Dueling Abortion Ads-Laws, Lies and Videotape
Submitted by Jill Stanek on Aug 4, 2009
The cleverly named pro-abortion group National Advocates for Pregnant Women has become alarmed at the number of personhood initiatives popping up in various states.
So it has produced 4 attack ads attempting to show how giving preborn babies legal status as persons usurps pregnant mothers' legal rights, forcing them through the courts to maintain pregnancies even if doing so kills them and forcing them to deliver babies via c-section against their will, etc.
The latest American Life League video report shows the ads, dissecting their lies and adding doses of truth. This report shows how pro-aborts twist, turn, and omit factual details to make their false points....

Rebutting the red-shirted man case by case.
Case #1) Amber Marlowe. Redshirtman asserts that the decision was a legal one only. According to the sole source he gives, http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/19/health/main618535.shtml , there is no mention of that idea entering into the hospital's legal decisionmaking. In fact, Wilkes-Barr hasn't responded to NBC or the AP's request for comment at all. Did they talk to this guy?
Case #2) He's making a lot of assertions about this women, whom he's never spoken to, nor cites where he's getting this information.
Case #3) Once more, he asserts something without giving a source. And if his assertion were true, it's the hospital that's to blame, after not properly discharging her before she left. Who avoids a lawsuit by going to a woman's house with a sherrif and forcing the C-section anyways? Wouldn't bringing a discharge form to the woman be sufficient?
Case #4) Nothing in this video is relevant at all to the charge of murder . It's just putting a picture of a woman in jail on, saying that she was doing drugs and making sound effects. "BUT DID YOU KNOW THIS WOMAN DID DRUGS?!?" is not a counter to the claim of what happened to her is wrong.
National Advocates for Pregnant Women has created a point-by-point rebuttal to American Life League's claims:

Here's the summary:
Judie Brown, president and founder of the American Life League (ALL), claims in a commentary entitled Life of the Mother or Lies of Big Brother, that our video is a "fairy tale," and ALL's glitzy video response, Laws, Lies and Videotape purports to "point out half truths and outright lies" in our work. Through these efforts ALL intends to provide a defense of Personhood Measures. Instead, what ALL provides is a defense of court orders forcing pregnant women to have cesarean surgery against their will, and the arrest of pregnant women who are not compliant with their doctor's wishes.
I'm still waiting for you to respond to the assertion that you put a fraudulent picture up of a fetus.
Although I guess you know a lie when you see one. What with your experience at it and all.
Frankly, I'm a little disappointed to see you poison the well. That is a little low for you.
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.
I'm disappointed in me too. I'm just so very angry at Stanek and her hypocrisy. It's the rage typing.
