Federally Funded Pregnancy Centers Heaping Propaganda

Young women seeking counseling at federally funded pregnancy centers are being subjected to false and misleading propaganda according to a report issued by the House Government Reform Committee. Congressman Henry Waxman says women are being told that there are distinct correlations between abortions and breast cancer, later miscarriages, and post traumatic stress disorder. All those allegations are false and amount to abuse of young women who in vulnerable states.

This is one more example of the rejection of science in favor of political ideology and shows the extent of the politicization of federal programs under George Bush.
