By Vanessa • Oct 31, 2014

I completely agree with @Blitz. I'm a woman and I'm pro life. There are many ways that a woman could take control of her life without having an abortion. Adoption is pro woman and pro life. It is pro women who can't reproduce and want children.

I'm a women. But planned parenthood is not pro women if a large part of their business is gained by killing women. Girls who are helpless and can't defend themselves. Is that pro women? To say killing a baby girl is okay just because she's not born yet and therefore helpless?

Since most mof the pro choice women out there are ignorant, I'm sure you wouldn't realize that the women who founded planned parenthood Margaret Sanger was a complete racist who only founded planned parenthood to lessen the population of babies born by African Americans or Hispanics etc... Sangers view on African Americans/immigrants, "human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning human beings who's should've never been born."

You can't even tell the sex of a baby till the second trimester so to say PPH is killing future women, also, a baby isn't always a girl so those earlier comments sound also anti-men. I wish more people would educate themselves and stop associating PPH with just abortions. As for adoption, yes, there are thousands of kids in the system but everyone wants a baby. Do you know preteens are the hardest to adopt out the system? That young african american boys (particularly dark toned boys) are the least adopted.

Just to be clear... I am not advocating for killing fetus'. But it is not charged as murder. It is charged as fetal homicide and carries a very different sentence. Also, each state had their own laws to determine at what stage a fetus is a baby. Some say at conception, others have taken it to the 20 week mark.

I read this so discouraged thinking wow all these women are pro-choice?! And then posing in pictures with their children?! It was encouraging to read a couple other pro-lifer comments. Being a powerful woman doesn't mean shouldn't mean having the power to end their child's life.

Planned Parenthood provides a lot of important services. Even if you don't agree with women who choose to have abortions, you can support Planned Parenthood for giving low cost cancer screenings, well-woman exams, STD testing, birth control, and counseling.
