19. Every business or agency uses euphemisms
to make it sound better or friendlier or softer than it is. I'd have to say that any woman who is not aware that "Crisis Pregnancy Center" is not a dumbed-down way of saying, "We favor abortion alternatives" probably would likely be easy to fool by a boyfriend that would cause her to consider visiting there.

Abortion clinics don't use the word "abortion" in their names, either. It's all part of the dance we do around the subject.
