Crisis pregnancy centers, which currently are places that may be perceived as medical clinics, but they are heavily focused on discouraging abortion, and may not give patients medically-accepted information about their sexual and reproductive health.
, investigated how crisis pregnancy centers exploit the position afforded by offering advice without responsibility to adhere to medical ethics and with freedom of speech protection.
“The problem with crisis pregnancy centers is that they're not honest about their goals. They're not honest about their goals to clients who seek care,” he said. Dr. Swartz said he’s heard from patients who’ve been given false gestational periods from crisis pregnancy center staff, incorrect information about whether they were having miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies, and patients who were just generally creeped out by the language used.
“I think this framework that women, especially young women and low income women, are easily deceived and manipulated also undergirds a lot of other types of restrictions on abortion,” Dr. Kimport said. “Like that's the logic behind something like a mandatory waiting period.”
