Preflection Activity
Over half of women seeking an abortion made the choice the same day they received a positive pregnancy test, and 75% of women did so within a week[1]. However, an increasing number of women facing unintended pregnancy are turning to the internet for answers, and it is important that you as a physician, are aware of the information, derived from either fact or emotion, that your patients will read.
Provided below, in no particular order, are 8 web sites which deal directly with abortion. Some are from pro-life organizations, and others are from pro-choice organizations.
