NC pro-life pregnancy clinics mislead women, try to convert them to Christianity

[cleanhippie]

NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina reports that this week, the so-called "Woman’s Right to Know” Act goes into effect, and it includes a provision that the state must list anti-abortion "crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) on a website for women seeking abortion care.

A study released October 24 from NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina Foundation (NPCNCF) shares results from a yearlong undercover investigation of 66 of 122 of these centers operated by anti-choice organizations. The report, "The Truth Revealed: North Carolina’s Crisis Pregnancy Centers,” uncovers a disturbing pattern of deceptive and misleading practices at these unregulated centers.

More than two-thirds of all North Carolina CPCs (44 CPCs) provided medically inaccurate information. Of these, 32 will receive funding through the "Choose Life" license plate program.

Investigators were told medical inaccuracies including, "The AIDS virus is smaller than the holes in condoms," and "30 percent of women attempt suicide after an abortion."

In total, 61 out of 66 facilities did not report any medically trained or medically supervised personnel on staff.

Even in the rare cases of centers that are overseen by medical professionals, there are no regulations in place to ensure that confidentiality is protected and that women will receive medically accurate information and services that meet an appropriate standard of care with respect to all reproductive health options.

1. More Lying for the Lord

Deceiving and potentially harming women is OK because they're doing what they consider "God's work". :puke:

3. The anti-abortion crusade is one of the most difficult things for apologist to defend.

It's completely evil, and there's really no way one can argue that it isn't caused by religion. There's some room for back and forth on other issues, but the anti-abortion thing is completely predicated on the fanciful notion of the soul. It's hard to argue with when I suggest that maybe the world would be better off without this whole "religion" thing.
