The claims, which have been revealed by an undercover reporter for the Daily Telegraph, saw the reporter pose as a woman asking about a termination. She was then told about the different risks involved, such as nightmares, tremors and seizures.
The footage continues to be recorded, as the adviser goes on to say: "There's also an increased statistical likelihood of child abuse.
"When you have a child you have natural maternal instincts towards the child and there are also natural barriers that surround the child that you don't cross.
"In order to have an abortion you have to break through both those sets of barriers, basically, and some people can find it hard to put them back in place."
When the undercover reporter asks: "So as a woman I would be more likely to abuse the child?"; the adviser replied: "I'm not saying it's many people. Obviously it's low percentage but there seems to be a correlation between the two."
"What kind of abuse, like sexual abuse?" the reporter asks.
"Yes...I think because it can really confuse relationships with children," is the response she is given.
The comments are understood to have been made at the Central London Crisis Pregnancy Centre (CLWC).
Crisis pregnancy centres (CPCs) are a group of unregulated outlets across the UK that promote themselves as confidential advisory services for women who are trying to come to terms with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy.
Responding to the report, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) said that abortion services "should provide up-to-date information about the common physical symptoms and possible complications of an abortion."
It added, however, that such information should be "evidenced-based and objective."
In its statement, the RCOG continued: "The findings of the latest Brook report show that there is wide variation across the country over the quality of information provided at some counselling centres with instances of inaccurate and biased information given to women.
"The RCOG believes that Clinical Commissioning Groups have a duty to ensure that pregnancy counselling services contracted follow national guidelines. It is important to ensure that impartial, non-judgemental advice is provided to women at this difficult time."
The Telegraph is believed to have launched its investigation into CPCs after it received information that certain centres were providing women who were considering a termination inaccurate medical advice.

Concerns Raised Over Pregnancy Centre Advice
An investigation has revealed that women attending a crisis pregnancy centre in London have been told that having an abortion can make them more likely to abuse children they may have at a later stage.The claims, which have been revealed by an undercover reporter for the Daily Telegraph, saw the reporter pose as a woman asking about a termination. She was then told about the different risks involved, such as nightmares, tremors and seizures.
