(Pregnancy Recommendations News) By now, it’s abundantly clear Big Abortion understands the strategic threat that free pregnancy Recommendations poses to its business model.
After all, as quickly as you’re the only game in town, there’s no have to tend to pesky details like sterilization, hospital admitting privileges for surgical procedures, proper billing practices, mandatory reporting of sexual abuse, and—you know, telling the naked truth in general.
Faced along with the excruciating—and, to be fair, impossible—choice between boosting its own “services” and attacking the competition, Big Abortion is now responding as would certainly any vicious creature caught between a rock and hard place.
Claws extended, eyes flashing, here’s 5 means the multi-billion dollar abortion industry is baring its fangs at the life-affirming community.
1. Weaponizing Government Entities
Most conspicuously, 2015 and 2016 have actually been marked by a pair of bills passed through respective (loose usage noted) legislatures in California and Illinois to further force abortion upon women as their only choices in an unexpected pregnancy.
In California, the so-called “Reproductive Truth Act”—which is currently in the courts—forces non-taxpayer funded pro-life pregnancy centers to go for between violating the law and violating conscience by referring their clients for taxpayer-covered abortions through a state-mandated disclaimer.
In Illinois, a bill sits on Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s desk that would certainly fundamentally revoke the rights of conscience not only for community-based pregnancy centers, however for all pro-life medical professionals by forcing them to participate in abortions by providing a list of abortion providers to their patients.
As one 16th century monk put it, “To go versus conscience is neither right nor safe.”
In the Golden State and the Land of Lincoln, it could not be safe to do just what is right for much longer.
However, if past attacks on pregnancy centers in New York City, Austin (TX), Washington state, and Baltimore (MD)—the latter of which cost taxpayers a whopping $330,000—are any indication, both laws are much more bark compared to bite, and are headed for the scrap heap of history alongside their legislative predecessors.
- Exposes and Investigations… Sans Facts
Ironically, even as Planned Parenthood circles the wagons versus a categorically damning undercover investigation by David Daleiden and the focus for Medical Progress, the abortion lobby has actually turned its guns on the pregnancy Recommendations community along with a counterstrike of delusional “exposés.”
Just an hour after Daleiden released his initial of 12 videos detailing the indisputable Truth that Planned Parenthood sells physique sections harvested from aborted babies, Cosmopolitan—that bastion of journalistic excellence—unveiled a laughable hit piece on pregnancy Recommendations centers.
While Daleiden caught Planned Parenthood red-handed illegally trafficking in physique sections from aborted babies, Cosmopolitan caught pregnancy centers red-handed informing women of the physical, and emotional dangers of abortion.
Cosmo’s startling revelations—including the jaw-dropper that pregnancy centers are predominantly run by Christian women that sometimes err on the adverse of needlepoint—came on the heels of similarly tepid reports from a NARAL-funded “undercover investigator” in California whose unsubstantiated claims versus pregnancy centers nonetheless became the bedrock to the Reproductive Truth Act.
Never one to let honest truth get hold of in the means of a good fishing expedition, the abortion industry has turned to local comics and even self-reported comedian Patton Oswalt to intentionally generate lies concerning pregnancy centers.
If an alien from yet another planet landed here tomorrow, try explaining this conundrum to your man over dinner:
We’re willing to dismiss three years’ worth of investigation that videotaped dozens of felonies—each of which revolve about tearing apart unborn kids and reselling their physique parts—however we’re all set to go to war versus pregnancy centers based on just what we make up concerning them at comedy nights.
It’s the ultimate straining the gnat to swallow the camel, and unless your Brand-new alien friend is from the planet Bizzaro, one dinner isn’t going to be enough time to convince him.
- A Joke of a Sample Size
While there’s nothing funny concerning comedians or anyone else fabricating lies, one element in the current wave of attacks versus pregnancy centers turns out to be fairly amusing.
In the history of Major League Baseball, 116 users have actually homered in their first-ever big league at-bat. Despite the fact that it would certainly be almost impossible to start off a job on a better note—Cleveland’s Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a grand slam on the initial pitch he ever saw in 2006—that initial at-bat is hardly a predictor of just what is to come.
In fact, 26 of those users that went deep in their initial at-bats never hit yet another homer, none ever hit as numerous as 400 homers, and only 20 ever hit as numerous as 100 long balls.
The only Hall of Famer on the list? Hoyt Wilhelm, a pitcher whose initial at-bat homer was the only he’d ever hit in his 20-year career.
