In today's Times, Dr. Katharine O'Connell calls for faith in women:

Pam Palumbo, director of the Bowie Crofton Pregnancy Center and Medical Clinic, is quoted as saying, "Faith plays the role in what we do here." But crisis pregnancy centers actually function in the absence of faith - in women, that is. I am a doctor, and when a woman comes to me seeking an abortion, I provide her with medically accurate information regarding all options. I then do my best to help the woman come to the decision that is in her best interest, whether it is to have an abortion or to move forward and carry the pregnancy to term. The Bowie center, you report, "distributes leaflets that state there is a link between abortion and a greater risk of breast cancer." But the National Cancer Institute and other groups have concluded that there is no link. By providing women with misinformation, these centers show that they do not trust women to make decisions about their own health care.
