Summary

A new study highlights how crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) strategically position near abortion clinics to intercept patients, with some women in Illinois accidentally visiting CPCs instead of Planned Parenthood locations.

CPCs, which aim to dissuade women from seeking abortions, outnumber abortion clinics 3-to-1 nationwide, a gap likely widened since Roe v. Wade’s reversal.

CPCs often receive taxpayer funding, especially in states with restrictive abortion laws. Meanwhile, abortion clinics face funding shortages, threatening access to broader health services.

Advocates warn CPCs contribute to misinformation and health risks for women seeking care.
