These pregnancy centers instead use purposely vague advertising to target women who may be considering an abortion or inaccurately portray the availability of abortion services, directly interfering with women's access to services. A 2006 study found that up to 87 percent of centers provided false or misleading information on the health effects of abortion in their written materials, websites and counseling. In Maryland, this false information has ranged from linking abortion to breast cancer to claiming that abortion is legal through all nine months of pregnancy. These statements are unscientific and/or inaccurate and may encourage women to delay seeking abortion services until it is too late.
