A new report released by Rep. Henry Waxman shows that federally funded "pregnancy resource centers" mislead young women about abortion. Not exactly shocking news, but it's frigging great to have some backup to what feminists have been talking about for a while.

This is so cool: Investigators went to 23 different anti-choice centers, pretending to be pregnant 17 year-olds. The investigators were told that abortion leads to breast cancer, infertility, and mental illness.

The report also found that 87 percent of the centers--which have received over $30 million in federal funding--provided false or misleading information about abortion.

But as we all know, young women are so much better off with false, misleading, and dangerous information. Cause otherwise they might make informed decisions. (Shudder.)
