An anonymous Planned Parenthood worker called in to a Christian radio show<\/a> asking if God could ever forgive her for working in an abortion facility. The radio show host, Dr. Michael Brown, assured her that God would forgive her but urged her to immediately quit her job.<\/p>\n

One of the things the Planned Parenthood employee spoke to Brown about was the type of \u201ccounseling\u201d women received at her facility. She said:<\/p>\n

We have a process before [women are] even taken back to see a physician where we go over options, but it\u2019s just very quick, like, you know your options are\u2026 To carry the fetus to term, give it for adoption, or have an abortion. Are you sure about your decision? That\u2019s the extent that it goes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Legally, the facility must ask women if they want to see an ultrasound. Some women refuse to look. Others do, and decide against abortion. But because they leave with their problems unaddressed, they often come back later. They may be poor, abandoned by their boyfriends or families, unable to find a place to live, alone, and frightened of the future. Planned Parenthood does nothing to help the woman when she decides to carry to term. They only do abortions. Women who choose against abortion are pushed out the door. They are on their own.<\/p>\n

Pregnancy resource centers, on the other hand, work to address the problems in the pregnant woman\u2019s life. They provide everything from housing to baby items to free diapers and maternity clothes, to referrals for medical care. They walk with the woman through her pregnancy and help her as best they can with all her needs.<\/p>\n

Not only does Planned Parenthood not help women who choose against abortion, staff refuse to send them to people who can<\/em> help. The Planned Parenthood worker says:<\/p>\n

But I feel that they should spend more time going over options and maybe giving out pamphlets, because we have a lot of local people that will help, a lot of pro-life people. We have protesters and things like that and I know the term \u201cprotester\u201d sounds negative but our protesters are actually really nice people \u2013 I buy them hot chocolate. They\u2019re not bad people and they\u2019re willing to tell them where things are, but we just brush it over.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even though help is right outside the facility, women leave without being able to access any of the services and support pro-lifers can offer.<\/p>\n

Also, the Planned Parenthood worker paints a very different picture of pro-lifers than pro-choice organizations often do. These protesters are not yelling at women or calling them murderers. They are nice to the abortion workers and are there to offer women support.<\/p>\n

The Planned Parenthood worker goes on to talk more about the \u201ccounseling\u201d:<\/p>\n

Some women come in, and they say they\u2019re not sure and it\u2019s almost like sometimes, not all the time, sometimes some doctors will almost push for them to get the abortion. And they\u2019ll say well ultimately it\u2019s your decision, but they put too much emphasis on the positive effects of the abortion. Like, you\u2019ll have more time to yourself to maybe make a better decision when you\u2019re older and ready or in a better situation. It\u2019s almost like it\u2019s pushed for. And it\u2019s, it\u2019s almost glorified \u2013 it\u2019s sick.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She offers a reason why Planned Parenthood \u201cpushes\u2019 for abortion:<\/p>\n

Honestly it [abortion] is what brings in the money. There\u2019s thousands a day that we do. We don\u2019t do it every day, there\u2019s just certain days of the week. But it\u2019s very lucrative. It\u2019s very lucrative. In one day I could buy a car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Planned Parenthood worker\u2019s depiction of the \u201ccounseling\u201d women receive has been substantiated by many women who went to Planned Parenthood considering abortion.<\/p>\n

A woman named Patti M.\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0Planned Parenthood told her that her baby was \u201cjust tissue.\u201d<\/p>\n
