Hoping for the best, the magazine TIME showed its worst. With quotes from Deborah Woods(Asheville Pregnancy Support Services) one had to think “At last, a conservative viewpoint from a liberal magazine.” Having the interview in the writer’s home town, hopes were dashed. 

The topic—“The Abortion Campaign You Never Hear About”. The question directly under that title—“But are they playing fair?” Then the typical ‘pro-choice’ vernacular is used—“anti-abortion movement”, and “pro-life activists”. The words are typical of someone who wants to keep abortion legal.

Several facts are quoted to give a particular impression: “3 out of 4 women contemplating abortion cite economic pressure as a reason.” Does this mean that women contemplating abortion feel their economic well-being is more important than the life of the baby? Or, do 3 out of 4 women allow others to make the decision for them? Or, are 3 out of 4 women totally ignorant of when ‘life’ really starts, so they’re willing to take the risk of killing possible ‘life’ and the downside if they’re wrong?

Granted, the author of the TIME column cites Woods(APSS) numerous times, but always seems to have a disputing response for every word Woods has. The author seems to assume that the Bible is wrong for condemning sex outside of marriage. The author never mentions that women who have a baby are many times more likely to recover from their experience without the chance of mental or physical harm that would result from an abortion.

It was mentioned that last summer The National Abortion Federation published a study called “An Affront to Choice”. It actually stated that some CPCs(Crisis Pregnancy Centers) are responsible for women being “harassed, bullied, and given blatantly false information”. It was also stated that CPCs, in 20 of 23 sites investigated, “provided false or misleading information about the heath affects of abortion”, inflating the risk of breast cancer, infertility, depression, and suicide.

‘False and misleading’ can be very subjective depending upon which side you’re writing from. The bottom line is that every one of the above heath effects has resulted from an abortion. In some cases, less than expected, but in many more cases, much more than expected. It was stated in the column that NARAL reports that one counselor, in the course of promoting abstinence, has said that “all condoms are defective and have holes in them.” What the article did not say was that many condoms have been found with holes in. Neither did it say that “Abstinence has worked every time it’s been tried.” It seems as if ‘probability’ is not in their vocabulary.

Lorrie(last name withheld) is Femcare’s sole abortion provider in western North Carolina, who brags about “…providing a service to women no one else will.” She doesn’t seem to be getting the message that she’s the only abortionist providing “death” in western North Carolina. As the writer has prayed and counseled just outside of her clinic several times, he knows that God will show her the way---hopefully sooner, than later.

In the article, it continues to talk about how ‘difficult’ the choice of abortion is. But it wouldn’t be difficult at all if the person had tried abstinence when it should have been used. It’s amazing how so many ‘assume’ that humans are such slaves to their sexual instincts that sex ‘must’ occur every time one wants it. One has to wonder if humans are still animals in the rawest form, or have they evolved into something different. An ‘outside’ observer would agree with the latter, but would admit that the former proves that many still lack any foresight whatsoever.

Unfortunately, the entire article proves that those who claim to be unbiased observers are really not unbiased at all. It also shows that pro-abortionists, who hold on to the ‘right’ to an abortion, do not consider the fact of being wrong. That downside can obliterate a soul a trillion times faster than going through an ‘unwanted’ pregnancy.
