Weep for post-America. Again I ask, how long ago would it have been that enough people would have considered this horrific that it would have never happened?
The abortion movement is going upscale: a new Maryland abortion clinic in Friendship Heights called Carafem attempts to make women who want an abortion feel like they're attending a spa, with tea, robes, and plush furniture.
Not only that, Carafem wants women wanting an abortion to feel just dandy about the procedure, guilt-free, with its ads scheduled for metro stations in the area proudly proclaiming, “Abortion. Yeah, we do that.”The logical conclusion of all-about-me-ism.
Carafem President Christopher Purdy blustered to The Washington Post, “We don’t want to talk in hushed tones. We use the A-word.” Planned Parenthood spokesman Eric Ferrero said that his organization’s attempts to reach people on the fence about abortion should be augmented with another approach, echoing, “We also need to be unapologetic and bold.” In the last four years, the number of Planned Parenthood chapters on college campuses has skyrocketed from 70 to 250.
All Carafem will offer is the abortion pill, not vacuum aspiration or surgery, and clients must be pregnant for ten weeks or less. The lucky women will take a pill in an appointment that will last less than an hour, then given a second set of pills, which will trigger the abortion, likely within six hours. Not only will the lucky women save time, they will save money; Purdy will charge $400, while the average pharmaceutical abortion in 2011 cost about $500 in the United States.
Another perk for the abortion client: wood floors and wood tone on the walls. “It was important for us to try to present an upgraded, almost spa-like feel,” said Purdy, boasting, “It’s fresh, it’s modern, it’s clean, it’s caring. That’s the brand we’re trying to create.”
