One of two fake abortion clinics on the same street as the REAL center, the EMW’s Women Center here in downtown Louisville. This one is right next door to the actual clinic and this place is seriously a nightmarish hell-hole for any unsuspecting women tricked by the anti’s. They assure you this this the abortion clinic, they get you inside, and then offer you food and drink—which of course, means that once you realize your mistake, you can’t run next door and catch your actual appointment, since you need to fast.
Women have come out of this building crying, and on a few rare occasions, without their pants. They take you to a back room for an ultrasound, have you remove your pants, and then begin lecturing you on the sins of aborting. They do not give you back your pants until you have listened, and a few women tricked this far refused to listen and stormed out furious, ashamed, and in their underwear.
This is the anti-choice agenda—lying, tricking, shaming, and embarrassing women to the brink of hysterics in hopes that she carry the pregnancy to term. Forcing her, through lies and manipulation, to do with her body what THEY want, not what is best for her.
There is no “choice” at the Louisville “Women’s Choice” clinics. Just abuse, shame, and bigots who would rather undress a woman to make her feel vulnerable and then explain how awful of a person she is than let her make HER. CHOICE.
this is fucking disgusting
There are also kinds of “clinicians” that will trick women into making appointments for abortions and then purposefully and continuously postpone the procedure until it’s too late to legally abort (usually after the second trimester) or when the woman can no longer afford to have an abortion (as it gets more expensive as time passes). An example of this practice can be found in this article from the New York Times.
Basically, anyone considering abortion should be extremely careful and well-informed about the health centers they choose to turn to. Planned Parenthood is usually a safe bet, though not all of them provide abortion services, like the one (count it, ONE) PP location in Mississippi, a state where there is ONE abortion clinic that was recently in danger of being shut down, seen here.
I watched an entire documentary about these shitty “clinics” and I saw how they would trick women and harass them.
This is the most disgusting thing ever.
signal boost. I don’t care what your stance is, pulling this kind of shit just makes you cruel and disgusting.

Russell Brand Destroys MSNBC Talk Show Host for Treating Him Like Shit
“Casual objectification” is an excellent term for not only what these people were doing to him, but for pretty much the entire institution of “celebrity.”
Also, Russell Brand is very funny. These people have no idea how to handle intelligent discourse blended with humor. They are speaking very different cultural languages. It’s a fascinating thing to watch.

Quick, messy graphic to explain a concept that seems obvious to me:
We shouldn’t be helping women because they’re related to someone else. We shouldn’t be helping women because someone else cares about them. We should be helping women because they are people.
We should be helping women for their own sake.
Why is that a hard concept for people to grasp?
