So, I’m going to be honest about something:\u00a0\u00a0dead children\u00a0really don’t bring a smile to my face.\u00a0They\u00a0do for some people, though; Tucker Max<\/a> spent a whole chapter of his second book joking about them. He\u00a0called it, \u201cTucker Max: Baby Killer<\/a>,\u201d and in it\u00a0he bragged of having \u201caccumulated enough stories and anecdotes about abortion that they could name a Planned Parenthood clinic after me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood seems to share Max’s\u00a0sense of humor. Recently, Sarah Terzo<\/a> highlighted a story<\/a> from former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson <\/a>in which she\u00a0recalled how her boss once joked\u00a0that Colorado\u2019s Dr. Warren Hern did abortions \u201cso far along they come out crying and looking for their mama.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But all joking\u00a0aside, Johnson still wasn\u2019t comfortable with late-term abortions. When she expressed her feelings, a co-worker replied, \u201cWell, it\u2019s better to kill them before they are put in a dumpster.\u201d Apparently those are your options at America\u2019s largest<\/a> \u201cchoice provider.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another one: if you\u2019re just not ready to raise your son or daughter, then there\u00a0are\u00a0plenty of people who are. And the good news is that they\u2019re not hard to find.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s currently a shortage<\/a> of available infants in America, so some aspiring parents have turned to websites like Adoption.com<\/a> for help. It allows couples who have been approved by a licensed adoption agency to create an online profile<\/a>. They can post pictures and contact details, along with a bio explaining who they are.<\/p>\n

The profiles can be searched by location, religion, family size, and other criteria. You\u2019re free to just browse the site and send a message when a profile catches your eye. Many couples want to make a birth mom part of the child\u2019s life, and some are open to involving biological grandparents as well.<\/p>\n

While Planned Parenthood tries to sell abortion as your only choice, that\u2019s just not accurate. The truth is that you have a lot more options. These families are just a few clicks away, and they would really love to hear from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
