What was not shown in the video was all the times the counselor brought up prenatal care. Adoption was also mentioned by the counselor, but Lila chose not to include all this since she was presenting the myth that Planned Parenthood encourages abortion based on gender. Many times the counselor sat there with an expressionless face as Lila went on and on about not wanting another girl. Each time she brought the discussion back to seeing a doctor. A counselor's role is to be non-judgemental and that is what was being promoted by Planned Parenthood. I commend people who are passionate about a cause, but misrepresenting what really went on in that room is not the way to go.

Hhmm...well, the counselor was tripping over herself somewhat to be "non-judgmental" so she had to keep referring to the sex of the "pregnancy," not the sex of the "baby." Yet, "pregnancies" don't have a sex -- babies do. I think the counselor was uncomfortable, and that is the point -- she SHOULD have been. There is no virtue in being non-judgmental when a person's life is at stake. We must ALWAYS err on the side of life.

From Townhall Magazine's June feature, "A New Civil Rights Heroine," by Dan Gainor:

She’s a 5’4”, sweet 23-year-old who could easily look much younger with little effort. She’s also the bane of the pro-death crowd that wants abortion on demand—so much so that they’ve hit her, called her everything from a “b****” to a “c***” and more....
