In February, the BBC released<\/a> its\u00a0investigation<\/a>\u00a0into 57 pro-life pregnancy centers in the UK and the support they offer to women facing unplanned pregnancies. The media giant’s report, however, only promoted common lies regarding these pro-life organizations.<\/p>\n

For the investigation, the BBC contacted the centers, posing as women who wanted to talk about their legal pregnancy options\u00a0\u2014 including induced abortion, which directly and intentionally kills a living human being. Thirty-four of the centers directed the undercover BBC reporter to the NHS website or to an abortionist, while 21 of the centers gave the women advice on abortion.<\/p>\n

The BBC then visited centers to attempt to capture the pro-life organizations manipulating women.<\/p>\n

What it found was that these centers were giving women information on abortion trauma, as well as proven risks of abortion.<\/p>\n

Abortion trauma<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BBC claimed that the centers lie to women about abortion trauma, saying that the condition is not recognized by the NHS. Statements from the pregnancy centers, according to the BBC, include that women can “suffer emotional disturbances,” and “walk out [of the abortion] a different person.” Some staff noted “nightmares” as well.<\/p>\n
