Fake Pregnancy Crisis Centers
Posted: 04-23-06 08:52am

These are apparently the new fetish of baby-humpers. I recently read an account of a teenage girl who fell victim to these crazy .E.D.I.T.. The girl went to what she thought was a planned parenthood clinic to find out about getting an abortion, but she ended up walking into a fake pregnancy crisis center. Doctors told her to come back at a later time to have the procedure done. When she went back, the police were standing outside the real planned parenthood - someone had reported that a minor was being forced to have an abortion. Bet we can all guess who the "someone" was.


It didn't end there for this poor girl. The fundie clinic used the girl's information to find out where her high school is, and the pro-life retards decided to have a pro-life "save the babies" campaign at her school. To top it all off, they mentioned the girl in question by name and asked all the people who knew her to beg her not to have an abortion. I don't know if the girl ever got an abortion.


I wish the pro-lifers would mind their own business for once. Can they not keep their noses out of the lives of others? What these people did to that girl is just wrong, and it can't be legal. The worst part is that over $60 million has gone into funding these fake clinics; that money could go to real crisis pregnancy centers since the real clinics actually help women.


Has anyone else heard of these fake pregnancy crisis centers? It sickens me to think that people stoop this low. Then again, it's the fundie pro-lifers in question...They have a tendancy of reaching new lows all the time and don't care whose life they ruin with their mindless attitudes and actions.

$250.00 is nothing compared to what it cost to keep this place opened and running what if this girl truly has mental problems to the point of she does need professional help, do you think that would honestly help her?
I am pro-choice but I am a firm believer that their are some girls out their that do need some serious counseling!

$250k is actually $250,000.00, not $250.00... But still. The girl in the story didn't sound like she needed mental help but they didn't really mention that, from what I can tell.

Oooops I misread it, I did not see the k, my bad! If she does need mental help hope she gets it. I believe what cambion says, it is not right and the pro-life should mind their own business, it almost sounds like a set up to me, she should have a choice and talk to her parents, how the heck will she raise 250k, she might kill herself in shame or try to abort herself. Kind of idiotic , I think!
I wish her luck!

There are a lot of those around!

Unfortunately it happens, the best thing we can do is just keep awareness up..

hummmmm... The fine would go to the fake medical center violating the patient's privacy rights. Not the patient.


in other words sandy, the girl would be the one getting the money, and the fake crisis center would be the one paying it to her for their gross impersenation.

Yes , because what about her privacy rights and her abortion, I do realize that some states in the .U.S.A a minor can get an abortion, what about .Canada and .England. Even though I do realize that their should be some adult there but their are too many adults that do not understand. Yes, they can die during abortion but they can also die along with the baby giving birth because a lot of the minors bodies are not ready to give birth.

if this story is true, then the female in question should report that her privacy rights were violated by this medical center. A nice $250k fine should teach them a lesson well deserved.
the problem is that these places are not actually "medical centers" and therefore do not fall under the same laws as actual health centers. They exist solely to try and sway women not to choose an abortion through a variety of different means.

When I was 19, a sophmore in college, and living with a handful of people in a rundown trailer house, I became a week late and started freaking out. Because I couldn't even afford the food I ate (the bakery I worked for let me take my pick of day old stuff at the end of the night), I couldn't afford a pregnancy test either. I went to a "pregnancy assistance center" who offered, "free, confidential pregnancy tests."

when I got there, I had an immediate disagreement with the people at the front desk. They wanted my license and I told them that not only seeing but also making a copy of my license meant that my visit there was not confidential. In the end I relented and gave them my license. I was taken to a bathroom in the back and told to pee in the cup. After that, I was taken to a small lavender room with a worn sofa and asked to wait. I waited for 45 minutes before an older woman in a white lab coat entered the room with a clipboard. She sat down next to me and immediately asked me, "if your test results come back positive for a pregnancy, what do you think you will do?"

i told her, "can I have the results first and then make up my mind?"

"you mean you haven't thought about it?" she asked condescendingly.

:roll: "i'm 19, a sophmore in college, work for minimum wage...I'd have an abortion."

wrong answer. She told me that abortion was wrong and that I was, based on her morals, obligated to carry the pregnancy against my will and wishes. She also asked me how my parents would feel if they knew I had "killed their grandchild" and I told her that my mother was prochoice and would commend me for making a responsible decision. She told me that abortion causes breast cancer, depression, and even hinted that it was strongly suggested that women who abort become alcoholic or promiscuous. She had me watch a movie about fetal development. She wanted me to pray with her which I first refused to do telling her that I was buddhist. After about 30-35 minutes of this, she finally gave me my test results.

Negative.

That was what actually inspired me to start volunteering for planned parenthood.

God bless you sister!! What happened to you was what is evil!

I'm an atheist but if there is a god then I sure hope that he punishes the horrible people that are destroying lives in his name!!

I never thought about volunteering at a p.P. Before but that does sound like a great idea.

Most of my family is pro-choice and the rest just haven't made up their minds either way so the only concern I would get from them is about the retarded bomb-chuckers...

I see these neighborhoods here in chicago that are just over flowing with the poverty stricken... I see the ignorant walking down the street with more baby's then I had thought possible for any animal above cats to have! I see so many of my friends/acquaintances from high school popping them out like sweet tarts and it just disgusts me!

I totally agree with that cheesy bumper sticker... Can't feed'um? Don't breed'um!

If anything should happen it is that the general public will finally get the real information on the morning after pill (1.888.Not2lat or something like that) so there would be less accidental pregnancies, and therefore less abortions!

The protesters are working against themselves by twisting the information around and calling it the "abortion pill".

Sheesh...I gotta go before I get too angry... These people make me physically ill...

But good on you! Keep up the good work girl!
