How to Frame an Abortionist
By William Saletan, Originally posted on SlateAs Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell went on trial for murder in late April, Live Action, a pro-life group, began releasing hidden-camera videos recorded inside other abortion clinics. The videos were shot by pregnant “investigators” who lured clinic personnel into sham doctor-patient conversations orchestrated to embarrass doctors and their clinics. Live Action edited the hours of raw video (available here, here, and here) into selective highlights, lasting from 30 seconds to several minutes (shown here, here, here, here, and here), which were then heavily promoted and aired on TV news and commentary programs.
Slate went through the raw footage to see what the video editors took out. Above is a highlight reel of what Live Action didn’t want you to see.
I need feminism because the Irish government and the Catholic Church currently have more of a say over what I do with my own body than I do.
And that’s fucked up.#LEGALISEABORTION #PROCHOICE

halfhomosexuals asked: HI! so I just applied to become a peer educator at the planned parenthood in my city, and I am hella excited! this doesn't really pertain to anything but I just wanted to tell someone! thank you for running such a great blog!
Thanks for sharing that! And thanks for the support. :)
smile-of-the-lilin-child asked: I'm pretty sure Seuss himself was a supporter for Planned Parenthood as well. Anti-choicers are just in denial because they don't want to stop using "A person's a person no matter how small" to advocate their nonsense.
Dr. Seuss and his wife (Aubrey Geisel) were both very liberal, for sure. It’s fine for people to interpret “A person’s a person no matter how small” differently from how Dr. Seuss actually meant it (American occupation of Japan post-WWII) because how we perceive pieces of literature can be subjective. But in this case, context is important—especially if you’re trying to misuse a pro-choicer’s words to shove propaganda down the throats of children. That’s pretty much where I find issue.
Why do anti-choicers think I’m lying about Dr. Seuss’s second wife? And about how she was a long time advocate for reproductive/sexual healthcare and rights? She’s pro-choice so she doesn’t exist? I’m really confused. This information is easily accessible. Google exists. And so did Aubrey Geisel and her long time support for Planned Parenthood.
Anonymous asked: I get really angry when anti-choicers try to guilt trip women out of getting an abortion by saying they're "hurting" men. A friend of mine got an abortion, and right after words, her ex who got her pregnant, tried to guilt trip her by saying she killed his baby (even though he paid and took her to the clinic), and that he'll be a different man if she stays with him. My friend didn't buy any of it, and sure enough the next day, he confessed to her that he went and slept with other girls.
I’m sorry to hear that your friend went through that. Wishing the best for her!

Anon 1: Cognitive dissonance, my dear friend. It’s because anti-choicers don’t actually care about people—especially people who have the ability to get pregnant or anyone who needs a little more help. They care about their own beliefs more.
Anon 2: Thanks for sharing that! Hoping for the best for you and everyone in Arkansas, as well as everyone else living in states that are passing similar laws.
Anonymous asked: Dr. Suess actually had 2 wives. The first one (Giesel) killed herself but the 2nd one is the one who donated to PP (Dimond)
Oh, I know this. But the specific wife (Audrey Geisel) mentioned was the second one (obvious because of the PP mention). Well, not so obvious, I guess? Since people are really that confused? Anyway, thanks for sharing that info for everyone else. :)
If you think abortions ok, remember what Horton says.
Awkward. Dr. Seuss and his wife were really liberal and pro-choice. They’ve even threatened to sue pro-life organizations for using this quote the wrong way (the way you’re doing it actually). I guess you didn’t already know that Horton Hears a Who is about the American occupation of Japan post-WWII. He even dedicated it to his dear Japanese friend.
Mrs. Geisel (Mrs. Seuss) continued donating to Planned Parenthood and advocating for reproductive health and rights after her husband died.
Mrs. Seuss died before her husband? She killed herself because she was very painfully Ill. *i can’t insert pictures on mobile but pretend that more you know star picture is here*
thank you. that just shows they lied to prove their point. just like demis to lie.
Umm…
-Mrs. Seuss died after her husband. (The second one, at least.)
-Mrs. Seuss is a long time reproductive healthcare and rights advocate.
Click here for proof! It’s from an icky pro-life source!
And that’s really rude of you to accuse Demi of being a liar.

NC Bill Will No Longer Let Employers Veto Contraception Coverage, Bans Abortion Coverage Instead
From RH Reality Check 16 May 2013 -
NC Bill Will No Longer Let Employers Veto Contraception…
Anonymous asked: When I was 19, I got an abortion. There was no way I could take care of a child with the current situations in my life, the guy was NOT going to be there, it was just all a huge mistake (and I was on the pill ._.) Anyways, at the center I went to for the procedure, people were gathered outside with signs, and they were yelling.. They called me a sinner and a killer. I'd burn in hell. Whore. I was no good. I wish people like them would open their eyes. I'm glad I found this blog :)
Thank you for sharing your story! I’m here for the support, and I appreciate yours. :)
