Text Messaging Prevents Coerced Abortion at Planned Parenthood

Text Messaging Prevents Coerced Abortion at Planned Parenthood: The seventeen-year-old teen sat nervously in the waiting room of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday, October 7, 2010. She was six weeks pregnant and did not want to have an abortion, but her mother had insisted. Suddenly, her phone alerted her to an incoming text message. “Jane, [not her real name] you are a mom! Please choose life for your baby, we want to help you! Tara”

That began a texting conversation that ultimately led to the young mother leaving the abortion clinic with the firm decision to keep her baby.
