Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) are places that masquerade as health clinics, misinform people about their medical options, and try to prevent people from getting abortions, often from an anti-choice, heavily Christian, and anti-feminist view.
CPCs are often not medical facilities or health clinics; their staff is often not medical professionals. CPCs try to intimidate and mislead people into parenting and adoption routes rather than abortion: they provide partial or misleading information and they do not provide patients with a full range of services and information for reproductive health care.
CPCs often establish an office or mobile van near actual abortion clinics in an effort to intercept those patients.
Here are some articles and videos about CPCs and how to identify them:
