Depressed? Vulnerable? Is pregnancy making you feel that life is over? Advice and Aid Pregnancy Centers will help you regardless of your struggle. You have access to a 24-hour hotline, pregnancy tests, sonograms, peer counseling and STI testing, all free of charge. Advice &amp; Aid Pregnancy Centers is here to support you as you make your decision. Advice &amp; Aid Pregnancy Centers\u2014serving families facing pregnancy before, during and after with compassion.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">That was too much for Planned Parenthood Great Plains and its communications director, Bonyen Lee-Gilmore, who lashed out at the station, 96.5 The Buzz, on social media after hearing the first weekend\u2019s round of ads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Though staff at the radio station who had visited Advice &amp; Aid prior to signing the contract tried to uphold their end of the deal despite pressure from Planned Parenthood, the station caved to the abortion chain\u2019s wishes just one weekend into the six-week deal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cThe two people from the radio station who came here and met with us\u2014they fought for us because they had seen what we do here,\u201d Ruth Tisdale, Advice &amp; Aid\u2019s executive director, said. \u201cThey asked questions and we answered them truthfully. I\u2019m very thankful for them, and it\u2019s sad that it ended this way, but I\u2019m at least thankful those two people know the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The station\u2019s decision to pull the ad came just a month before the same Planned Parenthood office intimidated the Kansas City Royals into <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-demands-that-kansas-city-royals-break-pro-life-advertising-deal\/\">canceling a formal partnership<\/a> with Kansas City-based Vitae Foundation\u2014which helps pregnancy centers reach women facing unexpected pregnancies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In Advice &amp; Aid\u2019s case, Tisdale said representatives from the radio station reached out to her and offered to place her ads on an affiliated conservative station instead of the secular station to which the contract bound them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Tisdale and her board of directors declined. They had purchased the ad campaign because they wanted to reach the alternative music station\u2019s audience, and switching to a conservative radio station wasn\u2019t going to accomplish that goal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In the meantime, a host at 96.5 The Buzz welcomed Lee-Gilmore onto his program and his podcast, where she went on the offensive against Advice &amp; Aid, calling it a fake medical clinic. As one local media report <a href=\"https:\/\/sentinelksmo.org\/planned-parenthood-pressures-96-5-buzz-dropping-advice-aid-advertising\/\">put it<\/a>, \u201c[the] only accurate fact Lee-Gilmore stated was that [Planned Parenthood and Advice &amp; Aid] are next door to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Advice &amp; Aid\u2019s medical director, who signs off on the clinic\u2019s ultrasounds, is a board-certified OB-GYN, a fact\u2014among many\u2014Tisdale was unable to clear up with the station\u2019s listeners, since the station and host ignored her request for airtime in response.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/petition\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-160409\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DefundAd-400b-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cThat was pretty sad for us and we asked, \u2018If you\u2019re not going to run our ads, could you at least let us be on the station and set the record straight?\u2019\u201d Tisdale said. \u201cWe\u2019re not here to talk bad about any other organization, we just want to set the record straight because misinformation is out there about our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Last September, Advice &amp; Aid opened its location next door to a Planned Parenthood that only offers pregnancy tests and abortions. Advice &amp; Aid counters that lack of services with ultrasounds, pregnancy testing, options counseling and STD\/STI testing\u2014all at no charge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">That contrast in services has put Advice &amp; Aid on Planned Parenthood\u2019s map, but more importantly, on the minds of the kind of clients Tisdale and her team were hoping to reach through the radio ad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cEven last week, we had two women share they were going to continue their pregnancies,\u201d Tisdale said. \u201cWe\u2019d been serving them the entire month of May, and both of them kept saying they were going to have an abortion. Apparently we\u2019re making a difference because we\u2019re on Planned Parenthood\u2019s radar screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Earlier this spring, a mother and daughter came into Advice &amp; Aid trying to get a price quote on an abortion to compare with Planned Parenthood\u2019s prices. Tisdale\u2019s staff told the women they don\u2019t perform or refer for abortions, but offered a free ultrasound while they were there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Seeing the baby via ultrasound changed the minds of both the mother and grandmother on the spot, Tisdale said, calling the moment a \u201ctransformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cThat morning, the baby was going to end up one way and a couple hours later, that baby had a different story,\u201d Tisdale said. \u201cThat was awesome. God keeps reminding me: One life at a time, one life at a time. Don\u2019t worry about their parking lot and how many are there, you just keep praying for one at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was originally published by <a href=\"https:\/\/pregnancyhelpnews.com\/k-c-pregnancy-center-draws-clients-fury-from-planned-parenthood-next-door\">Pregnancy Help News<\/a> on June 23, 2017, and is reprinted here with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Pregnancy Help News)\u00a0It\u2019s been over a month since a Kansas City radio station buckled under pressure from Planned Parenthood and yanked a local pregnancy center\u2019s paid ads from off the air.
