Abortionists Ignore Real Needs of Women
They do not touch on the root causes that drive women to abortion
clinics.
Abortion businesses speak in a compassionate-sounding way about women
who are "driven" to abortion — by the loss of a job, lack of health
care, low income or lack of support from the father of the child — but
they do nothing to address the root causes that lead these women to
think abortion is their only option.
Several news reports have documented the rise in abortions as the
economy has soured.
Paula Gianino, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis
Region, said the recession clearly was a factor behind the rising
abortion numbers late last year at the six clinics she oversees,
Newsday reported.
Planned Parenthood of Illinois said that in January it performed the
highest number of abortions in its history, according to the Chicago
Tribune.
Feminists for Life (FFL) believes women deserve better.
"Abortion providers have failed to connect women to the help they need
and want," FFL President Serrin Foster wrote to supporters. "We mourn
with these women, and for the children they will never meet."
Foster said abortion doesn't solve any real problems.
"These women still face the same economic strife," she said. "They (go)
back to work for the same employers who didn't accommodate their needs.
They (go) home to the same husbands or partners who wouldn't or
couldn't provide the support they needed and deserved."
Foster said abortionists talk about women who are poor and in need of
prenatal care, but life advocates can provide real help.
"You and I can tell women in need that pregnancy resource centers help
lead women through the maze of available resources," she said.
