MCCL's sneaky plan....

A letter to the editor from the St. Cloud Times:

Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life has introduced a piece of legislation deceptively titled the "Positive Alternatives Act." This act would provide state grant funding to anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers.

Anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers such as the Pregnancy Resource Center of St. Cloud often choose names that suggest impartiality to confuse unsuspecting clients seeking legitimate clinics.

Crisis pregnancy centers offer free over-the-counter pregnancy tests to lure women potentially experiencing an unplanned pregnancy to their facilities. ...

They then can provide misleading information about pregnancy and reproductive health options, depriving the women of accurate information needed to make a fully informed choice.

It is inappropriate and dangerous to suggest that $4 million of state grant money be directed toward agencies that pressure women into parenthood or adoption.

This is another sneaky tactic by the MCCL to progress the anti-choice agenda.

You can prevent this from happening by calling your representatives today and telling them that you do not agree with this initiative.

Yes, Julie. God, err... goddess forbid that even one child is spared death in utero due to the efforts of those sneaky bastards at the MCCL. Yes, leading a woman to making a choice to keep her baby or put her baby up for adoption to a loving family would be a tragedy, wouldn't it Mrs. Seminitis? After all, abortion is ironically a birthright, a sacrament of a truly liberated woman! We would all instead love to see the baby's skull punctured, its brains sucked out and its body dismembered as it's flushed down a sink.

Now that I've squeezed out all the sarcasm I can regarding this op-ed without barfing, let's start off with this:

"Anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers such as the Pregnancy Resource Center of St. Cloud often choose names that suggest impartiality to confuse unsuspecting clients seeking legitimate clinics.(emphasis mine).

Crisis pregnancy centers offer free over-the-counter pregnancy tests to lure women potentially experiencing an unplanned pregnancy to their facilities. ..." (gasp!! how awful!!)

So then, a legitimate clinic in Ms. hyphenated-Seminitis' mind is one in which two people walk in alive but only one person walks out in said state of being?

"They then can provide misleading information about pregnancy and reproductive health options, depriving the women of accurate information needed to make a fully informed choice."

First of all, what is with this "reproductive health" nonsense? Just whose health are the abortionists trying to protect? Certainly not the child's. Second, just how accurate is the information that the abortionists are providing? I have spent some time reviewing Planned Parenthood's website, and nowhere do I find the health, psychological, or moral ramifications of abortion as listed here or here.

Every woman, whether going into a Planned Parenthood Clinic or the Pregnancy Resource Center knows that abortion is a legal choice. Via perusal of both web sites, it appears that it is the former that is not providing the true, accurate information regarding abortion, its risk, and its ramifications. After all, there is money to be made or lost depending on how well their clientele is "educated", or perhaps in the case of Planned Parenthood, indoctrinated.
