January 21, 2005The Great Abortion Marketing Plan
Every year in America, more than a million babies are killed via "abortion", including tens of thousands of late-term abortions (after the 12th week). The build up to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision was a huge marketing campaign that ultimately gave way to the term "reproductive rights". Since the unprecedented Supreme Court ruling, American doctors have performed over 40 million abortions. That's more than the amount of people who died during the Holocaust, the Middle Passage, and Japanese Internment. The definition of "abortion" in our dictionaries and encyclopedias should read "the most thorough and destructive holocaust the world has ever experienced". Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of NARAL/Pro-Choice America, was a well-known abortion doctor with over 70,000 murders under his watch when he had a shocking change of heart. With cutting-edge technology in his hands, he decided to place a camera inside a woman's body to record the process of the abortion as it took place. He recalls his experience: "...as a result of all of this technology – looking at this baby, examining it, investigating it, watching its metabolic functions, watching it urinate, swallow, move and sleep, watching it dream, which you could see by its rapid eye movements via ultrasound, treating it, operating on it – I finally came to the conviction that this was my patient. This was a person! I was a physician, pledged to save my patients' lives, not to destroy them. So I changed my mind on the subject of abortion."Since his "conversion", Dr Nathanson has confessed and exposed the abortion industry's corrupt practices, one of which includes placing young pregnant girls with counselors that are paid to convince the girls to get abortions. Dr. Nathanson has also been very candid about the roots of the pro-abortion movement and how their deceptively strategic marketing plan was full of lies and misleading information. The effort to move the focus away from the morality of killing unborn babies has been very successful. This is no longer made to be a moral issue. Now it's about some "sexy" and abstract notion of freedom and women owning their own bodies. A monster has been created. WorldNetDaily's Managing Editor, David Kupelian is the author of the forthcoming book, "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom". In Kupelian's latest WorldNetDaily column, "How lying marketers sold Roe v. Wade to America", he uses interviews and confessions of Dr. Nathanson and other research to uncover some sickening realities of the pro-abortion movement. Kupelian writes: "Women must have control over their own bodies."Safe to say, this tactic has worked with remarkable delusion. In an interview, Dr. Nathanson spoke of the forming of NARAL upon distorted truths: "We sat down and plotted out the organization now known as NARAL. With Betty Friedan, we set up this organization and began working on the strategy.In much of his interview, he speaks with gut-wrenching detail on the actual steps in various abortion procedures. Efforts to keep Dr. Nathanson quiet and discredit his testimonies began the moment he released the film "The Silent Scream", based on video footage of abortions as they take place. The pro-choice opposition has never desired for people to know the truth. We cannot continue to allow people to flippantly dress up the lie as the truth. The expose is long overdue. Comments Posted by: Mark La Roi at January 21, 2005 2:33 PM From what I understand, Matt Drudge wanted to show an abortion on his old FOXNews channel show but they refused. On a cable channel (Discovery Health I think,) they have shown heart operations, face lifts and even breast implant sugery, in all of their gory details. As far as I know, no station in the US has shown an abortion. What are they hiding? Posted by: Steven J. Kelso Sr. at January 21, 2005 3:20 PM I used to feel that abortion was more, "wrong for me," than wrong period. Kind of like green is the wrong color on me, but looks fine on other people. Then I had an ultra sound and realized that a "fetus" is just a really small baby. I had a miscarriage and knew that someone had died. I know now abortion is murder and that no one should be allowed to choose to kill someone, but it takes a lot to for some people to get there. Although I've always felt disgusted by the idea of abortion I think that I had to actually experience a pregnancy to truly understand what abortion allows women to do. Anyway, I haven't read the comment policy. I hope there's nothing in there about really long comments. :o) Posted