I'm not sure what the issue is. I couldn't find in the article a screenshot of the exact ad (why?) but assuming that it is presenting itself as a pregnancy crisis center than I see nothing wrong. If someone had an unwanted pregnancy there are several things that can be done, abortion is one of them, but there are others. If, let's say, the mother doesn't want the baby because she cannot financially support it, then a charity that can support the baby might be a better solution to the mother than abortion.
Some organizations only offer abortion (planned Parenthood) others don't (the one in the article). Each mother should have the option and knowledge to choose the one that is appropriate for her.
- Cenk 7y agoPlanned Parenthood does not only offer abortions.
- gboone 7y agoYes, they also offer condoms if you're pregnant.
- Cenk 7y agoBesides abortions and condoms Planned Parenthood also provides, amongst others: * Pregnancy services and prenatal care * STD and HIV testing and treatment * Birth control * Vasectomies * Screening for reproductive cancers (like breast, cervical, testicular, and prostate cancers) * Pap tests * Vaccines * PrEP and PEP (medicines to help prevent HIV) * Transgender health services, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) These are all important health services, and reducing PP to condoms and abortions is dishonest at best.
- Doxin 7y agoPresenting yourself as a pregnancy crisis center, but then opting to omit information about a very important option seems rather deceptive to me.
