Pro-abortion feminist Sarah Mirk went undercover to a pro-life crisis pregnancy center that helps pregnant women. Mirk says:
“The consultation went differently than I thought it would. The counselor wasn’t a Bible beating hell raiser. She didn’t snipe or snarl as she asked me a list of questions about my religious preference and relationship status. Instead, she seemed like a regular woman, a compassionate just past middle-aged woman from a different background than me, dressed a little conservatively.
Maybe, if I’d been born 40 years earlier, to different parents, in a different state, I would’ve wound up in her chair trying to be honest and conservative, rather than critical and liberal.
I told her I didn’t think I was ready to bear my imaginary child, and she nodded kindly.
“This is a major decision,” she said. “The choice is permanent.”
I wasn’t expecting such a balanced response from an organization whose stated mission is “making a life-changing difference in the lives of our unborn.”
At the end of our 10 minute conversation, the counselor wished me well and handed me a fat stack of pamphlets …. Sorting through the glossy flyers and booklets was horrifying. They were antiabortion propaganda… chock full of gory fetus pictures, anguished stories about women who got abortions, and praising, heroic tales of women who decided to keep their children.”

If the “gory” fetus pictures (like these) and stories (like these) are true, is it really “horrifying” to share them? Shouldn’t women be able to learn the truth before they submit to surgery? Does she really think she will get a thorough and unbiased material from abortion clinics? If you think so, go here.
