In a book entitled “Abortion and Health Care Ethics” a pro-choice activist says:
“Health care professionals bear a responsibility for communicating realistic information about abortion to women in their care. They should assume responsibility for dispelling old wives tales about the harmful effects of the procedure. Informed consent is a necessary ingredient of care, but as with any other procedure, the individual client and are characteristic should be evaluated before deciding just what is informed consent. Communicating information can be punitive or supportive.”

This philosophy leaves the door open for practitioners to “tailor” information for the desired effect.
