The Nation has recently run an article in which they criticize Bethany Christian Services.For those who don’t know, Bethany is the largest adoption agency in the U.S. As its name suggests, it is a Christian organization that attempts to dissuade women from having abortions and put the children, should they be unwanted, up for adoption. Just for full personnel disclosure, my wife and I considered using Bethany when we were having problems getting pregnant.
The article also targets crisis pregnancy centers, “the nonprofit pregnancy-testing facilities set up by antiabortion groups to dissuade women from having abortions.”
The gist of the article is that Bethany and other similar agencies coerce women into choosing adoption instead of abortion, and then keep them isolated where they can’t discuss any other options. Once the child is born, the birth mothers are basically abandoned with little support for the psychological trauma that often accompanies giving a child up for adoption.
To me, the article seemed to be an anti-Christian hit piece, but I’d like to know your opinions as well. Please leave a comment
