It must be summer when reporters write stories as lazy and old as this one. This can’t even be considered news, can it? An “exposé” about crisis pregnancy centres in the Star today.

I read with disbelief that she categorizes “emotional trauma” as one of the post-abortive myths. It’s a myth when you are a pro-abortion activist, sure. For the rest of the women out there who have had one, this ain’t no mythical beast. Neither is it mythical in the hard sciences, but pro-abortion people choose to look the other way.

These are people who can’t ever conceive that abortion wouldn’t be right. So when someone highlights that abortion might not always be neutral and easy, they are up in arms.

It is deceitful and harmful to make the claim that abortion is an easy choice. It is deceitful to fail to offer counselling and just let women, young women, teens, walk in and out of abortion clinics. Finally, it is deceitful to ignore the scientific literature decidedly indicating that there are negative side effects.