by: afrochelle at January 21, 2005 4:44 PM "Sexy". The only people who make dumb assertions that people believe abortion is "sexy" are anti-choice folks like yourself. Posted by: Oliver at January 21, 2005 8:53 PM Oliver, did you even bother to read the article I linked? Probably not. If you had, you'd see that the word sexy wasn't implied by me, but by Nathanson as he discussed their motives as PRO-CHOICE individuals in shaping the public's view on abortion. Paragraph 13 of the article states the following quote from Dr. Nathanson: "We were looking for some sexy, catchy slogans to capture public opinion. They were very cynical slogans then, just as all of these slogans today are very, very cynical." Better recognize.... Posted by: Ambra at January 21, 2005 8:57 PM "Better recognize" lmao, Ambra, you're the bomb. Posted by: Scooter at January 21, 2005 10:32 PM I've shared this with you before, Ambra, but I forgot one crucial detail: the concept that choosing to have an abortion is an agonizing decision. I don't believe that applies to the vast majority of cases. Remember I told you that my mom had an abortion when I was a baby? Well, she also told me that several of her girlfriends had abortions as well, all around the same time, and not one of them took it seriously. It was no big deal. People don't usually choose to do things that are monumentally difficult, they look for an easy way out. Committing yourself to raising a child is the truly tough venture; choosing to get rid of "it" is easy by comparison. Posted by: Andrea at January 22, 2005 12:17 PM Sorry about your loss, afrochelle. Before I was pregnant with my son, I never knew what abortion really was, hard to believe. Learning about pregnancy was the first step towards knowing how inhumane abortion is. Posted by: Andrea at January 22, 2005 12:30 PM Excellent as always, Ambra. And way to shut down Mr. Kryptonite-to-common-sense. Posted by: Bleeding heart conservative at January 22, 2005 12:52 PM Sexy in the context of marketing is one thing, you extrapolated it to be sexy = abortion. Guess what, all those beloved antichoice groups look for sexy marketing words as well. Posted by: Oliver at January 22, 2005 1:11 PM One more thing I'd like to add: the Church needs to be Biblical on this issue in every aspect. Making abortion illegal is just one part, albeit an important one. I really believe that it should be common knowledge on the street, in schools, on college campuses, etc. that if you're facing an unplanned pregnancy with no support from family/boyfriend/whatever, that you can walk into any church and find a whole host of people who will help you. But I think we believers are lacking in this area. We just want to be right and not do much else. Spiritual outreach and practical domestic help could do wonders to cut back on abortions. I plan on volunteering at a local crisis pregnancy center...I don't have any formal counseling expertise, but I can be a friend...and change dirty diapers and wash baby bottles, whatever it takes. Posted by: Andrea at January 22, 2005 1:43 PM Oliver: At least be rational about this rabbit hole argument kick you're on. At what point did I say (or extrapolate) that abortion was sexy or that pro-choicers called it sexy? *waiting* Right. I didn't. I said the following: "The effort to move the focus away from the morality of killing unborn babies has been very successful. This is no longer made to be a moral issue. Now it's about some "sexy" and abstract notion of freedom and women owning their own bodies. A monster has been created." This was said in reference to the marketing of abortion as a liberty instead of focusing on the morality of it (see context of post for clarity). In all of the 500+ word of what I said, you can amazingly divert the focus of the topic. If you want to nitpick, fine. But don't waste my time making improper assertions shot forth from your hip. Come correct please. afrochelle: Your comment length was just fine. There's only one person who reads this site that's banned from making long comments and he knows who he is. I too am sorry for your loss. I know that losing a child is tremendously painful. Thanks for sharing that. And you too Andrea, as always. I think you are dead on about the role of the church. Honestly, I think we face such an epidemic with abortion because the church hasn't stepped up to its role in reaching out to people. We need to get it together. Steven: It doesn't shock me that they wouldn't show an abortion on television. Not one bit. Posted by: Ambra at January 22, 2005 2:08 PM Her mother's womb should be the safest place in the world for a child. Posted