Any doctor does that. I had a kid and had separate bills for the birth, the nursery, the epidural and the stay

Perhaps if the "religious" people attacking planned parenthood intended to support the babies they want women to be forced to carry, they might have some small thread of moral legitimacy.

#20: How would they know the mother wouldn't accept it?

So what are you trying to say? With your stance, the OP really has only 2 options. Either she shouldn't work at planned parenthood, or she should hide or lie about that part of her life to her mother? Neither of these is fair to the OP, who shouldn't have to compromise herself and change her life just because her mothers is a judgmental fanatic. You're blaming the OP instead of holding the mother accountable, the person who is actually in the wrong in this situation. Her daughter's job is not hurting her in any way, so she should stop it with the rituals and overreacting, she doesn't have to like what her daughter does, but she does have to accept it.

You're completely right besides its not like it's OP who conducts the abortions, but it could be more then the abortions that OP's mother has an issue with; some religions are against contraception also. so it could be that too.

a question mark at the end of your sentence would have created a better result than ellipses/sarcasm. Though this is me giving you the benefit of the doubt you weren't being literal. Not that being literal would have made much sense..

Or the life of the child after it's born. George Carlin once had the best rant ever about the folks who call themselves pro-life, and it boils down to them caring about that life between conception and birth. I like to say the "pro-life" tend to be like girls who dream of the perfect wedding day without giving a thought to the marriage; they gush over the embryo/fetus without giving thought to the eventual baby who need food, clothing, a home, medical care, and an education.

Actually adoption is very prevalent among pro-life people. For example, the pastor at my parents' church, who is very pro-life, has adopted all three of his children. And I've heard so many pro-choice people argue in favor of abortion because people born into poverty or with disabilities will inevitably become burdens to society. That's not exactly a celebration of life after birth, is it?

Yes, well, until there are no more kids aging out of the foster care system without a family, I'd rather not hear "adoption, not abortion". And perhaps they should also be okay with same-sex couples adopting too. I have a cousin who does foster children and has even adopted children; fair to say she walks the walk. But a lot of them don't. As for ending the pregnancy of a fetus who will be disabled, perhaps a couple doesn't have the financial, physical, and emotional resources to deal with a special needs child.

In my experience they are the same people who are usually for the Death Penalty as well. Not to mention, if they were truly "pro-life" they would discourage men from masturbating and releasing and killing potential children. It's not like the mothers can get pregnant on their own. They do need the sperm to fertilize the egg, If they want to persecute women and doctors for abortions, they need to persecute men who ********** as well.