The operative term is “sample size.” It’s actually not a complex idea, however it has actually nonetheless eluded Big Abortion in its quest to rid the globe of community-based nonprofits providing free ultrasounds and material goods like auto seats to women that desperately requirement them.
In a recent “study” on pregnancy centers—of which there are over 2,500 locations, not counting maternity homes, mobile ultrasound units and nonprofit adoption agencies in the U.S.—Contraception cherry-selected one Indiana pregnancy focus to extrapolate the quite conclusively titled, “just what women seek from a pregnancy resource center.”
Before even touching on the credibility of the report, which we’ll tackle below, notice that, in extrapolating guide meant to lose light on what’s happening in 2,500 places in the U.S., only one focus is tabbed for the report.
The baseball equivalent? Take a ballplayer that homers in his initial at-bat. would certainly you expect your man to reach 2,500 homers 2,500 at-bats later? just what if that was his only one in 2,500 at-bats—roughly three years as an day-to-day player?
Hard to tell along with that small a sample, no?
- An Indiana Piñata
Speaking of a flawed study, let’s talk much more concerning the “pregnancy center” Contraception has actually filled along with sugary goodness and hung from the oak tree out back.
Back in 2014, we ran an write-up on the nation’s first-ever actually “deceptive pregnancy center,” titled—appropriately, we thought—“Deceptive Pregnancy focus Set to Open in Indiana.”
Wait, did someone Simply say Indiana? Yes, the state Simply west of Ohio, east of Illinois, north of Kentucky, south of Michigan. Same ol’ Hoosier state, same ol’ “deceptive pregnancy center.”
What makes this pregnancy focus deceptive—and therefore the poorest feasible representation for a “study” on pregnancy centers—is it’s founded by the abortion industry and even linked to Backline, an abortion parody of 24-7 pregnancy helplines like Option Line that connect women in have to local life-affirming help.
Indeed, “All choices Pregnancy Resource Center” was established along with the rather purpose of pretending to be a pregnancy center. What’s that line concerning the highest form of flattery?
And which Pregnancy Resource focus do you believe was used for the Contraception study? That’s right, All Options, hailed by radically pro-abortion outlets everywhere.
Look, if Tommy prefers to swing away at a piñata, that’s reasonable game. What’s not reasonable game is if Tommy rigs his own piñata, fills it along with his own candy, then proclaims themselves Lord of the Backyard Confections Prior to the party even starts.
At least wait for the others youngsters to get hold of there, Tommy.
- A Mic lose Moment
Right from college, I took a job as a barista at a local Starbucks. As a constant coffee consumer—“addict” is a bit strong, I think—I believed the job would certainly be great.
Turned out, I didn’t take to the job like I believed I would. The Brand-new college grad-sized chip on my shoulder made it a bit difficult for me to apply myself and a couple of weeks in, I still hadn’t learned any of the ingredients to a caramel macchiato.
Before long, I turned in my apron and Sharpie.
Now, if you hope to get hold of a good, broad understanding of just what it’s like to job at Starbucks, I’m not the guy to talk to. I was only at one location a couple of weeks and that was the end of it.
Apparently, though, the chronicles of my short tenure at the local coffee shop is in higher need over at Vox.com, where a former pregnancy focus volunteer tells her story of, “How my job talking women from abortions made me pro-choice.”
Having volunteered at a focus for a month or so in 2001, writer Suzie Meister enlightens readers to her short-lived, 15-years-ago experience attempting to “talk women from abortions.”
Light on facts and heavy on sweeping generalizations, Meister’s piece does little beyond regurgitate Big Abortion’s main beef along with pregnancy centers: they’re run by Christians that are holding out a life-affirming alternative to abortion.
Where Meister’s piece does take on some life, however, is in her closing anecdote. Recounting her initial and only experience sitting face-to-face along with a woman as a peer counselor, Meister—that reminds readers of her famous run on a 2001 MTV show—sets the reader up for a mic lose moment.
It turned out the woman she was helping had come in to the focus after having been raped—a victim of the same crime Meister herself had, sadly, endured as well.
To Meister, the specter of pregnancy through rape is where the pro-life placement comes unraveled and a “pro-choice” outlook becomes a necessity. however that would certainly be news to other rape victims that have actually picked to carry their babies to term, or who—like Juda Myers—are themselves kids conceived through rape.
Is the sort of “care” for rape victims offered at the local Planned Parenthood just what Meister has actually in mind, where the crimes are swept under the rug and sexual predators walk away free?
That does not happen at a pregnancy focus near you. And there’s your clue for why Big Abortion is so intent on stopping pregnancy Recommendations at all costs.
