"  Earlier this week, Fund Texan Women, a non-profit &amp;quot;funding practical support and information to Texas women seeking abortions&amp;quot; tweeted a screencap from an alarming message posted on an anti-abortion group&amp;#039;s Facebook page. The post, apparently taken from the &amp;quot;abolitionist&amp;quot; group Abolish Human Abortion&amp;#039;s Facebook page, provided an email address believed to be associated with the Cicada Collective and reads as follows: &amp;quot;[This is] the email address being used by a group backed by Fund Texas Women and Lilith Fund looking for volunteers to shuttle TX women around for abortion appointments. Consider volunteering yourself. I&amp;#039;m not suggesting you actually take a woman to an abortion clinic but it&amp;#039;s a wonderful opportunity to minister to an abortion minded woman for an hour while you DON&amp;#039;T take her to the clinic. And hey even if you can&amp;#039;t change her mind by the time she gets out of your car and realizes she is at a church and not the clinic she&amp;#039;s missed her appointment anyway.&amp;quot; In a nutshell, that&amp;#039;s kidnapping. Kidnapping pregnant women for a stressful hour (or more) of unwanted sermonizing. Which is an awful thing to do. And understandably, outraged pro-choice activists have made the tweet go viral. (It&amp;#039;s been rewteeted over 1,000 times so far this week, as well as shared extensively across blogs and Tumblr.) Abolish Human Abortion&amp;#039;s Facebook page has also been inundated with angry messages. In a statement, the group distanced itself from the message, noting that it had been posted by an outside source: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really kind of sad when you guys are so low on actual arguments against our actual positions that you have to resort to such transparent tactics of attempting to associate us with every opinion posted to our page. We allow people like you to post here [so] clearly not every post to our page is representative of us.&amp;quot; They have\u00A0also alleged that the post might be a fake, created by a pro-choice activist to stir up sentiment against the anti-abortion movement.\u00A0 Writing for the Daily Dot, Gavia Baker-Whitelaw notes that the post functions just as well as a &amp;quot;scare tactic.&amp;quot; Because it&amp;#039;s now been shared so widely, it&amp;#039;s another thing for women contemplating an abortion to consider \u2014 and worry about, particularly in Texas, where access to clinics is already limited.
