Getting quality abortion information can be a rather difficult endeavor. Especially with a poor and underserved communities and for teenagers that may fear seeking it out. Much of the information about abortion that is routinely handed out is actually being disseminated by so-called “pro-life” groups masquerading as organizations trying to help young women make the “right choice”.
They have become proficient in using scare tactics and trickery. One such example of their deception is describing their pro-life believes in what looks like informational literature. Whether they care about you or your baby is really suspect. At times it would appear as if they only care about promoting their own agenda.
To get quality abortion information to a group by the name of Planned Parenthood is an excellent place to start. Their sole function is to assist women in making their own intelligent choices, taking advantage of the freedom over their own bodies that the Supreme Court has declared it is their right.
While these anti-abortion groups terrorize women and the doctors that assist them, organizations like Planned Parenthood help out women by giving them good abortion information, as well as information about birth control, and other types of sexual information and they would like to learn more. There is no point subjecting yourself to right wing propaganda, go for reliable, quality information.
I recall having a cousin who at the age of 17 became pregnant unintentionally. The town that she lived in was rather uptight, and didn't have any abortion information that could be of assistance to her. She finally located what was termed as an “abortion counseling” clinic and went there to get abortion information.
What she learned there turned out to really frighten her. They told her that if she were to get an abortion it was likely that she could suffer from complications and maybe even die, that she would regret the decision for the rest of her days, and that her friends and family would find out all about her abortion and disown her out of shame.
Well, as you can imagine this organization had an agenda and it was not about to disseminate abortion information to anyone. Fortunately, because she's a bright girl, she was able to see through their ruse. She and the getting an abortion and as far as I understand does not regret her decision. Her parents never found out about it and it was because of her bully that they would disowned her that she never went to them for help in obtaining abortion information to begin with.
