Where are all the abortion mills in Maryland? No one knows the answer to that question with any certainty. State officials have been\u00a0checking the yellow pages<\/a> for possible listings as Maryland begins to consider, for the first time ever, adopting\u00a0regulations<\/a>\u00a0requiring the state’s abortion mills to operate under the\u00a0same standards<\/a>\u00a0as other outpatient surgical facilities.\u00a0At least one woman has died<\/a> and others harmed in Maryland’s shadowy abortion industry.<\/p>\n

\"\"Clinic regulations would certainly be a positive development for women’s health, even though such laws do nothing to address the killing of\u00a0innocent babies in the womb<\/a>.\u00a0The pro-life movement has always led the way in making sure that abortion clinics are as safe as possible for women. Live Action’s investigations<\/a> are an important example of the commitment to safety for women and girls that is shared by all in the pro-life movement.<\/p>\n

The life of the mother and the life of the child are both precious and should be protected by law, but sadly, the pro-abortion group NARAL Pro-Choice America<\/a> continually stands with the abortion mills, some of which are operated by Planned Parenthood<\/a>. For years, despite the fact that women were being gravely harmed<\/a> by Maryland abortionists, NARAL has given the State of Maryland a Grade A rating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the pro-life movement shows leadership in working to defend the right to life of both woman and child, NARAL has been satisfied<\/a> with protecting the interests of the abortion mills whenever and wherever possible. Though\u00a0claiming<\/a> “we will always have to fight to keep abortion safe and legal”, provisions for the safety of women are not to be found on the list of Maryland law<\/a>s offered as the basis for the state’s\u00a0Grade A rating<\/a>. Even as women were being brutalized over the last two decades<\/a> in Maryland’s abortion mills, NARAL has held Maryland in high honor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood, which\u00a0killed over 6000 babies<\/a> in Maryland last year alone ranks among those who\u00a0do not share<\/a> the\u00a0Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s concern about maternal harm. Here’s what Muriel Thompson, a Planned Parenthood spokesperson, had to say<\/a>\u00a0in response to the news that Maryland would finally be considering regulations to protect women from incompetence in abortion mills.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always concern that efforts are being made, not because people believe it\u2019s not a safe procedure, but only because they want to see abortion access cut,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pro-life efforts to protect women are clearly considered by Planned Parenthood to be a threat to their activities. They would have us just “believe” that Maryland’s abortion mills are safe for women, despite troubling evidence<\/a> to the contrary.\u00a0Planned Parenthood is relying on public ignorance, as they always have, in order that they may continue the slaughter of the innocent. The role of the pro-life advocate is to shine the light of truth<\/a>, in Maryland and across the country, to defend the life and dignity of both women and their children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
