That\u2019s it? That\u2019s the description Planned Parenthood provides of \u201cwhat happens during an in-clinic abortion?\u201d To be clear, this explanation is provided for the section on an aspiration abortion. Yet the same description (or lack thereof) is used to describe the process for performing a D&amp;E, or dilation and evacuation.<\/p>\n<p>Am I the only one who notices something missing? And not the sort of missing where you find yourself thinking, \u201cI wonder why they didn\u2019t mention that,\u201d but a glaring, head-scratching, obviously purposeful omission? Where is the discussion of the baby? Where is the explanation of \u201cwhat happens\u201d to the baby \u201cduring an in-clinic abortion\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>This sort of misdirection is exactly what Planned Parenthood relies on to keep women coming into its clinics for abortions. Imagine how the number of abortions would plummet if Planned Parenthood told women:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Matthews continues by offering a more comprehensive sample of language that Planned Parenthood could use in place of their current, misleading language. Read it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2011\/07\/08\/planned-parenthood-abortion-methods-page-ignores-the-baby\/\" target=\"_blank\">for yourself<\/a>. Now all that is left is for us to continue sharing the truth about Planned Parenthood, since they won&#8217;t share the truth themselves.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pro-life advocates must continue the work of exposing Planned Parenthood, providing women with factual information about fetal development and especially electing pro-life leaders to office, whether at the state or federal level.
