Amanda—do you direct these as well, if so, do you have to school your misinformation actors… “No no no! Douchier! Say it like you hate women!” :D

bravo!

I’ve only met one person IRL who was fooled by a CPC. Luckily it didn’t stop them from asking around about it after going there, getting information about Planned Parenthood and going to PP a few days later.

Still- I wonder how many women these places lie to on a daily basis. It makes me angry as hell.

(Ahem), DEMONcraps = recreational abortions.  And gay ones at that.

I’m reminded of Falwell’s “Foster Grandparent” program, where for the sum of 700$(this was back in 1985, but still) the participant would get some gimcrack object acknowledging their donation, and the knowledge that “Every woman in the program has dedicated herself to Jesus”.

Forced birth and conversion for such a measly sum.  What a bargain for a Christian!

I’m a writer, born and bred.

I’m reminded of Mother Avengers’ best friend, who directed lots of plays, but said she had too much stage fright to be a performer. You’re obviously the other way around.
 
You keep getting better as a presenter in your never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the Feminist Way.

“Trick you into having a baby”?

Dang, that’s some seriously powerful trickery at work. What, like you think you’re getting an abortion, and then over the next nine months they tell you that the nausea, abdominal swelling, and muscle cramps are just side effects from the surgery?

I would think that feminism is incompatible with thinking that women are gullible morons, but apparently not.

Also, it’s “pregnancy”, not “pregacy”.

Dan my man, I’ve been waiting for someone like you to come along so I could link this comic.  http://www.umbrellahead.com/toenolla/blogpics/stickcomic1.jpg

Hey look, Dan in Denver’s never heard of anyone in a vulnerable state being coerced, bullied or lied at into getting them to do something they don’t want to.

Gosh, Dan in Denver’s pretty amazingly stupid, isn’t he?

Dan, you understand that nobody has to lie to a pregnant woman for the whole nine months in order to trick her into having a baby, right? If they lie to you for three months, promising you that they’re just having scheduling problems and don’t worry, you still have another trimester to legally abort, that’s plenty. By then you’re probably stuck with the pregnancy for an assortment of legal and financial and availability reasons. Smart people are misled all the time, especially vulnerable and desperate smart people who are being deliberately lied to.

“I would think that feminism is incompatible with thinking that women are gullible morons, but apparently not. “

I would think being old enough to use the Internet is incompatible with being unable to comprehend super-super-super basic figurative language, but apparently not.

CPC of Greater Phoenix contributed $100K to Prop 102 (AZ’s anti-gay marriage initiative).  What, you say?  Gay marriage has nothing to do with abortion?  Well, according to the “Christian mission” of the CPC, it must.  Up until recently, when Gov. Napolitano rejected federal abstinence only funding, the CPC of Phoenix was getting federal tax dollars to lie and prosletyze.

Not only does lying to women get the workers at CPCs thrown off their moral high-horses, it sort of defeats the whole purpose of having an opinion in the first place. If your agenda’s existence depends on people believing the lies you tell, then there’s really nothing to your agenda, is there?

Emily, you can find your explanation here.

Just a quick note - the blue and red backgrounds, ever considering swwapping their implementations? The blue tends to be calm and sooting psychologically, the red more aggressive and startling, especially when in motion. It tends to make the “conservative” points seem more valid and the “liberal” points more like scare tactics, especially with the motion.

If people are just clicking through they may actually not follow the flow of the arguments as well, because they could have an emotional response to the color that is at odds with their emotional response to the info.

I could be wrong, but that’s generally how it’s presented in graphics classes - though the red does call more attention as well. So there’s a tradeoff whichever way you do it.

I wish Amanda would say things like,

Kids who take virginity pledges—-and are especially gullible, for obvious reasons—-have fewer sexual partners down the road a couple years than kids who don’t take the pledges, but have the same STD and unintended pregnancy rates.  Why?  They don’t use birth control as much, probably because they’ve been told it shrivels your cock off or whatever scare stories they feed you in church.

so viewers got a better idea who Amanda really is. The lady in the video sounds almost rational. Well, except for the “They won’t help you kill your kids” part. Nice “writing.”

I wish Sharon would write:

God kills thousands of unborn children every day, but I get all worked up about it if a woman decides on her own to end her pregancy.

She’d at least have the double virtue of being honest with herself and us, but I’m not gonna hold my breath….........
