When I talk to people about 40 Days for Life and then tell them my name, most of them do a double-take or make a joke about the fact that I have the same name as the fictional abortionist. (Not to mention the pro-choice Emily's List, "a national organization dedicated to electing pro-choice Democrats to office.") Yes, I tell them, I have to redeem my name!
The fact is, as far as we know there is no Dr. Emily at Dr. Emily's Women's Health Center. "Emily" is just a sweet, classic name chosen to evoke a caring, welcoming atmosphere. It's called marketing. (I mean, no abortion clinic would pick the name "Dr. Lucifer Women's Health Center.")

| Emily vs. Emily |
Speaking of marketing, take a look at the Dr. Emily's two-page, full-color add in the phone book. The backdrop is a picture of a sandy beach and a woman peacefully looking out over the water. It advertises the abortion pill for a "natural, at-home experience" and "gentle [surgical] abortion" with "no-pain anesthesia." Have you ever seen a video of an abortion procedure?? It is incredibly rough and forceful- anything but gentle.
Abortion clinics, which are built on deception, obviously do everything they can to look warm and welcoming. But no amount of euphemistic garbage can cover up the ugly reality: abortion is an intrinsic act of violence which kills children and harms women.
