Effects of Title X "gag rule" upon women's attitudes towards their healthcare providers.
79 women were randomly assigned to conditions in which they received pregnancy counseling including abortion information or excluding abortion information (with or without a reminder of the "gag rule"). Subjects not given abortion information viewed their caregivers as more biased, less competent, less empathetic, and holding anti-abortion views compared to those receiving such information. Those not given abortion information but reminded of the "gag rule" viewed their caregivers with relative dislike and mistrust.
