I'm a lifelong supporter of NARAL Pro-Choice America. Recently they've been targeting false crisis pregnancy centers around the country. The film 12th and Delaware premiered on HBO last night, which covered what typical activities occur in the facilities. The film touched everything the crisis pregnancy centers had been reported doing, 100% of that being, LYING.
Here is just some of the bullshit a crisis pregnancy center would be feeding you:
Condoms are not effective at preventing pregnancy and disease.
Abortion causes breast cancer.
The birth-control pill, emergency contraception, and other forms of hormonal contraception cause abortion.
Abortion causes dangerous and life-threatening psychological side effects.
(via NARAL)
The film, unlike many other shows and movies that touch the issue, actually covered the other side this time and showed the situations for what they really are. A crisis pregnancy center will typically want to appear neutral on the issue of abortion, maybe even open to it as an option, when it's been proven that the only thing they've got to make abortion look bad is with lies. It also doesn't take much logic to see how abortion causing breast cancer, or birth-control being an abortion bill, is a load of crap in itself.
The argument that abortion causes breast cancer is, simply put, untrue.
The argument that condoms don't prevent pregnancy and diseases are highly illogical, and UNTRUE.
A woman will not seek an abortion if she takes proper contraceptives, this including the birth-control bill.
Hormonal forms of birth control, including emergency contraception, work before implantation occurs, so they do not cause abortion
Who are the people who will preach this to abortion seekers? Biased, anti-choice organizations who don't know the first thing about science. The film opened my eyes more to the other side of the argument... not only are their claims based on personal, religious belief, but all these claims on why a woman should not receive an abortion are untrue. Interesting how us "baby killers" are the dirty, lying murderers.
