At least that is what 20 of 23 federally funded pregnancy resource centers have been telling women.
According to a minority report issued yesterday by the House Government Reform Committee, the abstinence based organizations tell women seeking help with unintended pregnancies that abortions can lead to infertility and increased risk in breast cancer and deep psychological trauma.
This information is in direct contradiction to established medical belief and practice according to the report and backed up by the National Cancer Institute.
The centers investigated by the House subcommittee have received more than 30-million dollars in federal funds since 2001.
The report concluded that the exaggerations;
"may be effective in frightening pregnant teenagers and women and discouraging abortion. But it denies the teenagers and women vital health information, prevents them from making an informed decision, and is not an accepted public health practice."
A spokesperson for one of the alleged clinics dismissed the report stating the allegations were nothing new.
These bogus clinics are being funded by my taxes and yours.
We not only have voodoo economics, but the witch doctors have taken over medical clinics for women.
