Hi guys! I just got an e-mail over the gender and sexuality listserv. I thought its content would be relevant to our stream so here is the jist: anti-abortion clinics in the US have been posing as "pro-choice" and advertising their counseling services to trick or persuade women into carrying out their pregnancies. I'm posting the e-mail with the links to some articles here, but I would strongly encourage you guys to go on http://prochoice.com/ and see how they portray adoption under the pretenses of being pro-choice. As the termination of "an unborn child's" (they mock the use of "embryo" and "fetus" and call these terms "Orwellian" in nature) life in an environment where it feels "safe" and I believe they used the word "happy". They also call abortion "murder" and use all kinds of gruesome terms to describe it.
I was shocked not at the existance of such groups, but at their posing as "pro-choice" impartialites. Here is the e-mail:
"Here are some articles about Anti Abortion Crisis Centers and also some names of AACC nearby, just so you can see that they are right here around us. Best, Sophie

I think regardless of your stance on the abortion rigthts pro-life pro-choice issue, you will agree with me that women should not be duped or coerced into making decisions they do not want to make.
