Study maps how nonprofit religious groups set up facilities near abortion clinics (www.nbcnews.com)

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.

Of course they do. The Planned Parenthood near me is back behind some things, and the access road in front does not have a sidewalk on either side. This means that "protesters" have to stand off of the street and on private property. So some bullshit CPC opens on that land to allow shitbags to legally congregate outside the Planned Parenthood.
