Back in 1976, a saleslady from Planned Parenthood came to talk to my biology class in high school. A big part of her sales pitch was to insist that abortion is “perfectly safe,” and to stress the dangers of using contraceptives or having live babies.
IOW, there is nothing new about this claim. It is just one aspect of a multifaceted hard sell of abortion.
Better to get an abortion than to have your partner use a condom? While neither is, ahem, “ideal,” what industrial strength Kool-Aid has PP been downing by the barrel?
