When I worked at an abortion clinic
in a small Louisiana city, the "Crisis Pregnancy Center" in town changed their phone number to be one digit off of ours. To catch the ones that misdialed. Classy! Then they use the Christian right's preferred method of persuasion, fearmongering, to convince them of how risky and painful an abortion is. Presumably they let someone else remind them that childbirth is neither particularly safe nor especially pleasant either.
So apparently being pro-life means that tricking people into having children they don't want or can't afford is totally fine, noble even. But once the kids are actually born? You're on your own. No welfare for you!
That the public may be paying for this kind of sanctimonious bullshit makes me want to throw up.
