I believe you misplaced something Jenny, speaking of skimming.


Lol ok since you apparently have not read the original link , I'll help you out in that part.
These clinics do not advertise as being family planning, they advertise as being a "crisis pregnancy center".

From: Original article
Take Action!
Stop Fake "Clinics" from Deceiving Women
So-called "crisis pregnancy centers" are proliferating across the nation — a deceitful new tactic of the anti-choice movement to keep women from getting the accurate education and health services they seek.

These fake "clinics" often masquerade as health centers offering the full range of reproductive health services, when their only real purpose is to keep women from exercising their right to choice and family planning.

One such center in Indiana shares a parking lot with a real Planned Parenthood clinic, and was designed expressly to lure our patients and deceive them. Recently, people from the fake "clinic" waged a campaign of intimidation and harassment against a 17-year-old girl who, with her mother and boyfriend, came to what she thought was our clinic for an abortion. Over the following days, the anti-choice extremists called the police to say the girl was being forced to have an abortion, showed up at her home, called her father's workplace, and even went to her school and urged classmates to pressure her not to have an abortion.

The worst part? Your tax dollars are funding these "crisis pregnancy centers" to the tune of $60 million.

A new bill in Congress, the "Stop Deceptive Advertising for Women's Services Act" (H.R.5052), would stop "crisis pregnancy centers" from deceiving women. Urge your representative to support this important bill.


I have made the most relevant part bold and underlined it so you can find it easier.
Now where exactly in this do they advertise as being a "family planning" clinic?
They advertise as being a clinic that will help in extreme cases (abortion) , yet they do the complete opposite. They withhold information , feed false information and even go so far as to harass.

There is no arguement that you can make that can possibly justify this in a non medieval world.

I was NOT talking about the original article but trying to make discussion of what SHOULD have been done.
