Papa Jack replies:
That is very different from what I've heard, Jeff.

Please help us by providing the specific sources of your information.

Have you visited a CPS yourself?

What is a "fundie?"

How do they go about "harrassing" and "intimidating" girls?  They
normally do offer specific information on the pros and cons of
abortions techniques -- the truth is a bit gruesome, as you know.

You don't think PP is one-sided?  Come on -- that's a streach.
They provide more abortions per year than any other organization
in the U.S..  They are a chop shop.
