A fetus becomes a baby at birth? Having an abortion is safer than having a baby? There’s no heart beat at 10 weeks? A 10-week fetus is about as big as a fingernail?
According to these Planned Parenthood employees, that’s all true.

Andrea adds: Seems to me it is almost impossible to offer the abortion choice and tell the truth. Because the science is pretty clear on that stuff, heart beat, etc. and mothers are also pretty clear on what they are doing. Ie. they know if they wait too long (pretend there were a wait list for abortions) they’ll end up with a baby in their hands. So it becomes the job of the “choice counsellor” to make a girl be comfortable with the decision to abort. Which is actually a form of influence, which is what we see here in this clip. Repeating multiple times “it’s not a baby” is meant to instill in that mother that she isn’t one, instead of saying “There’s no undo button” and how can we help you where you are at? How can we make this more comfortable? What can we offer you? Do you need protection from an older boyfriend? What do you need? These are the questions abortion clinics can’t ask. And my feeling is people rarely do ask those questions these days because they don’t want to “influence” but by not asking them, they are influencing a girl toward abortion. If you only have one choice, you don’t have a choice at all.

Planned Parenthood clinics are not showing much in the way of brains. If I ran a business that had multiple YouTube videos showing inside workings that are questionable, I would be on alert to spot Lila Rose when she arrives, no matter what her disguise. How come these folks are getting caught off guard all the time?

Shall we place bets on how long before Google takes this video off of youtube?
I’ll go with three weeks.

Good for Lila Rose and all the work she has been doing.
I wish I could say I was surprised by the video. Isn’t it amazing that there is such a focus on sex ed being as explicit as possible at an extremely young age, however there is accompanying focus on explaining as expolicitment as possible how a human being is created and the various stages of development.
I had to take child development courses in university as part of my degree and that is what turned me prolife. It was pure scientific discovery.

“Having an abortion is safer than having a baby?”
I looked this one up a while ago. I couldn’t find any clear conclusion in the third trimester, but in the first and second it’s true. Abortion isn’t perfectly safe, but nor is pregnancy – it’s extremally demanding, and there is a great deal that can go wrong. The chance of a pregnancy leading to death is greater than the chance of a first or second trimester abortion leading to death.
I don’t have the numbers on me now, but I used US statistics. Couldn’t find any reliable numbers on the third trimester.

Laying in bed and eating chalupas is probably safer than visiting my grandma. Doesn’t mean much.
