Making money from women hurt by abortion

It’s the slickest business model possible, and it’s making millions from women hurt by abortion.

This is the kind of crass exploitation and profiteering that would usually cause an outcry in the media. If this was big tobacco doing a sideline in cancer treatment there would rightly be consternation.

But this is abortion, and we can be assured that anything abortion providers do is always, always beyond media criticism.

Therefore, when abortion agencies are funded by the government to provide post-abortion counselling for the women the agencies have actually helped to harm, no media outlet points out the glaringly obvious truth : this is a charade.

There is no other word for it. Abortion providers demand cash from the taxpayer to arrange abortions, and then demand more money to provide counselling to the women who are hurt in the process.

What makes this set-up particularly bogus is that, for many years, the abortion industry has flatly denied that abortion harms women. They pour scorn on scientific studies which show the adverse effects of abortion – and their champions in the media often attack women who speak up after being hurt by abortion.

But then Planned Parenthood et al realized something: there was a real demand for counselling amongst women who had undergone abortions. And there was money to be made from providing that counselling.

This was a sales opportunity not to be missed. In Ireland, abortion agencies are funded by the taxpayer to refer young women to Britain to have their babies killed. And then those agencies are funded once again to provide post-abortion counselling to the same women whose fear and panic has now been replaced by loss and sorrow.

The Irish Family Planning Association, the Irish affiliate of the global abortion giant, Planned Parenthood, has now recently reported that the number of women having post-abortion counselling had ‘soared’.

The abortion referral agency said the figure had increased by 80% in 2012 – and that almost 50% of women it had counselled during crisis pregnancy that year later sought post-abortion counselling.

When the IFPA and their cohorts talk about these ‘services’ they like to coyly assert that the counselling – pre and post abortion – is free. The truth is that the taxpayer pays for it, and that tens of millions of euro have been shovelled into Irish abortion referral agencies over the past decade. (Until taxpayer funding was provided the devastated women who sought help post-abortion at such agencies were told they had to pay per hour for counselling. If they couldn’t afford it, they were shown the door).

So abortion – which is meant to be a ‘right’ providing ‘equality’ and ridding women of a ‘burden’ and a ‘clump of cells’ – is so harmful that at least 50% of women need counselling afterwards. And abortion providers continue to deny the harm caused by abortion, while they simultaneously rake in funding for the counselling required because of the harmful effects of abortion.

The blatant contradiction, and the rank hypocrisy, is simply appalling. And, sadly, this situation is repeated in countries right across the globe.

So now, abortion providers are literally laughing all the way to the bank. They get millions from the recession-afflicted, hard-pressed, Irish taxpayer to promote abortion – and then use their bulging coffers to attack Ireland’s abortion laws by taking court cases to the European and UN court.

The only cost involved for them is a dead baby and a grieving mother. In this industry, that’s negligible. The only way this scam will end is if enough public attention is brought to what is happening. Watch this space.
