Last weekend, outrage ensued in the wake of a disturbing profile in the Washington Post of anti-choice advocate Jana Pinson, who is building a massive $10 million crisis pregnancy center in south Texas. In one of the more shocking moments in the profile, Pinson explains how pregnant girls who are barely post-pubescent should embrace motherhood.
"I've seen a lot of 13-year-olds do phenomenal" as mothers, Pinson said. "It doesn't have to be a negative thing." The comments went viral on social media, obviously due to the horror of them, as Salon's Amanda Marcotte recently opined. In the profile, Pinson — whose crisis pregnancy center is far from a pipe dream in part thanks to an already purchased plot of land, blueprints, and a vision for a "coffee shop and a thrift store visible from the road" — also explained how she plans to expand their offerings for "abortion reversals."
