title: Effects of Title X "gag rule" upon women's attitudes towards their healthcare providers.
abstract: 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.
