Religion and Abortions
pro-Faith, pro-Woman, pro-Health, pro-Choice
Abortion protestors, a minority, would have the majority of people believe that abortion should be stopped.
They do mental gymnastics twisting reality to prove their beliefs. I will list websites for opposing viewpoints.
ProChoice websites
Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice is a non-catholic proChoice website.
General prochoice articles abortion and contraception.

I'm Not Sorry is a positive, proChoice, post-abortion talk forum. The proLifer's have flooded the internet with, in my opinion, false horror stories about abortion. This site hopefully provides a little balance.
National Abortion Federation is the largest national abortion provider network, with resources for patients as well. We are a member of NAF.
"Why I'm an Abortion Provider" is a short bit about how a proLife doctor became an abortion provider.
Abortion law time-line. Catholics used to be okay with abortion, and private schooling of conservative's children paved the way for access to abortion!
ProLife (LimitedChoice, anti-abortion)
Operation Rescue by Troy Newman and Cheryl Sullenger (former arsonist in California).
Let's see, they picket clinic staff homes, mail gross postcards of post-abortion fetal tissue to
entire ZIP codes of a clinic staff member, drive a billboard truck with fetal tissue posters around the
city to gross-out or anger people, write fake anti-abortion news stories, and incite unstable
people to do damage to clinics.
Pregnancy Resource Center
by Robin deVilbiss, 725 Central Avenue, Kansas City, KS, phone: 913.233.2229. They are across the
street from us. Their placement nearby us is an attempt to catch the directionally lost person
who accidently wanders into their "fake" clinic (an unfortunate fly in the spider web) and to try
and scare the patient away from an abortion. When the patient realizes they are in the wrong
place, asked of Robin, "Do you know where Aid For Women is?" she relies, "No" even though we
are across the street.
How poor is the demand for a product (abstinence, or 15 kids) when you are required to use deception
(pretending to be an abortion clinic next door to a real abortion clinic) to sell your product? It's
not unlike fortune tellers, scam e-mails from Nigeria, and scam stock tips. Puulllease!
Faithful Soldier of Evangelism,
Jason & Sara Storms, c/o Mercy Seat Christian Church, 10240 W. National Ave., Suite 129,
Milwaukee, WI 53227, phone:262-623-2194. ProLife recruitment is like catching a common cold.
It gets you when you are down.
Kansans for Life by Mary Kay Culp, Director. Typical state-level proLife group.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, typical catholic
proLife "do nothing" movement. Supposedly viewing picture of Mother Mary will heal all ills.
Child Predators by Mark
Crutcher of Life Dynamics Inc., 204 Cardinal Drive, Denton, Texas 76209. Typical
frothing-at-the-mouth proLifer. Believes abortion clinics in general are supported
by 30-40 year old men who are getting all minors pregnant. Me thinks he is too interested in young girls.
Prints and distributes the smear campaign "Bottom Feeders" magazine to dissuade (or shame)
medical students from becoming abortion providers.
Christian Gallery, aka
Nuremberg Files by Neal Horsely. Seriously unstable proLifer. Designed a website
devoted to collecting and listing names and addresses so that abortion providers can be
jailed "ex post facto" (unconstitutionally penalizing someone for a previously legal act
after a law makes the act illegal)(see Constitution, Article 1, Section 9.) Was in contact
with the nut case felon Clay Wagner who mailed the fake anthrax letters to abortion clinics.
Army of God. Stupid, stupid, stupid extremism.
Pushes the likes of unstable James Kopp to kill, and James assassinated Barnett Slepian in 1998.
They pretend to be Christians.
