This one: http://www.prochoice.com/

Mainly because it's so misleading, and, as a consequence, able to hurt so many women.

Just look at this page: http://prochoice.com/abort_what.html

I mean you go here, looking at your options, expecting something pro-choice (because yes, that IS the terminology we use today), probably already in a delicate and sensitive state, and then you see that?

Bah it pisses me off... and has for the past year. -_-

And on a completely unrelated note, college is awesome. Can't go into much detail right now since I'm in the middle of Chem and it's almost midnight, but needless to say I'm having a blast.

Night, mates!

Oook, that just completely contradicts the whole website. Wtf?? It's like the site is talking people out of abortion by telling them they're killing their friggin baby. Way to bring on the guilt! O_o I think they seriously need to fix that whole site and just make it so people who are pro-choice actually support it. Right now, I wouldn't support that site. It feels like it's the opposite of pro-choice!

Whateverrrr.

Glad you like college though :)

Haha, that's how I reacted. The website certainly seems as thought the Pro-Lifers bought up the web domain name ages ago and are using it for their own ends.

I'm pretty sure it is a pro-life website masquerading as pro-choice just long enough to cause some damage.

Bah. @_@

Thank ye. ^.^ I am too. Though I still need to get up to MA and visit...

I think they're trying to inform women as to exactly what choice they're making. Not enough women know exactly what abortion is. Probably saving lots of women the depression and sadness many women who abort go through. Not to mention saving the lives of the unborn ;-)

I'm sorry it bothers you :-( *hugs*

Happy college!

I'm sure they are too, but they just go about it in far too deceptive a way. Defining abortion is one thing, but there's a line that they cross here.

There's a difference between
"Abortion is human intervention that does not allow a developing child to be born.
It is the death of another less developed human being. "

and this

"(Above not ready for the outdoors but happy where he or she is)
Imagine feeling safe and the next moment someone is killing you and you can't get away or cry for help."

I'm just imagining some poor girl, already in a fragile state, examining her options, thinking this is actually a "prochoice" website, thinking she'll get a relatively unbiased list of her options (it's not like pro-choicers want every pregnancy to be aborted; they just want the option there)... and then reading that.

Now that is a way to give someone anxiety/depression/suicidal tendencies.

If they at least put SOMEWHERE on the main page of the website that they were pro-life, I wouldn't have as much of a problem, but they don't. It's purposefully misleading.

I honestly respect the intent and pro-life beliefs. What I don't respect is how that particular website goes about espousing those beliefs.

*Hugs back* Yay hugs!!! ^___^

Happy college to you too! Want I go get my blowtorch and go after your math prof, though? Cuz I could... >.> <.
