Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney has introduced a “Stop Deceptive Advertising for Women’s Services Act” which is targeting Planned Parenthood’s nemesis, the Crisis Pregnancy Centers.
“New York City has seen firsthand how crisis pregnancy centers deliberately confuse women by establishing themselves near legitimate reproductive health care centers. These fake clinics have opened in close proximity to our Brooklyn and Bronx centers, misleading clients seeking the unbiased care that Planned Parenthood provides. Planned Parenthood knows that women are completely capable of making the best decision for themselves and their families – without coercion, intimidation or lies. We provide our patients with a full range of medically accurate information about our services, as well as comprehensive unbiased counseling on all pregnancy options, including carrying a pregnancy to term, adoption, and abortion. As health care providers you need to be honest with your patients. Fake clinics are not honest. They are not health care providers and they need to stop pretending to be,” said Joan Malin, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of New York City.
If it wasn’t so evil you could almost admire the Orwellian language used. "legitimate reproductive health care centers" are the ones that help you not reproduce and the "deceptive" ones are the ones that help support you to reproduce. Planned Parenthood fights tooth and nail to prevent mandatory access to ultrasounds yet have the nerve to talk about lies and coercion. Their whole use of choice is what is deceptive and should be stopped. If they really supported choice there would be Planned Parenthood Maternity Hospitals. So can anybody be surprised that their so-called counselors push women towards the "choice" that financially benefits them?

This must have been written for a “How many lies can you fit in one paragraph?” contest.
Good grief! It is obvious there is a difference between a “crisis pregnancy center” and a “reproductive health care center” by the names alone! And IF someone is confused, they will quickly figure it out once they walk in the door. PP claims “that women are completely capable of making the best decision for themselves and their families”, which implies they are smart enough to do so. Yet PP contradicts themselves by saying women are confused.
Deception at its finest. Banded Parenthood thwarts being manatory reporters for rape laws and claims legitimate reproductive death care centers with medically accurate information.
Another Catholic member of Congress heard from. The salt of the earth!
UNBIASED CARE?!
Luke 19:41-44 (RSV):
And when [Jesus] drew near and saw [Jerusalem] he wept over it, saying, “Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies will cast up a bank about you and surround you, and hem you in on every side, and dash you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you; because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
The city in this case, needless to say, is the good ol’ US of A.
Well, I guess I’m just a big ol’ bully, intimidating women, since I’ve worked at these centers before.
Really, any woman should be able to tell the difference. Here’s a primer:
PP – basket of condoms on the front desk. Bins of dead babies in the back.
Crisis Pregnancy Center – Pictures of babies on the wall. Bins of maternity clothes and probably toys and baby clothes in the back – for ALL of your children.

Choice? Yeah right. These people are so transparent.
I’m surprised they didn’t make their usual point about CPCs “pretending” to be clinics but only offering information (PP’s term for dishonest persuasion, at least when PP does it), unlike PP, which offers the full range of fetal dismemberment services. Except for the mallfront ones that only off BC prescriptions and hand cream or whatever.
Was that argument not holding water?
