The spokesperson said signs of a “disingenuous” service include a delay in giving pregnancy test results, advice and supports that do not include information on abortion services, and “the use of negative or frightening language”. People experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, or in need of post-abortion support, can find a list of regulated services via the HSE’s My Options website.As part of its online awareness campaign, the My Options website appears as the top ad for searches related to crisis pregnancy. The website had 667,528 visits in 2021.
“IFPA clients who have inadvertently engaged with these groups have found the experience extremely distressing.” “Our research shows that the majority of people do not know how to access an abortion, so there is significant harm caused when pregnant people encounter rogue crisis pregnancy agencies. Pregnant people are prevented from, or significantly delayed in, accessing the timely abortion care they need.
A review into abortion services in Ireland is currently underway. The Department of Health commenced a public consultation last month, allowing members of the public and advocacy groups to submit their views. The closing date for responses is the close of business on 1 April. The operation of the Act is required to be reviewed after three years. The review is to be overseen by an independent chair but campaigners have expressed repeated concerns about the delay in announcing the chair.
Hungry Timmy 'works' for them doesn't he?
Name them.
A number of these services have profiles on social media and also advertise with stickers and posters in Dublin and other locations. A spokesperson for the HSE said it is “aware and monitoring the situation in relation to disingenuous agencies operating in Ireland”.

Monitoring! That's reassuring. Not.
Yes. Absolute rogues. Radicals even. How dare they!
