Why are we letting right-wingers get away with calling it an "abortion clinic"???

[lastlib]

Planned Parenthood operates [font size=10]HEALTH clinics[/font size], for f**k's sake!!! They DO NOT have the right to just make up names that suit THEIR purposes! We've got to call them out on it.

1. They are an abortion provider. And that's not a bad thing.

Abortion is a legal, moral and positive choice that liberates women, saves lives, and protects families.

6. Abortion saves lives--women's lives. Women's lives matter. nt

7. Are hospitals that provide abortions called abortion hospitals?

Planned Parenthood provides health care for women. Not all Planned Parenthood clinics provide abortions but some do.

All are properly designated as women's health clinics.

8. Almost none do in the US thanks to the threats and violence.

2. We are not letting them do anything, they OWN the mass media fer crying out loud!

Let me know when you buy a few news corporations so we can get our message out there.

3. That's like calling a gas station

A liquor store, or a bar being called a casino because of KINO

4. You are absolutely right!

9. Planned Parenthood helped my family hook up with a midwife's guild

who delivered my son at home

10. I used Planned Parenthood for prenatal care

with my home deliveries, too. i couldn't find a "regular" gynecologist who would care for me once they found out I wasn't going to the hospital.

And three cheers for the midwives of the world.

11. communications person for Emily's List on MSNBC this morning also did so.

She corrected herself the second time but then said it again. I don't know what she was thinking.
