Magazine uses social media to teach girls how to get abortion without parental knowledge

Teen Vogue have been social media to encourage children to have abortions without parental knowledge.

The magazine is directed towards teenage girls and it was found to be using the social media platform ‘Snapchat’ to instruct teenagers about how to obtain an abortion without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

The founder of the Canadian pro-life group Choice42, Laura Klassen, shared a post on Facebook which included screenshots from Snapchat.

In the images, Teen Vogue tells teens, “Having access to abortion should be your right, regardless of your parents’ beliefs. Unfortunately, not every state legislature agrees…” and then goes on to instruct teens how best to avoid their parents.

“You know your parents best, and if you feel their reactions might be hostile, you should act accordingly,” says another Snap. “Regardless, it’s always best to tell your parents as long as you feel safe. No matter what your parents’ abstract views are, they might behave far more tenderly when their own child needs access to abortion care.”

In reaction to these images many asserted their parental right as primary educators of their children to know and be involved in such intrusive procedures, and pointed out that abortion is not medicine, because pregnancy is not a disease.

Abortion is available in England and Wales to children from under the age of 16 without parental knowledge or consent, if they are thought to understand the nature and consequences of abortion.

Spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Catherine Robinson said:

“This should be a real wake up call for many parents. It remains unclear to what extent targeted promotion of abortion to teenage girls via social media is taking place. Even if it is not currently happening, there is no reason to think it cannot or will not.”

“At the very least, it remains grossly irresponsible for Teen Vogue to attempt to encourage teenagers to have abortions, particularly without the knowledge or consent of their parents.”

to protect vulnerable lives

Help stop three major anti-life threats.

Help fight major assisted suicide and abortion up to birth threats.

Dear reader,

Despite the Leadbeater assisted-suicide Bill passing its Third Reading on 20 June, it scraped through by just 23 votes (314-291) after enjoying a 55-vote majority at Second Reading. Had 12 more MPs switched sides, the Bill would be dead. It now limps into the Lords with a wafer-thin majority, where peers can amend, delay or reject it outright.

THE CHALLENGE

Dignity in Dying, My Death My Decision and Humanists UK have poured millions into pushing assisted suicide and will fight hard to stop the Lords overturning the Bill.

At the same time, the Antoniazzi abortion-up-to-birth amendment, passed by MPs in June, also heads to the Lords. If it becomes law, it would no longer be illegal for women to perform their own abortions for any reason – including sex-selective purposes – and at any point up to and during birth.

We will be up against the UK’s largest abortion providers, BPAS and MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes), who are expected to push for even more extreme changes to our abortion laws in the Lords.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Thousands of vulnerable lives are now at stake. Battling these two threats is the biggest and most expensive effort in our history, and has drained our limited resources. To fight effectively on both fronts, we aim to raise £200,000 by midnight this Sunday (13 July 2025).

Every donation, large or small, will help protect lives, and UK taxpayers can add 25p to every £1 through Gift Aid at no extra cost.

Will you make a donation now to help protect vulnerable lives from these major threats?
