Pregnancy Help Australia one of the “no choice” national telephone pregnancy counselling services has closed. Clearly, Pregnancy Help did not think that there was enough business to go around. Pregnancy Help is a member of the Australian Federation of Pregnancy Support Services with clear pro-life, anti-choice links. I rang their national number 1300139313 and was advised that while they had closed, I could be referred to agency in my own State. The referral was to Birthline. Birthline was set up by the SA Right to Life and to this day are proud to say that “they never refer for abortion” publicly. It might be worth noting this in relation to clients. I will check with Sensis if Pregnancy Help are able to advertise in the Health and Help pages of the nation’s telephone directories, and keep an activel line referring clients to other providers with out transparency.
please before you refer people on to so called 'advice service - or counselling services' make sure that they counsel in ALL options
