In a front-page story for the "New York Times Magazine", "Slate" editor Emily Bazelon described the growth of post-abortion counseling ministries around the United States as part of an effort by the anti-abortion movement to outlaw abortion by stressing its purported psychological effects. She describes Reardon as arguing that the anti-abortion movement will "never win over a majority... by asserting the sanctity of fetal life", and therefore should focus on disseminating information that abortion is psychologically harmful to women as a more effective strategy.
