Massachusetts Women’s Health Center Actually a Fake Abortion Clinic, Says Watchdog Group
By: Marie Solis, Newsweek, November 10, 2017
A Massachusetts health clinic is posing as an abortion provider to deliberately deceive women into not terminating pregnancies, a pro-choice group claims.
The Attleboro Women’s Health Center does not provide abortions, but rather uses underhanded tactics in attempts to prevent them, according to the Campaign for Accountability, which filed a complaint on Thursday with the state’s attorney general.
The health center’s website prominently features headings on the “abortion pill” and “surgical abortion,” includes extensive information on both pregnancy-terminating methods and offers the option of making an appointment at the top of the page. The site even includes price estimates for abortion procedures and advertises free abortion consultations. Users have to scour the site to find out that it actually does “not offer, recommend or refer for abortions or abortifacients.”
