A CONTROVERSIAL pregnancy helpline established by former health minister Tony Abbott in a bid to reduce the nation's abortion rate has been shunned by women and will now be monitored by the Rudd Government. Figures obtained by The Australian reveal that the $15.5million helpline -- part of a suite of measures introduced by Mr Abbott after he failed to stop the introduction of abortion drug RU-486 -- has neither met government expectations nor assisted more women than a previous, privately run hotline.
