Need a hotel discount? Schedule an abortion.

Complimentary breakfast provided.

From the Christian Newswire, economic incentives for women facing problem pregnancies:

An abortion clinic that performs abortions up to the sixth month of pregnancy has worked out an arrangement with two area hotels to provide substantially discounted room rates for women seeking abortions.

Based on reports from local citizens participating in the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil outside the Cherry Hill Women’s Center, New Jersey Right to Life has confirmed that the Clarion Hotel in Cherry Hill offers a reduced rate of $59 for a room originally priced at $109 to those women who provide a receipt from the clinic that says they have to stay overnight. In addition, the Quality Inn in Maple Shade offers a discounted rate of $74.95 for a room originally priced at $99.99 and a free breakfast of eggs and pancakes for women who present a stamped pamphlet from the clinic.

Every sarcastic comment I could think to make about the importance of eating a balanced breakfast in such a situation struck me as being completely out of place. Also out of place? This group:

Good Counsel Homes, a Catholic agency that assists homeless pregnant women, recently cancelled its banquet at the Clarion upon learning of the hotel’s arrangement with the abortion clinic.

Marie Tasy, Executive Director of New Jersey Right to Life said, “This experience shows us that the Legislature needs to act immediately to place a parental notification constitutional amendment on the ballot without delay.”

Oh no, clearly legislative solutions won't help. Why should parents get involved, anyway? The girls already have found a place to stay, for a good rate, and they even get breakfast as part of the deal.

(that was sarcasm.)
