Why the anti-choice crowd will always be anti-choice: $$$$ and white babes [View All]

[Maddy McCall]

Yep, that's right. Here's how it works. Many anti-choice groups are tied to "Christian Crisis Pregnancy Centers." They protest at clinics three days a week, where they hand out literature that tells young women that they will be murderers if they have the abortion, and they give the girls another number to call--their Crisis Pregnancy Centers.

Many young women are victims of guilt promulgated by the right's proselytizing that aborts are murder, and that women who have abortions have PTSD and eventually get breast cancer because of their abortion. So the young women call the Crisis Pregnancy Center, where they are promised support during their pregnancy, and a loving family to adopt the little blue-eyed baby when it's born. Do these girls receive any kind of advice on contraceptive use? Hell no. Do they receive help if they decide to keep their babies? Usually not, and they are usually directed away from keeping their babies. That would defeat the whole purpose of the Crisis Pregnancy Center. Gotta have babies for adoptions.

The money? It comes from donations given to these Crisis Pregnancy Centers by couples desperate for a little white baby. If there are no more babies coming in, then there will be no more donations coming in.

So, if anyone at DU thinks that the anti-choice folks are going to weaken their assault on women's rights by adopting a pro-contraception stance, well, it just ain't gonna happen.
