Pro-Choice Post-Abortion Counseling Programs
- The Abortion Counseling Conundrum Dana Goldstein | June 30, 2008
"Pro-choice activists have come to embrace the idea that many women who've had abortions can benefit from non-ideological counseling. So why are the groups that provide such counseling having so much trouble raising money?" "Since 2002, Exhale has served 15,000 women on its hotline, and while Emerge is a local group that has reached only a few dozen people, pro-choice groups across the country are using it as a model for new post-abortion counseling services, Madsen says."
