When Abortion Isn't Chosen Even though abortion is marketed as a woman's choice, studies and surveys indicate that a large number of women are coerced or deceived into having abortions. Coercion comes in many forms. It can come from parents, husbands, boyfriends or others. It can come from circumstances. Often, women in abortion clinics are denied access to the true facts surrounding abortion. Information on fetal development is denied to them. The physical and psychological risks of abortion are glossed over. Alternatives are not discussed, or are presented as being terrible. Many women are not allowed to make an informed choice. Intimidation, coercion, and threats often compel women to choose abortions that they would never have contemplated had the situation been different.
