FEARS are held for the safety of women in Texas after an anti-abortion group infiltrated a pro-choice volunteering service, with the aim of kidnapping women to change their minds on abortion.

A post circulating on Facebook released the email of a volunteer group within The Cicada Collective, an "autonomous community-centred group of reproductive justice organisers located in North Texas".

According to the post, the Collective was looking for volunteers to "shuttle TX women around for their abortion appointments" and called for anti-choice campaigners to apply, undercover, in a bid to lure the women away.

It then urges the undercover guises to instead ferry the women to a Church to delay the abortion and ultimately, change her mind.

"I'm not suggesting you actually takea (sic) woman to an abortion clinic," it reads.

"It's a wonderful opportunity to minister to an abortion minded woman for an hour while you DON'T take her to the clinic."

"And hey if you can't change her mind by the time she gets out of your car and realises she is at church and not the clinic she's missed her appointment anyway".

It wasn't long before it was seen by the Cicada Collective, who described the post as a "horrifying".

The group blamed for the post, Abolish Human Abortion, have been defending themselves against angry users.

"We deny that we support it," they posted in response to one user.

"Kidnapping and abortion are wrong for the same reasons, they both violate the inherent rights and dignity of other human beings."

Texas has had its fair share of abortion controversies of late, with the Senate approving a bill with some of the strictest limits on abortion in the United States.

The pro-life bill, House Bill 2, went into effect on October 29, banning abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy. A dozen abortion clinics are also set to close because hospitals in their district have failed to respond to requests for admittance privileges, also now a requirement.

Approximately 80,000 Texan women undergo abortions every year. There will now be 20 facilities in a state of 26 million people.

This really alarmed us this morning. Just one reminder that getting an abortion in Texas can be very dangerous. pic.twitter.com/bdHCZ3F3lM — Fund Texas Women (@FundTexasWomen) November 10, 2013
