Since many women report being coerced to abort, are you willing for abortion clinics being required to take steps to ensure women are making the decision to abort freely and without pressure from others?

Also how about punishing abortion clinics that counsel underage mothers to lie about the identity of the man who got them pregnant?

In a national study of women, 64% of those who aborted felt pressured to do so by others.1 This pressure can become violent. 2 65% suffered symptoms of trauma.1 In the year following an abortion, suicide rates are 6-7 times higher.
.......
It would only take a few minutes for abortion counselors to inquire of a pregnant women: "Is someone else encouraging you to have this abortion? Do you want this abortion to satisfy your own needs or are you looking to do this to please someone else? Are you feeling pressured to have this abortion by any other person? Do you feel any attachment to this pregnancy or any desire to keep it?"
..........
Whenever they fail to screen for coercion or other risk factors, they are neglecting their obligation to their patients .....

Profit-driven clinics, high-pressure “counseling.” Many abortion “counselors” are not licensed counselors. Some are trained to “sell” abortions and ease women’s concerns so they will be more likely to abort, thus increasing clinic profits.(9)
