Funda-Mentalist Christian Pregnancy Counselling
Very quickly for the few of you who might read this before you leave work or whatnot.
There is a picket tomorrow (Sat 21 april) at 12 noon outside a fake pregnancy counselling agency at 50 Upper Dorset st.
It advertises as an agency which will disuss all 3 options.
Once it gets "abortion-minded" women in, they are shown videos, made to hold little plastic foetuses and told outrageous lies about what abortion is and how it affects women.
It uses delay-tactics to prevent women travelling for abortions and has resulted in women being deeply traumatised, and being forced into later-term abortions.
it has an extremely seedy history - including the running of an illegal adoption agency (basically - "you have the baby, we'll take it off your hands"!)
apparently, they have also been known to ring up to cancel women's appointments in abortion clinics.
It is run by people from fundamentalist christian parties that don't believe in extra-marital sex, or in proper sex-education, or in contraception.
Full story: history, this action and previous action
And i see your good friends over at boards have also been discussing the issue.
Come along if you can or tell a friend.
Many thanks
directions:
it's about 5 mins from the top of o' connell st. keep heading straight up, then turn right on dorset st, the agency is on the right a few doors down from a pharmacy.
picket calls for the agency to be shut down permanently and for proper regulation of pregnancy counselling agencies.
