Yes, that became the new strategy in the past decade for "crisis pregnancy centers" purposely erected near "abortion clinics", with the goal (expressed in writing in the manuals) to confuse pregnant women looking for an abortion...they pretended to be able to provide an abortion, with all sorts of "counseling" on what would happen, the process, bloody pictures of aborted late stage fetuses. Multiple visits.. But when they discovered that pretending to be an actual medical clinic doing the procedures, everyone dressed medically, and using free sonograms to entice women, they found that they could delay decisions, including past the point of legality...oops. With zero regard for the life or health or emotional wellbeing of the mother...no actual healthcare provided, often no actually trained physicians...just a ruse.old salt wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 5:39 pmMillions of people are young enough not to have been influenced by the history in that article.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 5:35 pmRead the article, these are facts I'm citing.old salt wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 5:12 pmFacts, not code words.

And what do you think "intact 2 parent families" is code for? Race.
Do you really think that people who oppose unrestricred abortion, or see the value in promoting intact 2 parent families, are motivated by race.
If that were the case, they'd celebrate abortion as a useful tool in limiting the size of the black population, & the high % of single parent households as an effective tool in limiting black upward mobility.
An historical reality that is quite uncomfortable, I know.
I definitely don't speak for anyone but myself, much less "millions of people of faith".
As I said, I'm confident that many evangelicals sincerely believe what they believe...based upon what has been preached to them. I have great respect for 'faith' but zippo respect for the con artists who manipulate good people using their basest instincts.
The political merging with the pulpit has been massively successful enriching con artists and grifters, both for direct profit or for power. Often both.
But let's note, there are large groups of evangelicals, and I'm not just talking about black evangelicals in America, who reject the extremism and exclusion being promulgated by the "conservative" grifters. They care about these issues too, just way differently.
Tech advances, showing life in the womb, have had a huge influence.
It's a disgusting practice.
