The Reproductive Justice working group of Connecticut DSA is launching a campaign to expose and combat so-called “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” (CPCs) in CT.Â
CPCs pose as reproductive health clinics but are in fact funded by conservatives to promote an anti-abortion agenda, and are known to lie to patients about the stage of their pregnancy, provide misinformation and lies about abortion and contraception, and pressure patients to make select choices. For example, the St. Gianna Center of New Haven advertises a “medication abortion reversal” service - which is a medically impossible and potentially dangerous procedure.Â
Local anti-abortion CPCs are being listed as “pregnancy counseling” resources alongside legitimate providers by 2-1-1 of Connecticut, a major social services referral service, on their resources portal.Â
Take action to get CPCs removed from this platform! We are reporting each CPC listed on the 2-1-1 platform through a form to report issues. This is a quick and simple action you can take to fight against anti-abortion actors in our state!
***please remember to submit this google form at the end to help us keep track of which CPCs are getting reported***
