    This is a branch of the anti-life movement (International Planned Parenthood Federation) which promotes abortion and birth control. They are anti-family, anti-child. They won't tell you this because they are making money out of you! There are many in your city or town and don't deserve any support.

    Well, they're a cro-choice clinics, not anti-life. You may not agree with them, but lying about them is a fairly childish way to go about things. They give all the options available, not narrow it down to one, as some clinics do.

    To do with this, I assume: http://www.spuc.org.uk/



    Wait, birth control is part of the "anti life movement"?

    SPUC, or The "Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child" was an organization which got hot and heavy during the various abortion referendums held here in Ireland over the last 30 years or so. I don't know if the Irish branch of SPUC are still around these days, but they're certainly active in the UK, where they have formed alliances with a number of religious organizations, including islamics and fundamentalist christians.

    By the same logic anyone supporting the Nazis was pro-choice because they supported Hitler's right to choose whether to kill the Jews or not to kill them.

    As for the people who only supported one option (not killing Jews) I guess they were liars if they accused the Nazis of being anti-Jewish life?

    Cause an abortion is exactly the same as capturing a person, holding them in horrible conditions, beating and torturing them then putting them to death. :rolleyes:

    Hmmm. A thread godwin'd in less than two and a half hours, and in fewer than ten posts.

    Is this a forum record?

    Ehh, I think you missed the point of the post. It was meant to show you that, if you consider the unborn child, alive, then you should not have the 'choice' to kill him/her. Its pro choice in the same way as hitler could 'choose' to kill the Jews. Obviously, if you don't see the baby as a life you'll disagree, but thats what the point was.

    The last bit is right - putting them to death.

    I reject Godwin's law. It is nonsense and based on a false premise.

    What are you on about? The OP said that the clinic is anti-life. If they were, they'd be campaigning that everyone should be killed. It's got nothing to do with Nazis, even in comparison.
