It would be unfair to say that crisis pregnancy centers provide no benefits for pregnant women. For women who become unexpectedly pregnant but decide to carry to term, or women who cannot afford basic childcare resources such as diapers, or for women who simply need a free pregnancy test, these centers can be invaluable. For others, that’s not really the case. More often than not, CPCs — which now outnumber abortion clinics by an estimated 3 to 1 — can be misleading, manipulative or downright coercive, pushing a distinctly antiabortion agenda that relies heavily on lying to clients.
