Government health website has anti-choice message
The Department of Health and Human Services recently revised its website, 4Parents.gov, and replaced factual data designed to help parents talk about preventing teen pregnancy with biased and misleading claims, including one that says, "Abortions can have complications. There may be emotional consequences, as well: some women say that they feel sad and some use more alcohol or drugs than before."
NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan noted that he website's content is just another link in a long chain of the Bush administration manipulating science in order to spread anti-choice propaganda.
"They've done it again. President Bush and his allies are bent on misleading parents and teens...It is outrageous that the department charged with providing Americans objective information about health is disguising unproven political rhetoric as sound science."
