Isn't it lovely when people like Planned Parenthood
are honest about their beliefs?:
At
25,209, the total of abortions performed in Michigan last year was the
lowest since detailed record-keeping began. The abortion rate --
abortions per 1,000 women -- also dropped last year, from 22.0 in 1987
to 11.9 for women ages 15-44.
Diane
Killian, spokesperson for the Michigan chapter of Planned Parenthood
said she found the trend "dismaying." "Restrictions have created a
climate of fear and intimidation," said Killian. "Forcing a teenage
girl to obtain parental consent is barbaric. Making doctors comply with
'informed consent' exposes these young women to gruesome details that
may scar them for life. The resulting decline in the exercise of a
woman's freedom can only be seen as, at best, dismaying."
Killian
says she is not optimistic about reversing the trend. "The radical
right has got this country by the short hairs," said Killian. "A day
may come when there are no more legal abortions. It's frightening."
No commentary nessesary.
