Let us be clear: the Supreme Court’s ruling this week about crisis pregnancy centers was not about freedom of speech, it was about disenfranchising women, specifically low-income women and women of color.
Access to healthcare is a human right. So-called ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ oftentimes engage in deceptive strategies that target at-risk women and withhold information about the full range of medical options available to them while posturing as medical professionals.
These tactics are coercive and unacceptable. This decision by the Supreme Court is terribly disappointing, and will harm women across the country who are in need of accurate, unbiased medical information and care.
This ruling underscores the need to fully repeal the Hyde Amendment and guarantee women access to reproductive health care -- including abortion services -- regardless of their financial situation.
I’ve fought against crisis pregnancy centers during my time on the Boston City Council, and will continue to advocate for additional funding for organizations dedicated to providing critical, medically-appropriate health care services for women. #ChangeCantWait
