According to am abortion counseling study publicized in David Reardon’s book Aborted Women: Silent No More, out of 252 women who experienced postabortion trauma:
– 66% said their counselors advice was biased
– 40 to 60% described themselves as not having been certain of their decision prior to counseling
– 44% stated they were actively hoping to find an option other than abortion during counseling
– 5% reported that they were encouraged to ask questions
– 52 to 71% felt the questions were inadequately answered, sidestepped, or trivialized
– 90% said they were not given enough information to make an informed decision
– 83% said it was very likely that they would’ve chosen differently if they had not been so strongly encouraged to abort by others, including their abortion counselors
– “95% of women who had abortions at Planned Parenthood said that their Planned Parenthood counselors gave “…little or no biological information about the fetus which the abortion would destroy”
