Hypocrisy at its best.

If they're so concerned about false advertising, why aren't they going after the National Abortion Federation for promising safety, but providing referrals to potentially deadly quacks?

Why do they have this attitude that it's better to be killed by a prochoicer than annoyed by a prolifer?

Raquel, your "abortion is not a disease" comment reminds me of an argument I've been making recently about abortion.

We now live in a society where abortions are some kind of cosmetic surgery or removal of a cancer.

If you have a tumor, your doctor recommends you get it removed. If it's cancer, you most certainly get it removed.
An embryo or fetus is not a tumor. It is a life form. To suddenly think of it as some disease in the body is very immoral and inhuman.

The website, Overheard in New York has some sad entries of overheard conversations of young women in New York discussing abortions like it's the flu and a doctor will simply prescribe you something to get rid of it. It's a promotion of irresponsibility. A person is not responsible for her lack of protecting herself from getting pregnant.

I agree with you Dan 98% and I'll get to the 2% in a minute.

While prescribed medication will usually soothe an illness, abortion aftereffects can be devastating. The problem here is that women are not informed. They may talk about abortion like it's nothing, but most often they don't know. That is why informed consent laws are so important. Abortionists get a free ride. No scrutiny, no lawsuits, no penalties. Just another example of how outrageous Carolyn Maloney is for not supporting informed consent laws instead she goes after Crisis Pregnancy Centers like Expectant Mother's Care, who, with 16 NYC locations help over 4,000 women a year. Maloney is only touting to her liberal base, I guess, or out-right getting paid off.

Talking carelessly about abortion doesn't really promote irresponsibility, because most women, no matter what's overheard, do not use abortion as some sort of birth control. They resort to abortion after using defective birth control methods. In fact chemical contraception can act as powerful abortifacient drugs. For example, the birth control pill has two components, one to control ovulation (prevention), and one to break-down the uterine wall, so that if conception does take place the unborn child or fetus cannot attach itself to their mother's womb, and aborts itself (abortifacient).

Natural Family Planning is a healthy and effective way to prevent pregnancy without the need to abort. But my honest advice (no matter how archiac you may think it is) to women is to save sex for marriage, it means more then.

Looks like the ACLU is backing off their support for Carolyn Maloney's bill, as reported in the New York Sun today, any references to Maloney's bill have been removed from the ACLU website. Apparently there is is some in-house disagreement over freedom of speech.
