How dangerous is this anti-abortion site?
Obviously it’s fraudulent and unscientific, but is it dangerous for any woman who gets suckered in?

I really question how many women will be taken in, because studies have shown that women who have abortions very rarely regret their decision. Getting to the point of acquiring abortion medication involves some effort, and I can't believe many would take the first dose and then suddenly change their minds. (Of course, even one person being harmed by this is one too many, but I just wanted to point out how rare changing one's mind about an abortion at the last minute actually is.)
I think efforts like this are based on the false beliefs held by many forced birthers that no woman really wants to have an abortion, that abortion is extremely harmful and dangerous, and that many women who have abortions suffer serious mental health issues due to feelings of guilt and regret. (Forced birthers call this last item "post-abortion syndrome" or "post-abortion stress syndrome," and insist that it is extremely common, despite the fact that it is not a recognized medical condition by any major mental health organization.)
Because of these beliefs, forced birthers think most women about to have an abortion are deeply conflicted and many would probably change their minds about getting an abortion with the "right" kind of persuasion. That's the main reason they demonstrate outside abortion clinics; they actually think yelling "please don't kill your baby" at people might change someone's mind. 
This is also the reason for a lot of laws that have been passed, like requiring multiple clinic visits with a waiting period in between, or trying to force women to look at an ultrasound of their pregnancy. When Roe was in effect and states couldn't ban abortions outright, forced birthers focused on getting those kinds of laws passed, out of a hope that "surely these poor misguided women would not go through with this terrible thing if they only knew the 'truth,' were forced to take more time to think about it, etc." (Of course, they also wanted to make abortion as inconvenient as possible, but they also hoped to get a lot of women to change their minds about having an abortion.)
Most of the tactics used by so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" are based on the same kinds of beliefs. Forced birthers have no compunction about giving women erroneous information about the supposed "dangers" of abortion, creating unnecessary delays, or lying to them them that the ultrasound shows they're too far along, because they really believe they are doing women a big favor every time they keep one of them from getting an abortion.
Imo, the misinformation on this website has that same flavor of "either change the woman's mind or create enough delay that she won't be able to get an abortion until it's too late." I think the people behind something like this probably believe it for the most part, but they also believe if they can prevent a woman from getting an abortion by fair means or foul, she will thank them later.
Sorry to go on at such length. When I feel as strongly about something as I do about this, I can go on forever!
