Summary
A new study highlights how crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) strategically position near abortion clinics to intercept patients, with some women in Illinois accidentally visiting CPCs instead of Planned Parenthood locations.
CPCs, which aim to dissuade women from seeking abortions, outnumber abortion clinics 3-to-1 nationwide, a gap likely widened since Roe v. Wade’s reversal.
CPCs often receive taxpayer funding, especially in states with restrictive abortion laws. Meanwhile, abortion clinics face funding shortages, threatening access to broader health services.
Advocates warn CPCs contribute to misinformation and health risks for women seeking care.
“Come here and tell us you’re pregnant so we can tell the state. So if you get an abortion we can have you thrown in prison.”
They’re going for the death penalty next.
A CPC is literally next to the Planned Parenthood in the town where I grew up.
And since it’s Indiana, the Planned Parenthood is a lot less effective than it used to be.
Of course they do. The Planned Parenthood near me is back behind some things, and the access road in front does not have a sidewalk on either side. This means that “protesters” have to stand off of the street and on private property. So some bullshit CPC opens on that land to allow shitbags to legally congregate outside the Planned Parenthood.
I live on a hill. At the bottom of the hill is the last abortion clinic left in my state. Right next to it is one of these crisis pregnancy centers. If I were a woman coming from out of town for abortion consultation it would be probably fifty-fifty if I walked into the correct building.
More disgusting shit from religious fanatics.
