Don’t abortion clinics do the same thing? Planned Parenthood isn’t called Planned Unparenthood. The whole abortion industry is based on euphemisms like your use of “choice” to avoid describing what’s really taking place.

Do you honestly believe that the name Planned Parenthood is confusing to the point of being intentionally deceptive?

  Yes. Proponents of abortion (a neutral term) use terms that minimize the actions they are taking to deceive and lessen the guilt of what they are doing. * terminating the life of a fetus isn't "infanticide" it's a "choice" * an abortion clinic isn't "an execution center" it's "a medical center" * people who are against abortion aren't "pro-life" they're "anti-choice" * abortion isn't "child murder" it's "healthcare" They do this to normalize their actions. If they spent one second contemplating what they are doing from a neutral point of view it would be terrifying. A la "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream".

    Wow, it's incredible just how much you're warping language. > terminating the life of a fetus isn't "infanticide" it's a "choice" To make abortion sound worse, you redefine infanticide. Encyclopedia Britannica says: "infanticide, the killing of the newborn" - notice how being born is a necessary precondition? > an abortion clinic isn't "an execution center" it's "a medical center" Yes, just like any other place that does healthcare. > people who are against abortion aren't "pro-life" they're "anti-choice" Yes, you want to take people's choice away. > abortion isn't "child murder" it's "healthcare" Yes, because the child develops during pregnancy, it's not there from the moment of conception. Makes it pretty difficult to murder a child if there is no child yet. But that's what you have to do to make your arguments work - there is no logical basis, so you have to warp everything around you to hopefully find some way to manipulate those around you.

Abortion clinics allow people to choose when to be parents...plan it out, so to speak. Anti-choice entities actively lie in order to take this choice away.

Planned Parenthood isn't in the "abortion industry." The vast majority of its work is supplying birth control, STD testing, cancer screening, and a bunch of general health care for women and poor families. They're the ones that happen to have expertise working with adoption agencies, not pregnancy crisis centers. Almost half of Planned Parenthood's funding comes from the government via Medicaid and due to the Hyde Act, none of it can even be used for abortions. Most of the rest of their funding is literally for family planning. It's in the name! Next time you or a partner need some sort of reproductive services, whether that's condoms, an STD test, or prenatal vitamins, you can go to Planned Parenthood and get it for free nationwide. The only reason to go to your GP and use your insurance is its faster and the results go directly to your doctor.
