Even though I think abortion is a very difficult, very JUSTIFIABLE decision to any woman who finds herself in a situation of accidental pregnancy, I respect the personal views of people who do not believe in abortion because I like to respect all beliefs, otherwise how could I expect my beliefs to respected right?
However, when these self-righteous, pain in my ass crusaders march around acting like they have a freakin right to tell us what we’re ALLOWED to do with our bodies? It’s just wrong! No one EVER has the right to control what happens to a woman’s body except for that said woman. EVER. I don’t care what you’re personal belief is, the only absolutely wrong thing to do is to take away another person’s right to believe what they want to believe, and choose whether or not to have an abortion. It’s just wrong.

@KC, right on! that’s a great idea.

As a convert to the pro choice movement, antichoicers are just plain backwards and hypocritical.

I’m actually planning to do some serious investigating at my local CPC’s. They have started advertising at my school and are even bussing girls to a CPC once a week for “free pregnancy tests” and “counseling”. I want to pose as a scared girl who thinks she’s pregnant and find out how they treat me at various clinics and document each experience. I think the more we expose them the better.

I understand that pro-life people who end up pregnant have a right to care in an environment where they feel supported in their beliefs, but passing these off to unsuspecting pregnant women who might be better off getting an abortion as unbiased centers is unacceptable and immoral.

This is dangerous. There aren’t too many of these clinics in Australia (where I live, or at least not that I’m aware of) but I’ve followed what is going on with these clinics in the states for a while now and it really disturbs me. I remember reading an article about it a while ago (wish I could remember the title or where it came from!) and the journalist mentioned how none of the people who worked there are registered medical professionals, yet they all wore “doctors’ coats” and nurses’ outfits to give an impression of knowledge and neutrality. Giving Hope? Bullsh*t. All these centres give is guilt and shame and a false sense of righteousness to those involved.

Actually someone fact-checked these stats. For the first, it came from a study saying 93% of teens are interested in abstinence as a choice. They completely changed around the meaning. For the second, the source the organization cited doesn’t have that statistic anywhere. They made it up.

Hmmm.
I attend a catholic high school.
I’m going on the pro life march.
Yet im a feminist.
Actually im not going cause im pro life. I’m not. And im not going cause im a hypocrite either, I just think that we should all see whats out there. I think its are obligation as feminists to think why such catholic organizations are like this, and use this to strengthen our beliefs
