A Note on Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs)
If you've ever seen an ad with a message such as, "Pregnant and Scared? Free tests," or "Unexpected Pregnancy?" you may have seen an advertisement for a Crisis Pregnancy Center. These are not medical professionals, and they will not give you accurate information about your pregnancy or make your choice any easier. Crisis Pregnancy Centers are fake clinics run by anti-choice employees who will give you information designed to keep you from having an abortion at all costs. They could lie to you about the medical and emotional effects of abortion, show you misleading videos designed to frighten you out of an abortion, or even tell you you are not pregnant when you truly are to trick you into continuing with your pregnancy until abortion becomes more risky. All true family-planning clinics will provide you with unbiased information about all of your options, so if it seems like you are getting one-sided information, you probably are! To avoid this situation, don't schedule an appointment unless you are sure it is with a legitimate medical professional.
