This article on Jezebel about Scientology, Sea Org and forced abortion struck me. Read the article and replace nearly every “abortion” word with “adoption”. Startling (or not) the similiarities.
Surely there is handbook somewhere that the massess study to influence a woman to exercise (or not) her own reproductive rights. Can we burn that book these people are reading? Seriously, this excerpt is nearly identifical to my adoption exposure.
I think it’s the handbook on coercion. Take a look at this, from an anti-cult organization: http://www.factnet.org/coercivemindcontrol.html.
Put someone self-righteousness with a sense of mission up against someone scared and alone, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for forced adoption, forced abortion – forced just about anything.
It’s scary.
I found this to be very true. I have had friends who have stated to me that they’d been coerced and / or forced to have an abortion, and there are a lot of similarities. Also, I suggest reading this page, and again, switching out abortion with adoption:

I think all people need to know how any coercion in either abortion or adoption are just wrong.
The Adoption Industry uses the sophisticated marketing techniques of industry and trains their workers in them. Great blog!
