In 2018, the US Supreme Court ruled that CPCs are not obligated to disclose that they are not medically licensed facilities or to provide information about abortion access.

A group of mostly Christian non-profit organizations in the U.S., called crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), often misrepresents medical facts relating to abortion, according to medical experts who have studied them. Unfortunately, this ideal may not represent reality. And, given that the anti-abortion movement has picked up momentum in recent years (as evidenced by a number of ongoing supreme court cases), it is vitally important that the spread of abortion-related information is accurate and can facilitate informed and responsible decision making. No matter where you stand on the moral, religious, and ethical issues surrounding abortion, we all stand to lose if scientific facts are distorted to influence our decision about any medical procedure, including abortion.
Unfortunately, for many women, access to accurate facts about pregnancy termination is difficult to get. I have had to face this decision in my life and, during that tumultuous period, the one thing I relied on was access to medically accurate information. The decision to terminate a pregnancy can be many things. “But need alone is not enough to set power free: there must be knowledge.”Ī heart-wrenching agony.
