With abortion, there is no level playing field. The\u00a0U.S.’s\u00a0relaxed abortion laws<\/a> are not only unfair to preborn babies who are denied their equal rights, but also to women who are deceived and taken advantage of by Big Abortion.<\/p>\n

When a\u00a0pregnant woman finds herself in a desperate situation\u00a0(not all that uncommon),\u00a0Planned Parenthood is all too eager to paint legal abortion as an escape. If the baby’s father is abusive towards the mother (or not a long-term partner), she\u00a0may be told that she would be doing her baby a favor by not bringing him or\u00a0her into such a\u00a0situation. In choosing abortion, the woman may be convinced by the abortion clinic that she is “escaping” her situation\u00a0in the short-term, but that doesn’t change the fact that she is allowing\u00a0her baby to\u00a0suffer\u00a0a violent death because of his father’s deficiencies or outright wrongs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s not the baby who is the problem. A child has no say in being conceived, neither does he or she cause a rape or an abusive or ill-timed relationship. The\u00a0baby is a victim of the circumstances, and he or she too often also becomes\u00a0the victim of abortion.<\/p>\n

In November 2015, Live Action News shared the horrific abortion account<\/a> of a young woman “Amanda.” Though\u00a0the procedure was legal and performed at a licensed facility by a licensed abortionist in North Carolina, what Amanda experienced is more reminiscent of an illegal back-alley abortion experience.<\/p>\n

\n

Though Amanda had described herself as \u201cpro-life\u201d she was in an abusive relationship with\u00a0the father of her baby and had\u00a0accused him of rape. An abortion was presented as\u00a0the answer to her problems, and she listened to that advice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It didn’t matter to the abortion facility\u00a0that Amanda was raped. She was just another client, and no compassion was shown to\u00a0her.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLook here, ma\u2019am, you need to shut up before you scare the other women out of the clinic,\u201d said the nurse who was operating the ultrasound machine while holding her down on the table with a firm arm across the torso.\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n

Desperate and without thinking, Amanda grabbed the nurse\u2019s arm in an effort to release some of the pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you ever touch me!\u201d yelled the nurse. Amanda felt humiliated, but the pain didn\u2019t subside.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Even when Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities know about abusive relationships and rapes, they too often fail to report<\/a>. When it comes to statutory rape, Live Action conducted an entire investigation<\/a> and instead of helping these young women, Planned Parenthood – which performs the most abortions in the nation – chose to\u00a0help others skirt the law.<\/p>\n
