September 28, 2009: Michele Walk, Membership Director, argues in The Politicizer that abortion and Planned Parenthood are anti-women.
Excerpt:
…Knowledge of the destructive side-effects [of abortion] are suppressed by pro-choice organizations, and the after effects of abortion are much graver than the pro-choice community would like us to believe. Women have the right to know about the negative consequences of abortion.
In the 1970s, abortion was presented by women’s advocates as a right and as something that would help women’s lives. Now, almost forty years after Roe vs. Wade, there is a mounting body of evidence suggests that not only does abortion hurt the baby, it often hurts the woman for years to come. There is a growing chorus of women who are speaking out about the effects of abortion. Organizations such as Silent No More, Operation Outcry and Feminists for Life provide resources for women and give them a forum to express the difficulties they have had in their lives after they had their abortions. At least half of women who have abortions regret them, and this is not to even mention the effect on men, who are beginning to tell their stories of how they “regret [their] lost fatherhood.”
