The argument clearly made by this article is that public health information should be based on what people are comfortable hearing and not on scientific evidence. Sounds like the same stale argument we've been hearing from the AIM companies forever. I doubt we will see this change for a very long time, b/c too many women believe that having a "choice" can only exist if they can believe that both "options" are equal. The only way they can believe that in this case is if they are actively lied to. The fact is women do have a choice--they have the right to pick the risky option.
