"Abortion Alternative" is Deceit?

It seems that while the House of Representatives may only be meeting for 97 (or 123) days, they still have way too much time on their hands. Rep. Carolyn Mulroney has introduced a bill to "Protect" women seeking family planning from seeking such advice at "Abortion Alternative" Family Planning Clinics.

Protection from alternatives?  Let's get real for a second.  Women seeking abortion are not seeking help in Family planning, they are seeking help in avoiding Family Planning.  Because Abortion is the ultimate family stopper (given a family being defined as parents and children, not just parents).

So why do they have to pass a law against clinics that counsel alternatives?  If a women goes to one, after reading they are promoting "Alternatives" to abortion, she is probably aware they are not going to push her into having an abortion.  That is not deceit.  That is just plain advertising!

Or is it the moniker of "Family Planning" that must now include the option of Abortion?  I thought this was all about choice?  If indeed it is about choice, then why are they trying to make abortion the only mandatory choice?  That is not choice, that is Political Correctness gone amok!

None of these 'so called' deceitful clinics are preventing any single woman from getting an abortion.  They are merely presenting alternatives for the woman willing to listen.  Last I checked, they were not holding these women against their will, or slipping them a mickey until the baby is born to prevent an abortion.  And that is deceitful?

Spitzer, the over eager AG of New York has already gone after these clinics 4 years ago, only to be severely embarrassed and then withdrew his suit with his tail tucked between his legs.  Now, what the abortion activists cannot do legally, they are trying to make legal. 

Which is a sham and sad.  Sad that Choice does not stand for choice, unless the choice is abortion.

Over the top on this one: family planning is as a rule for those who already have children--perhaps too many?

I would like to see stats on that, because I sincerely doubt it.  IN any event, family planning does not equal abortion.  IN any stretch of the imagination.

It is about choice, as long as your choice is their choice.

Unfortunately, that is what the Pro Choice side has become.
