BEWARE OF ANTI-ABORTION FAKE CLINICS
“Crisis Pregnancy Centers” are not medical clinics or comprehensive pregnancy resource centers and do not promote the full range of reproductive health care options.
They often will offer you free pregnancy tests or free ultrasounds, but the people who perform these services are not doctors. The places are anti-abortion and they will try to convince you not to have an abortion, often by giving you false, medically inaccurate information about the risks or costs of abortion. To protect yourself, you should never give your medical information to anyone who is not a doctor or working for a doctor’s office.
Legal Support
To get legal advice, along with support for emergency denials of care, people can contact the Repro Legal Helpline: ReproLegalHelpline.org and 844-868-2812.
