Yet an extensive network of volunteer-operated pregnancy resource centers offering counseling, classes, material assistance and communities for mothers in crisis pregnancy would say otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Choice42 recently released a hilarious satirical video about just that. Previously, Choice42, led by Laura Klassen, released the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/team-pro-life-birth-canal\/\">Magical Birth Canal<\/a>\u201d video that went viral. Their latest video, entitled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eGmYfd6gZ8A\">Extremists BREAK IN to Fake Clinic<\/a>,\u201d has the same comedic tone, understated sarcasm, and funny-because-it\u2019s-true genius.

They are seen picking the lock of the pregnancy center and unloading boxes upon boxes of diapers into the center&#8217;s waiting room. Their plot, Klassen\u2019s character explains, is to fill the pregnancy resource center with so many diapers that clients won\u2019t be able to fit through the door.<\/p>\n<p>With a look of smug satisfaction, she says, \u201cSo tomorrow, when the doors open, and women show up to take stuff for free, no one\u2019s even gonna be able to get in because this fake clinic is so full of free stuff.\u201d Giving her accomplice a triumphant high-five, she proclaims, \u201cAnti-choice win!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-lifers-transformed-activists\/\">READ: <em>In one brief moment, these pro-lifers were transformed into pro-life activists<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The video is a spot-on satire of abortion supporters\u2019 misrepresentation of pro-lifers and pregnancy resource centers, which they call \u201cfake clinics.\u201d While pregnancy resource centers offer women a wide range of resources to make the best decision for themselves and their preborn babies, abortion facilities offer primarily one thing: abortion.<\/p>\n<p>While Choice42 (pronounced \u201cChoice for two\u201d) is shining a comedic light on the tremendous resources available to women through pregnancy resource centers, it is using its viral content to grow an online presence with the main goal of connecting women with their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.choice42.com\/resources\/\">extensive database<\/a>\u00a0of pregnancy resource centers and help for post-abortion healing across Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been publicly pro-life in any capacity, you\u2019ve probably heard some version of the myth that pro-lifers only care about babies before they are born and do nothing to help moms and babies after birth.
