Avoiding a Crisis Pregnancy Center
Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are places, typically funded by large scale conservative, Christian anti-abortion organizations, that utilize deceptive marketing to appear as offering medical services, including abortion, while serving no actual medical purpose. Their ultimate goal is to deter abortions through misinformation, shame and judgement, and by delaying people from getting abortions until they’re past the gestational limit. There are several in Massachusetts and across the United States and they can not offer you any meaningful resources regardless of your choice for your pregnancy that other non-biased centers can offer you. Here are some resources to avoid them.
Abortion Truth Campaign - abortiontruthcampaign.org
This website has lots of information of what CPCs are, as well as their names and locations in Massachusetts.
Crisis Pregnancy Center Map - crisispregnancycentermap.com
This website has locations and names of CPCs nationwide.
Although, these resources are a good tool to use in case you suspect a center you are using is a CPC, there isn’t a guarantee they list every CPC. Still make sure to confirm with whoever you are talking to that they do in fact provide abortions if that is what you are looking for.
