Abortion activists recently unveiled chatbot ‘Charley’ quick to offer women one-track advice.

WASHINGTON — Meet the abortion lobby’s latest technique for circumventing limitations on access to abortion: “Chatbot Charley.”

For a vulnerable woman considering her options after discovering an unplanned pregnancy, an internet search can often be a starting point. But rather than offering more direct access to counselors or medical professionals for women during this difficult time, abortion advocates recently launched the abortion chatbot Charley, offering automated answers that can direct a woman to get an abortion by mail without ever talking to another person.

A “conversation” with the chatbot sends women to abortion-pill websites, even if they are beyond the gestational age at which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says they can be safely used, advises women and minors on how to circumvent state abortion laws, and tells women that pro-life pregnancy centers that offer alternatives to abortion are “fake clinics” designed “to prevent pregnant people from getting abortion care.”

According to the bot’s website, Charley was “created to help people in every zip code understand their abortion options” and is a “private and secure chatbot that provides users with personalized abortion options, including information about different abortion care methods, nearby clinics, accessing abortion pills, and referrals to support services. It's a user-friendly, judgment-free, and confidential tool designed by abortion experts for abortion seekers.”
