Rogue Crisis Pregnancy Agencies in Ireland
The sole purpose of Rogue Crisis Pregnancy Agencies is to prevent women from having abortions. In many instances, they misinform and intimidate women to achieve their aim. Women describe being harassed, bullied, and given blatantly false information.
In the main, Rogue Crisis Pregnancy Agencies are not medical or counselling facilities, and most rogue agency volunteers who work directly with women are not counsellors or care professionals. Their main qualifications are a commitment to anti-choice beliefs. Although Rogue Crisis Pregnancy Agencies historically have not employed medical staff, there is an emerging trend on the part of RCPAs to gain validity by hiring part-time anti-choice medical professionals and purchasing ultrasound equipment.
If you have been in contact with one of these agencies please contact the IFPA pregnancy helpline 1850 49 50 51.
