- Let me tell you about the "Women's Health Center" in Robbinsdale, MN. It is
- located in a converted beauty shop across the street from the Women's Health
- Clinic, a bona fide medical facility that offers obstetrical, gynecological
- and pediatric services. There are no licensed medical personnel on staff.
- The services offered include the kind of pregnancy test you can buy in a
- drug store and referrals to adoption agencies. Last summer, pro-liars
- posing as clinic escorts mis-directed female patients to this health center.
- The volunteers used information given by these unfortunate women to inform
- family members and employers that these women were pregnant and seeking
- abortions. They also contacted these women by telephone incessantly,
- entreating them not to terminate their pregnancies.
-
- Would you support a facility that misrepresented itself and gave out
- misleading information?
