One clinic administrator complained about a law that would allow women to sue clinics where they were injured (physically or emotionally) within 10 years of their abortions. The law, vigeously fought by pro-choicers, (who seem to care little for women who are injured in abortions) was defeated, then later passed. Hope Medical Group for Women (abortion clinic) manager Robin Rothrock said, in an article in Mother Jones:
“It was like a really scary movie, when you think the bad guy is dead, and suddenly he rises up and grabs you…There’s no way a physician can perform an abortion with this law on the books. It’s an insane level of exposure.”
Should women injured in abortion, or the families of women killed in abortions, be allowed to sue for damages? Is forbidding them from getting compensation for bad health care anti-woman? Somehow, Mother Jones manages to present idea of injured women seeking justice as a threat to women everywhere. The same article speaks out against abortion clinic regulations. In Louisiana, a news station exposed filthy conditions at Delta Women’s Clinic in Baton Rouge. In response, pro-lifers enacted legislation to require abortion clinics to be inspected and to meet minimum health standards. Mother Jones manages to make excuses for the clinic and advocates against the laws. It quotes a pro-abortion researcher claiming that:
“Having published on every hemorrhaged abortion death in the United States, I can assure you that not a single one was caused by a door width.”
No, but a death could be contributed to by the fact that stretchers can’t get through narrow doors, and lifesaving equipment cannot reach the injured woman.
They say that propaganda is the form of lying that deceives your friends without deceiving your enemies. In this case, Mother Jones serves up some excellent propaganda.
