Forced abortions are preventable: Working to protect the rights of women

It would only take a few minutes for abortion counselors to inquire of a pregnant woman: "Is someone else encouraging you to have this abortion? Do you want this abortion or are you doing it at the request of someone else? Are you feeling pressured to have this abortion by any other person? Are you feeling forced to abort because of violence, fear, threats or pressure? Do you feel any attachment to this pregnancy or any desire to keep it?"

These questions could prevent countless unwanted abortions. These questions can lead to referrals for family and intervention counseling, or shelters from abuse, which could help thousands of women avoid unwanted abortions. These questions can help save lives. But today, abortion providers are free to ignore these questions. And sadly, to save time during patient intake, most do. The UnChoice