by: BillyHW at January 22, 2005 6:10 PM I just wanted to tell an experience I had at planned parenthood in CA. Posted by: shari at January 22, 2005 9:34 PM I just wanted to tell an experience I had at planned parenthood in CA. Posted by: shari at January 22, 2005 9:37 PM Exactly, not just a tissue. Did you hear that Oliver? It's not like your blowing your nose here in a tissue. This is the creation of LIFE. What don't you get about it all being a lie? Dr Nathanson was the original player in creating that lie. Geez Oliver, where did you come from, a monkey? But thats a whole other topic, creationism. Posted by: chardonnay at January 23, 2005 8:03 PM Anyone with half a brain knows that evolution isn't about coming from monkeys. But then again, you may not have heard that the earth isn't flat. As far as the "creation of life" goes, where exactly do you people stop? Is the natural action of thousands of teenage boys (I'm sure you can figure out what I'm saying) akin to 1,000 genocides? Ambra: My issue is that you're equivocating the sexiness of marketing solely with the pro-choice movement and essentially extrapolating it into a message of abortion = sexy, which isn't so. Not to mention how much stock I would put in with someone writing books and columns for an organization as nutty (even on the right) as Worldnetdaily. Posted by: Oliver at January 23, 2005 10:13 PM "Sexy". The only people who make dumb assertions that people believe abortion is "sexy" are anti-choice folks like yourself...My issue is that you're equivocating the sexiness of marketing solely with the pro-choice movement and essentially extrapolating it into a message of abortion = sexy, which isn't so. Oliver is absolutely right. Anti-choice people LIE when they say that people try to market abortion as being "sexy". Posted by: BillyHW at January 24, 2005 12:31 AM I wonder where trolls are at on the evolutionary chain? Posted by: Steven J. Kelso Sr. at January 24, 2005 10:21 AM What is interesting to me is the ambivalence people have about abortion. In the American Medical Association's Encyclopedia of Medicine [pub. 1989], they show with pictures and/or drawings how all but one common surgery is done . They do not show how an abortion is done--although it is the most common elective surgery. Posted by: Evon at January 25, 2005 6:52 AM Is abortion terrible? In a word, yes. Terrible for the mother and for the baby...But so is an infant thrown in the garbage. When this is no longer occuring, then we can talk about overturning Rov vs. Wade. I would agree that most PP's don't do a good job of counseling young women on their alternative, and if they did, a lot of senseless deaths could be avoided. But an outlaw of abortion is anti-progressive. More problems would be caused by forcing women who would get abortions anyway to get them done in unsafe ways. Adoption isn't a valid alternative with the TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE system we have. I should know. I've been there. Posted by: DancingBrave at January 28, 2005 11:52 AM Hasn't anyone ever heard of birth control? The most telling paragraphs in all of these comments are these: "The effort to move the focus away from the morality of killing unborn babies has been very successful" and - "Besides how horrible abortion has been for women and the unborn, it's been an awful influence on men too - now they don't have to be responsible for anything." Women do not apparently realize they have given away all their "choices" and become meat in the sexual marketplace, to be used, abused and discarded to dispose of the "mistake" of not controlling their bodies. Very sad indeed and men got what they always wanted sex whenever they wanted without any consequences.... stupid, stupid, stupid. Posted by: arlene at February 6, 2005 8:23 AM |

As of late, the war on abortion has really been relegated to a battle on terms. There's been a very crafty attempt to exchange the word "kill" with "abort", "murder" with "abortion", and "child/baby" for "fetus". Attempting to expose the reality of how these terms have left much of America confused isn't really the issue. It's bigger than "terms". The war is on a mindset. People have been brainwashed and told how to think about the issues.

Now let's see how this goes ignored by the mainstream. I don't see this as a "holier-than-thou", because I used to believe abortion was okay. I could never stare at a picture of a fetus though. The first time I saw a picture of the results of an abortion on the fetus I was changed forever. It didn't take long afterward for me to realize that this was a abominable procedure.
Thanks for truth Ambra.
