Reply #9: It all depends on which agencies are sponsoring it

Catholic social service agencies are more likely to provide services to help the moms keep their babies-at least the ones in Detroit do. CSS works with the state in many of their adoptions that involve foster kids, but those adoptions have a lot more oversight than the privately-arranged ones that a lawyer would arrange. Or an adoption handled by a newer "faith-based" agency that doesn't have an established track record in the community.

I have no problem with the crisis pregnancy clinics as long as they are up front about their purpose. It's when they pretend to be abortion clinics to get women in and then try to convince them not to have an abortion that it bugs me. On the other hand, they've been playing these tricks for a long time, long enough that the Yellow Pages lists them separately from abortion clinics. Women do need to read up on clinics before deciding which one to attend, anyways, if they have a lot of options (some women in some areas don't, I understand that).
