On a Woman's Right to Choose

not to abort the child. A pro-life doctor on presenting about crisis pregnancy centers before the New York city council:

...They don’t care. And they are horrifically ill-informed.

We were asked by both people what was so wrong with being made to advertise at the door and in the waiting room that we don’t do abortions, nor do we provide contraceptives. I asked if the legislation would require the abortionists to post all of the side effects on their doors, and if they would require posting whether women were killed at a particular center? Well… you know the reaction.

Then we needed to address the calumny that we were endangering a woman’s right to choose. My rejoinder was clear and simple:

We are the ones who guarantee choice by providing an alternative to abortion. Choice requires more than one option, or else it isn’t a choice. Without more than one option, choice collapses into compulsion and coercion. I explained that we offer women services that many don’t even realize exist.

Blank stares...
