Perhaps you've seen these billboards targeted at teenagers and unexpectedly pregnant women going up in downtown Seattle, Ballard, and the International District? They're pimping a website that claims to explore pregnant women's options 'when you need to know.'


Slog tipper Tyler writes, "They are pretty explicitly directed to teenagers who have become unexpectedly pregnant, and while they claim to be addressing all the options fairly, their 'Abortion Stories' page pretty much reads like Christian Pro-Life Dead-Baby-Porn."

It isn't readily apparent from the billboard that Your Options is an anti-choice organization. Their website doesn't mention any religious affiliation, and while it does have an "Abortion Resources" link, they don't actually provide links to any abortion service provider. In fact, the only mention of Planned Parenthood is on the site's Abortion Stories page. Here, you will learn all about pregnant women being coerced or "lied to" by someone—doctor, boyfriend, friend—and driven to Planned Parenthood to take care of their "problem." Forever after, "hearing a baby cry anywhere causes a sudden, sharp pain" in their hearts.

Just for kicks, heres a Dreamy Baby outside of Bauhaus. Please dont abort it, begs ProLife Across America.

The bill that would've held religious pregnancy centers accountable for being honest in their advertising and up front about the services they don't provide—abortion referrals, birth control, comprehensive women's health care—is dead. So these billboards can advertise sites that promote scare tactics to vulnerable women. It's sickening that the legislature failed to pass a measure to fix this problem.


So: If you have a fertile teen, you might consider driving past one of these billboards, explaining its duplicitous nature, and then laying out all of their real options, in full.
