On June 6, Cheryl Smith took her last $600 and drove her teenage daughter from Baltimore to Severna Park to get an abortion. When they got there, a receptionist told them the clinic had changed hands. The abortion provider had moved a few miles away, she said, but the new clinic would offer a pregnancy test and sonogram for free.
The Smiths stayed. After they saw a picture of the fetus at 21 weeks with arms and legs and a face, their thoughts of termination were gone....
With its ultrasound machine and its location, the Severna Park Pregnancy Clinic demonstrates two of the most important tactics in an intensifying campaign to woo women away from abortion clinics. Antiabortion organizations in recent years have added medical services to hundreds of Christian-oriented pregnancy counseling centers nationwide. Many of these antiabortion clinics have opened in or near places where women go to end pregnancies....
"They can set up a waiting room and an exam room, but that doesn't mean they employ actual medical practices," said Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation, a D.C.-based network of abortion providers....
Abortion rights activists are calling for tighter regulations. They say the antiabortion centers mislead women about the health effects of abortion....
Last year, Allyson Kirk, 24, of Manassas, a student at Northern Virginia Community College, became pregnant.... When Kirk was shown a video depiction of a fetus's head being severed during a surgical abortion, she walked out.
"I was outraged," Kirk said. She recalled saying: "This is horrible. I can't believe you do this to women who are lost and looking for help."

I read some where that that is just part of their revenue and that they receive "fees" for fetuses. I don't know. Maybe others do.

...Our 2nd, 3rd trimester Florida babies have been killed in Daytona....I believe the abortionist recently retired..... as he could afford to..
....killing large babies nets lots of money
It's everywhere netmom.
You are pro-choice....
Killing a child in the first trimester, is still killing a child.....it's not a blob of tissue.
..it has a heartbeat and brainwaves.
Crisis pregnancy centers already and actively give all information to the women, including sonograms....
..make it easier to put their child for adoption...or keeping the child, including helping the mother find medical assistance, housing, food, basic child needs, etc.
...but they don't and can't force this woman to keep her child.
..they can only present the facts with love and then pray hard.
Your last statement...I don't think any person should be forced to parent a child they don't want to parent...is not even valid.
In this day and age, no one is forced to parent a child.....hospitals even have 'drop off' stations for unwanted children....
...and parents across our nation are begging to adopt unwanted children....
..because someone wants these children!!!!
Thanks for the link. What some people do boggles the mind.
**Antiabortion Centers Offer Sonograms to Further Cause**
BTTT! Education is the main tool for fighting abortion in my opinion!
Oh, poor thing. Slapped in the fact with your intent to commit infanticide.
Reality hurts, huh? What about the baby inside you?
Unborn at five months. A blob of tissue to the Washington Compost and the murderers they support.

I guess in their minds, MURDER is a "medical practice," but sonograms aren't.
Sometimes I absolutely dispair at the state we find the world in.
Never hear of partial birth abortion?
Sure, I just thought that there was a limit to the date at which abortions could be performed.
Sadly, no.
And to think that Supreme Court Justice Alito
voted against the Partial Birth Abortion Ban in
New Jersey to uphold "process" despicable!!
This is awesome. If more women/girls seeking abortion could see that this is a little tiny human, more abortions can be prevented.
Typical WaPo rat bastards ... they never can just tell the unvarnished truth.
Must stamp out these pushy Buddhists! ;-)
(or maybe it's an ethical thing, not a religious thing after all??? Nahhhh....Couldn't be...)
Try telling liberals that we ought to at the very least view abortion like they do in Europe....
And while they are eagerly agreeing and nodding their heads
Spring the truth on them!!
