This blog posts the experience of women who've gone to these clinics. Here are a couple of stories.
This misleading & untrue information about condoms is from a crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) website.
CPCs pose as legitimate reproductive health centers. They have a track record of outright lying to women and work to dissuade people from exercising the right to choose.
Everyone should have all the facts to make the best decision for their own health. Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) pose as legitimate reproductive health centers. They have a track record of outright lying to women and work to dissuade people from exercising the right to choose.
#CallOutCPCs!

(36,827 posts)At the time my wife was pregnant with our first child, but we didn't know for sure. This is back in the days when OTC pregnancy tests were expensive and not much more reliable than a magic 8 ball. We found a "clinic" that advertised "free pregnancy tests" and we both thought it was worth a try. Perhaps we were a bit naive, but little did we know it was a group of nutball religionists masquerading as a legitimate clinic in order to lure pregnant women. While we were waiting for the results, we were asked if we were considering an abortion, which I thought was a strange question, but we assured them that we weren't and were intentionally trying to conceive. Then they led us into a room where they proceeded to give us a slide show on what abortions look like. After I shuffled my already nauseated wife out the door, I told everyone in the waiting room it was a scam and then told the "staff" they were truly pathetic and should go fuck themselves. Two women in the waiting room followed me out the door where my wife and I explained the scam to them.
