I've had matured opinions on planned parenthood for well over 10 years. I've just never been vocal about it. In terms of skin in the game, I protested at the abortion clinic this morning. Felt good to get out and do something meaningful with my time. When you connect with people and potential victims of abortion, because that's really what they are, it feels good. And according to another protestor, some of these potential victims are so grateful they went ahead with motherhood. Now I didn't have any direct interactions with potential victims but still felt good to get the word out and educate people on the destructive nature of abortion.

ABORTION KILLS!
The Lie
Abortion providers sell this violent act as a “cure” to unintended pregnancies. Women and men are told the babies in the womb are not “persons” and that abortion does not kill a living human being. The same language that was used to discriminate against African Americans in the past is now being used to discriminate against unborn babies. Science, however, tells us that a unique, new human life begins at fertilization.
Abortion Terminology
Often the word “abortion” is never used by abortion advocates. Words and phrases like “choice” or “reproductive health” are used to sanitize the gruesome reality of abortion. Attempts to present factual information often leads to accusations of “misogyny” and waging a “War on Women.”
Enough with the word games and name calling.
The Truth
Abortion means a living human being who is preparing to be born will suffer a violent death.
The scientific field of embryology clearly shows that at fertilization, when a sperm fertilizes an ovum (also known as conception), the life of a human being begins. Embryology textbooks recognize this scientific fact.
Human life has been cheapened by abortion. When one of us is devalued, we are all devalued. All lives matter, born and unborn.
Hope For Tomorrow
Share the facts about abortion and teach and promote the preciousness of human life.
Care for and minister to those who are hurting from a past abortion.
Promote self respect and abstinence among young people.
