Abortion Marketing Goes High Tech With Cell Phone Texting

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 24, 2009 – Summer's in full swing. Chicagoland women at area beaches and shopping malls should beware — abortion clinics are looking for you.

Women have been targeted in shopping districts, on social networking sites, and now even with cell phones in cities like Chicago via free text messaging sex advice.

Recently, says the Elliot Institute, “programs around the nation are cropping up, encouraging [young women] to send their questions about sex and related issues via text-messages on their cell phones. They then receive anonymous answers and advice from ‘sex experts.’”

“If you take a shower before you have sex, are you less likely to get pregnant?” asks a teen via a text message service sponsored by the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina (APPCNC). She is answered by an online counselor who provides information that is prohibited by some public schools.

The texting service, covered in a story by the New York Times, makes it clear that counselors of such programs promote high-risk hormonal birth control as well as abortion, without the counselor having knowledge of the young woman’s medical history, a necessary part of any quality health care counseling.

Abortion Clinic Marketing

There is no doubt where such services, also offered in Chicago, Washington, D.C.; Toronto, and San Francisco, will send those who ask about abortion. The electronic referral network seems to be well in place to funnel many women toward abortion clinics which may have medical malpractice lawsuits pending against them.

Women should be aware that advice of such services is ultimately coming from those who profit from abortion procedures in some way. The danger of coerced or forced abortion is ever present among those who may feel pressured into making a life-changing decision by those who stand to make a profit on their crisis.
