TOP 5 excuses for Planned Parenthood (and why they’re absurd)!

In case you are living under a rock, the news of the last couple weeks is that Planned Parenthood is harvesting intact internal and external body parts of fully-formed aborted babies, and selling the specimens for financial gain. The Center for Medical Progress has just released a 5th video documenting this fact.

However, not everyone is willing to believe in reality — including the White House — and they’ve come up with some standard excuses to give this abortion mill a pass. Here are the Top 5, and why they’re absurd.

Things to consider before going to a Bangor abortion clinic; You are never alone

Getting pregnant was not part of your plan, and now you’re deciding what to do about the baby growing inside of you. You don’t feel ready to have a baby. You may have gotten pregnant by accident, and you’re worried what others will think of you. You’re worried about what your parents or friends might say, or how they might react.

You searched for Bangor abortion clinics and it brought you to this article. You’re wondering what you should know before going to a Bangor abortion clinic, or maybe you’re concerned about the risks associated with abortion. Or maybe you weren’t aware that there were risks, and you’re just scared. That’s OK. It’s OK to be scared.

40 Days for Life underway in Bangor; Maine abortion rates down

On September 25th the ’40 days for Life’ prayer vigil kicked off in Bangor and will run until November 3rd. As a peaceful national campaign, ’40 Days for Life’ participants pray and fast near abortion clinics with the goal that visitors may see them and think twice about their decision, and ultimately choose life for their unborn baby. Perhaps more importantly, those praying simply believe God will use their prayers to change hearts and minds concerning this issue.

In Bangor, those wishing to participate gather at the entrance to Evergreen Woods at 700 Mt. Hope avenue (across from the Bangor Humane Society) anytime between 7AM and 7PM. Evergreen Woods is home to the Mabel Wadsworth Center where abortion procedures take place regularly.

Considering Abortion? Consider your ‘First Step’…

first step

— By Guest Contributor Sarah Prill —

How often do you hear the phrase “my body, my choice”? Indeed it is. Abortion is legal in this country. But how often do you see the choices clearly laid out, and the consequences of either choice presented plainly. So many young women are left feeling alone, hopeless, judged; and as though they have no choice.

Regardless of your circumstances, there are choices if you are considering an abortion. And not only could the life of an unborn child be saved, but your life could be saved and spared traumatic heartbreak, too.

While Planned Parenthood has been in the news a lot as of late, and is often cited as the agency for women to seek assistance when considering abortion, the Bangor area is blessed to offer an alternative- First Step Pregnancy Resource Center. This alternative receives no government funding and exists solely from private donations, and all the services they offer are FREE.
