An anonymous Planned Parenthood worker called in to a Christian radio show asking if God could ever forgive her for working in an abortion facility. The radio show host, Dr. Michael Brown, assured her that God would forgive her but urged her to immediately quit her job.
One of the things the Planned Parenthood employee spoke to Brown about was the type of “counseling” women received at her facility. She said:
We have a process before [women are] even taken back to see a physician where we go over options, but it’s just very quick, like, you know your options are… To carry the fetus to term, give it for adoption, or have an abortion. Are you sure about your decision? That’s the extent that it goes.
Legally, the facility must ask women if they want to see an ultrasound. Some women refuse to look. Others do, and decide against abortion. But because they leave with their problems unaddressed, they often come back later. They may be poor, abandoned by their boyfriends or families, unable to find a place to live, alone, and frightened of the future. Planned Parenthood does nothing to help the woman when she decides to carry to term. They only do abortions. Women who choose against abortion are pushed out the door. They are on their own.
But I feel that they should spend more time going over options and maybe giving out pamphlets, because we have a lot of local people that will help, a lot of pro-life people. We have protesters and things like that and I know the term “protester” sounds negative but our protesters are actually really nice people – I buy them hot chocolate. They’re not bad people and they’re willing to tell them where things are, but we just brush it over.

Pregnancy resource centers, on the other hand, work to address the problems in the pregnant woman’s life. They provide everything from housing to baby items to free diapers and maternity clothes, to referrals for medical care. They walk with the woman through her pregnancy and help her as best they can with all her needs.Not only does Planned Parenthood not help women who choose against abortion, staff refuse to send them to people who can help. The Planned Parenthood worker says:

Even though help is right outside the facility, women leave without being able to access any of the services and support pro-lifers can offer.
