It's about money and killing. Birth control methods that end up failing, because they are designed to fail? That's what people defend? What does it take for the pro-abortion side to wake up?
Everett may have claimed that abortions were performed for no reason and for the sake of financial gain, but it was a statement vociferously rebutted by many of her former colleagues. For example, William W. West, Jr., M.D., who works in outpatient psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, stated in a news release in 1988 after Everett had been appointed the public affairs Director of Greater Dallas Right to Life Committee and Texas Coalition for Life:
“One thing Ms. Everett claims is that callous greed like hers is a common motive among those who are involved in the provision of abortion services. This is flagrantly untrue. She should know better. She also contends that legal abortion, as practiced in the United States today, is prohibitively dangerous. In actual fact, it is probably about as safe as having a wisdom tooth pulled and is certainly much safer than having a baby, its only alternative. She should know this.”
“. . .Among Ms. Everett’s various fraudulent claims is her assertion that abortion surgery is deliberately performed on women who are not actually pregnant in order to get their money. Give me a break! I hope there are not many among us who are cynical and gullible enough to actually believe such garbage!”

Unless 5 books and being a pro life celebrity is more profitable. She never owned clinics. She managed a couple. That's not as profitable as writing 5 books, constant paid appearances and lots of pro life donations.

This woman has done whatever she has found profitable. She saw abortion was profitable so she bought in. Then she found out pro-life is profitable and she's been writing books and cashing speaking fee checks ever since. Always follow the money. Do you know how many people work in that industry? So the thousands working in such clinics are all covering up some conspiracy to give fake abortions and intentionally get woman pregnant so they come back and get abortions. The fact that they give out birth control is pretty good evidence against it. If they wanted pregnant teens to come in for abortions it would be way easier to denigh birth control and wait. Not give them birth control and hope they don't use it.
If you pay attention to what's logical you can usually see right thru talking points by either side.

So, she found Jesus and is now on a personal crusade to shut down abortion clinics, huh?
Can someone tell me why educating kids about sex is bad?

She isn't making big money protesting abortion.

What is there to wake up to? A woman who desires an abortion will get one regardless of the legality of it. Legal abortions make sure the procedure is safe, clean, and the appropriate tools are used. Just because one particular abortion clinic uses unethical procedures to increase revenue, doesn't damn the whole industry.
This thread is making a mountain out of a molehill. Prosecute the abortion clinic, but don't pretend like this indicative of the whole industry. You need to produce more evidence to make that claim.

Not really surprised at this. You name any business that is run for profit and there will be corruption and depending on the business you will see different ways of corruption. In the health industry it is worse because the things that are done affect people's health and that is one of the most disgusting sickening ways gaining profit.
Seems that the lid is being blown off the top of so many things these days, and we hear about another place that corruption has run rampant for years. What is making so many new people come forward and expose things? Could it be that the country is waking up to this and going to try to stop it?

If a school gave any of my kids birth control or condoms I would be outraged. It's not their place to include such perverted idiocy into the curriculum. I would take this ladies word as evidence just because of her involvement. Testimony stands in a court of law. The wrong people are in control of academia. This has been evident for a long time now. Hopefully she will bring good change because of coming out. Good for her and the kids.

I don't think it happened in the first place. We have thousands working in the abortion field with hundreds being fired and quiteing daily. With the only person making these claims being a woman who's lively hood is 100% tied to pro-life donations, book sales and speaking fees. We should have people coming out daily with such claims. Not one chick who hasn't been in that buisness in decades. It's all right there to see.... Unless you don't want the truth. You want to make your point.
