listen.

isn't it up to women to decide if they want to go to a crisis centre or an abortion clinic? why would you go to a christian help group if you want an abortion? and, if the implication is that these women can't figure it out, isn't that demeaning and paternalistic?

i just don't know how this even became a debate.

activists are better off using more hands-on methods to intervene in abusive situations than they are in getting the state to order religious groups to hand out pamphlets; the bigger issue is getting people away from abusive institutions in the first place.
