Caution
Some groups opposed to abortion offer pregnancy counseling using misleading language to make you think you will get accurate information on all your choices and rights. Their purpose is to talk you out of the option of abortion, and to do so they may use false information about the effects of abortion, ignore your rights, and apply religious pressure. Such groups include Birthright, the Crisis Pregnancy Centre and Pro Life BC, which is using an "OptionsBC" web site to disguise its agenda.
