When "non-judgemental" really isn't.

I keep seeing a billboard for this place every morning. It's supposed to be a "non-judgemental" site for grief counseling resources for women who've had an abortion. And on the surface, it is. But once you start poking around, it becomes abundantly clear that it's a heavily biased anti-abortion site. They link to "additional resources" that use incredibly leading language to describe "the truth" about abortion.

Have an opinion? Fine. But don't insist you have no agenda, and then try to sneak it on women who genuinely NEED help without ulterior motives, or someone else heaping guilt on them.

Yeah its biased.

I beat up a Hare Krishna in an airport once for infering I was inferior for not giving him a $25 "donation" for the books he'd just given me. Then when he said that enlightenment was worth more than whatever else that money was going to go for I thanked him and said you know, you're right...and you've just shown me a great deal. For free.

I don't like hare krishnas.

What does that story have to do with your story? Not a whole lot. It's just kind of funny. They pretend to be all peaceful and nice but they put a spin on everything they say. I learned from that encounter to listen behind the words.
Plus...I beat a hare krishna up. I think there's a special part of hell for me.
