Our Tax Dollars Used to Misinform Pregnant Teens About Abortion As a Choice

Why am I not surprised?

As reported by Think Progress:

“Federally funded pregnancy resource centers often mislead pregnant teens about the medical risks of abortion, telling investigators who posed as pregnant 17-year-olds that abortion leads to breast cancer, infertility, and mental illness,” a new report by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) shows. “87 percent of the centers reached by investigators provided false or misleading information about abortion.”
They also use our tax dollars to misinform teens about the use of condoms, about abstinence, and about how wonderful it would be to get killed fighting in Iraq.
