Misinformation

It is true that everyone deserves a choice. Whether it be abortion or not. In light of that fact, it is also important that anyone who believes they can alert people to other options be aware that they are responsible for giving them all the facts about that option. I personally believe that the way the CPC is going about this is manipulative and wrong. Not only are they giving misinformation about connections to breast cancer and future pregnancies, but they are also terrifying women who may not have the capacity or ability to have a child at that moment. Or, a worse scenario is that the woman in question was raped and could end up dealing with more emotional stress and mental instability from carrying a child that is linked to a horrifying event in her life.

In the end, the CPC should be stopped for their agenda to scare women into a choice. It reeks of the current administration in the White House. Scare tactics don't generally work on the entire population so hopefully this won't last long.
