Fake "Pregnancy counselling services" deceive Aussie women

Weez at Machine Gun Keyboard tells you all you need to know about the law currently waiting to go before parliament that will stop this government-funded scam.

This scam has been imported here from the US anti-abortion activists, where pregnant women phone for advice and are told lies about the effects of abortion and the service refuses to refer them to any clinic that does give accurate abortion advice.

These services exploit a loophole in the false advertising laws because they don't charge for their services. The law to go before Parliament seeks to close that legal loophole.
