Revealed: Top UK Abortion Clinic Paid Bonuses for Encouraging Abortions

Society for the Protection of Unborn Children : Oct 27, 2017  LifeSiteNews

The report said women who had decided not to have an abortion—and were less than five and a half weeks pregnant—"were being called and offered a later appointment." Inspectors found evidence that this was a policy across all 70 Marie Stopes clinics in the UK.

(United Kingdom) — [LifeSiteNews] Britain's Care Quality Commission has published a new inspection report on the Marie Stopes clinic in Maidstone, Kent, that reveals a catalogue of abuses and safety violations as well as a "culture that worked against patient choice." (Photo Credit: LifeSiteNews)

They offered her counselling at 1 p.m. the same day. "When I asked them to cancel the appointment for the abortion as I only wanted counselling, they told me it was best to keep it in place because I didn't know what my decision would be and that I might not be able to get another in time as they were very busy & fully booked. I cancelled the whole thing, including counselling, as I felt I might end up being pressurised. They then rang me back, at work, about a week later to check I didn't need another appointment. They rang me at home too…
