By Kellee Terrell

…d Parenthood was nothing more than a for-profit slaughterhouse driven by a dollars-per-abortion mentality; that clinics create more business by pressuring young girls into getting same-day abortions; or that standards are so lax that workers with no medical training are dragooned into assisting in abortions.
