Women seeking abortions ‘manipulated’ by false medical information at crisis pregnancy centres

Women are being given false medical information

Women are being “manipulated” and given false medical information with no scientific basis by crisis pregnancy centres, an investigation has found.

A BBC Panorama documentary discovered more than a third of crisis pregnancy advice centres are providing those seeking abortions with false information and unethical guidance about pregnancy terminations.

Such erroneous advice included falsely connecting abortion with breast cancer.
