Jayson Blair or Janet Cook. If she had told the truth about the pregnancy help centers (that they are filled with nice, good people), she wouldn't have gotten paid a dime for her article by SELF or any other MSM magazine.
"Many women I know became pro-life after becoming mothers and seeing their unborn child on ultrasound."
They must have access to a lot better ultrasound equipment than I have seen. All of the ultrasound pictures or our kids looked like bug-eyed aliens (when you could make out anything at all.) (We took a chance and kept all six of them anyway.)
"or our kids" = of our kids.
It's hard to type at 2:49 a.m. Bed time...
It is fitting that a magazine that is caused "Self" (as in "selfish") is denouncing pregnancy crisis centers - which really DO offer an alternative to abortion - in favor of one of the most selfish things a woman can do - murder her unborn because it is too big of an inconvenience.
Did anyone expect sanity from a magazine titled "SELF?"
Kill them little piggies, girls, Tay-ray-za is on YOUR side.
Blue Amerika forever.
Useless eaters "'Raus!"
All we really need to know about "Self" magazine is a list of its advertisers.
