Includes video. “Kate” is Katie Stack, a 24-year-old pro-choice activist and patients’ advocate at an Ohio abortion clinic, though she gave the counselor a different last name. Stack is also a founder of the Crisis Project, which films undercover video at crisis pregnancy centers like Cleveland’s Womankind and records the often medically suspect advice given there. And Womankind is one of thousands of clinics across the country that seek to dissuade women from having abortions. Unlike many of those centers, which gauzily gloss over whether they’re actually clinics, it actually offers prenatal care from medical professionals, but that doesn’t mean it dispenses accurate information.
Don't miss the shaming...
Ah yes, pro-lie, anti-choice.
Right and abortion clinics always forewarn their patients that an abortion may leave them riddled with guilt for the rest of their lives and that if things go very badly they might never have children or even die.
This is an extremely polarizing and emotional issue. That means that a lot of people let their emotions shut down their ability to think clearly.
After some confusion, the counselor replies inaccurately, “It sounds like the morning after pill. If you have intercourse and then take this pill and it causes a period to come on or something, or bleeding. It’s like having kind of an abortion.” She adds, “That could harm you. It really could harm you … You could hemorrhage from anything like that.”
Quote:
“Why do you have sex? You’re not married.” After saying sex is a responsibility, the counselor adds, “It has consequences and you don’t want to put the consequences on having to harm yourself. And harming yourself would be having an abortion. Or taking the pill after. Because sometimes taking a pill like that could cause more bleeding than what you think. It would only take you to the emergency room and you having to take care of what’s happening.

they already do. and by the time a woman has decided to have abortion, she already knows this.
Why do you anti-choice/anti-women folk, think that women are stupid when it comes to abortions?

You might want to look at the statistics on that.
Pregnancies are extremely more dangerous.
The stats have been posted numerous times.
Here's a few links to back up the bs that post no. 2 spewed.
Funny, the only links that equate the 2 are anti-choice sites. Funny that.
http://healthland.time.com/2011/01/2...to-depression/ Having an abortion has got to be an excruciating decision, no matter where you fall on the abortion-rights spectrum, but a new study shows it does not increase the likelihood of mental-health problems.Contrary to what some anti-abortion activists have claimed, women do not fall victim to depression or post-traumatic stress disorder after having an abortion, concludes a study by Danish researchers published in the New England Journal of Medicine. (More on Time.com: A Gene to Explain Depression)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_814582.html LOS ANGELES — Having an abortion does not increase the risk of mental health problems, but having a baby does, one of the largest studies to compare the aftermath of both decisions suggests.
The research by Danish scientists further debunks the notion that terminating a pregnancy can trigger mental illness and shows postpartum depression to be much more of a factor.
http://www.nydailynews.com/life-styl...ticle-1.154228 While first-time mothers had a lower rate of mental problems overall, the proportion of those seeking help after giving birth was dramatically higher. About 7 per 1,000 women got mental health help within a year of giving birth compared with 4 per 1,000 women pre-delivery.
Same study as quoted in the Huff Post.
They both seem to be clearinghouses.
http://www.guttmacher.org/media/evid...tal-Health.pdf The Big Picture:
For two decades, the highest-quality scientific evidence available has led to the conclusion
that abortion does not cause mental health problems for most women.
• This was the bottom-line conclusion of two major, comprehensive reviews conducted by
the American Psychological Association (APA).

So you are saying that giving a child up for adoption, or raising a child that results from an unplanned pregnancy does not cause life long stress/guilt/depression in some people?

The sex-shaming assumes married woman don't have or want abortions, which is false. Not everyone is open to having a child every time they have sex and being married does not automatically make you any more responsible than being single.
The "morning after pill" - is still an extreme and intrusive thing...who knows what harm a chemical or artificial hormone or what ever it is could do? If you have conceived and all you have is a fertilized egg...getting rid of that egg is technically an abortion....Why are the pro-choice people so interested in a clinic that is pro-life? It's really not any of their business...Pro-choicers have enough people in their ranks...They do not need to convince or recruit any more.
