Why is this <em>eeeeevil<\/em>? Because \u201cevery single facility listed is an anti-abortion advocacy center.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Often called \u201ccrisis pregnancy centers\u201d or CPCs, these centers often lack medically-trained staff and are tied to religious organizations. CPCs are known for attracting women seeking an abortion with their promise of a free ultrasound, but then attempt to convince women out of an abortion by using nonscientific \u201cdata\u201d and thinly-veiled guilt-tripping.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As readers may recall from my <a href=\"\/news\/debunking-narals-lies-about-crisis-pregnancy-centers-part-1\/\">comprehensive defense of CPCs last year<\/a>, not only is the information they provide perfectly defensible, but Zielinski is attempting to use the fact that not all CPCs are medically trained to let readers infer that neither are <em>these<\/em> CPCs.<\/p>\n<p>He does quote a state spokeswoman saying Idaho doesn\u2019t have an ultrasound equipment registry, but Americans United for Life\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aul.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Abortion-7_Pregnancy-Care-Centers.pdf\">contends that CPCs which offer ultrasounds do<\/a>\u00a0have the necessary training and credentials to do so,\u00a0and Project Ultrasound, a nonprofit that raises money to buy ultrasound machines for CPCs,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/projectultrasound.org\/whatwedo.html\">only aids<\/a>\u00a0centers that have or are \u201cin the process of attaining the legal certification to offer ultrasound services in their state.\u201d Further, as we covered <a href=\"\/news\/debunking-narals-lies-about-crisis-pregnancy-centers-part-three\/\">last year<\/a>, NARAL hasn\u2019t produced specific examples of CPCs violating these requirements\u2014only innuendo.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Now, Idaho will help CPCs continue to their one-sided mission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Anti-abortion state lawmakers appeared to applaud the bill specifically for its ability to control women\u2019s decision-making. \u201cThis informs the mother that the \u2018piece of tissue\u2019 inside her has hands, feet, eyes, looks like a baby and has a heartbeat,\u201d said state Rep. Heather Scott.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cGiving women information\u201d sure is a funny definition of \u201ccontrol.\u201d In fact, doesn\u2019t <a href=\"\/news\/rhrcs-lies-show-which-side-of-abortion-debate-has-the-high-ground\/\">telling women lies and denying them true information<\/a>\u2014like steadfastly opposing the option to see an ultrasound before abortion\u2014sound a lot closer to control? Besides, to suggest there\u2019s an obligation to be neutral on <a href=\"\/news\/researchers-abortion-should-be-listed-as-a-major-cause-of-death-in-statistics\/\">embryology vs. embryology denial<\/a> is like saying health providers should have to pretend centuries-old discredited \u201ccures\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcmj.org\/premise\/history-bloodletting\">like bloodletting<\/a> and As-Seen-On-TV miracle drugs are just as valid as modern medications and treatments.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The state agency provides other information on abortion alongside this new list on its website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthandwelfare.idaho.gov\/Portals\/0\/Health\/Statistics\/Misc%20Reports\/Induced%20Abortion%20Summary\/Abortion_Web_12.pdf\">including a link<\/a> to another state law recognizing &#8220;that the medical, emotional and psychological consequences of abortion and childbirth are serious and can be lasting, particularly when the patient is immature.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Which is all true. As Cassy Fiano <a href=\"\/news\/psychological-consequences-abortion\/\">covered<\/a> last year, a July 2013 piece in Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences reviewed literature going back almost twenty years. Most found greater mental harm from abortion than from childbirth or miscarriage, some found no difference, and only one found worse consequences from childbirth. (For more studies linking abortion to suicide, depression, substance abuse, and psychiatric illness, see <a href=\"http:\/\/clinicquotes.com\/psychological-risks-traumatic-aftereffects-of-abortion\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/clinicquotes.com\/women-and-abortion-regret\/\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>But the best part of ThinkProgress\u2019s story comes near the end:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Ultrasound providers can request to be included on this list, but their services must be free. Planned Parenthood clinics were not considered for the list since they don&#8217;t offer free ultrasounds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wait a minute. So the entire premise of the article is that Idaho is biased for giving women a one-sided list of ultrasound providers \u2014 \u00a0&#8220;the new requirement is actually deeply rooted in the state\u2019s fiercely anti-abortion legislature\u201d\u2014yet Zielinski waits until the end to admit that the <em>only reason<\/em> it\u2019s one-sided is because Planned Parenthoods that provide ultrasounds charge women for them?<\/p>\n<p>The very same Planned Parenthood that we\u2019re constantly told needs to keep getting our tax dollars because they\u2019re the single most compassionate entity in the country and a godsend not only for women, but particularly for poor women?<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t make this stuff up, folks. If not for all the innocent lives snuffed out every year, it would almost be funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems abortion advocates will find reasons to complain, even where there are none.
