Some, of course, have religious objections and consider it a major sin. Others don’t want to be stuck with an unwanted pregnancy. Not going to be a subject where you get a lot of agreement. The laws and rules are different all over the country, sometimes by cities and counties, and sometimes by public opinion. Sometimes it’s a major local battleground. When the talk goes to what’s legal and what isn’t, one county may be different from the one just over the hill. Very complicated subject.
Also one that doesn’t get talked about much until someone that really does not want a baby has to figure out what do do about a surprise pregnancy. The news stories, of course, are more about what the journalist thinks is fair or unfair. And the woman who thinks she may be pregnant is desperate to figure out what to do about it, if anything. There are strict legal repercussions about what one can or cannot do and where and when. It seems to be an issue that comes up fairly frequently, unsurprisingly, but doesn’t offer much help or advice. One would think that there would be frequent articles about how to prevent a pregnancy, best methods aside from just abstaining, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Odd conundrum.

The issue should be why we allow a billion dollar a year industry to prey on vulnerable females? Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers have an inherent conflict of interest running “women’s health services” that funnel clients to their in-house abortion service. One stop shopping is a convenience that inherently limits a full evaluation of choices.
The so called provided pregnancy counseling gives scant review of a female’s (teen or adult) actual options to deal with an unplanned for pregnancy. Just as to a hammer, everything is a nail, to an abortion provider every pregnancy is to be terminated.
It should be illegal to for an abortion provider to be allowed to offer “family counseling” while they have a vested financial interest in the outcome. In finance, anyone who gives advice has a legally binding fiduciary trust to uphold, meaning they are legally required to tell their client if the advice given coincidentally benefits the advisor via full disclosure. Furthermore, advisor must disclose any downside risk.
Do you honestly believe Planned Parenthood is disclosing all the risks of an abortion both physically and mentally?
