When looking at this screen shot of the National Right to Life’s site, it is painfully (no pun intended) obvious where they stand on the issue of Abortion. In addition, I see their stance on a woman’s right to choose what happens to her body is not in alliance with the individual’s right to choose. In choosing this side of the fence, they are clearly aligning Planned Parenthood with only one option: abortion. When in fact, Planned Parenthood is more than a clinic whose sole purpose is to abort gestating lives. What of the women whose bodies were violated and seeds planted against their will? It seems they are saying that women who suffer from these abhorrent crimes are forced to live with all the consequences. I see this site as problematic for the aforementioned reasons. Only allying with the right to life seems to omit the right to choose. How can one live if they are not allowed to dictate what happens to their own being? Many people of impoverished communities, namely people of color use Planned Parenthood for more than a convenient abortion clinic, as they serve in the capacity of preventative care. Care for all in need.

Politically speaking, who is their target audience? Aside from informing, what is their ultimate goal? The eradication of Planned Parenthood entirely? Or merely the ending of a specific practice?
