🧵 Anti-abortion fake clinics, or so-called Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs), 🎭 masquerade 🎭 as healthcare providers but their goal is to block people from accessing abortions by lying to them about their options, shaming & harassing them. (1/7)
Since 2006, fake clinics in MO have received direct state funding and special tax credits. Today ‼️77‼️ CPCs across the state receive tax-payer funding to deceive, harass, and shame Missourians seeking basic medical services. (2/7)
Because they are NOT medical facilities, anti-abortion fake clinics are NOT regulated. They DO NOT have to tell you the truth, keep their promises, or abide by confidentiality. People tricked into appointments w/ CPCs often leave traumatized, confused & scared. (3/7)
A common tactic of anti-abortion fake clinics is to advertise 📢 “free help/ resources/ medical tests” 📢 In reality, their services are ideological “counseling”, their facilities have NO medical standards, & they employ NO medical doctors. (4/7)
Anti-abortion fake clinics provide DANGEROUS misinformation on abortion care, falsely claiming it is linked to increased rates of breast cancer, infertility, & even suicide. They have even been caught showing doctored images on the ultrasound monitor (5/7)
MO Sen @JillSchupp‘s and Rep. @Emily4Mo’s "Truth in Medicine Act" (HB830/SB447) would require ALL facilities that receive state $$$ to provide comprehensive medically accurate, and unbiased information on ALL relevant reproductive health options. (6/7)
Ideological extremists should not be allowed to use taxpayer money to lie to & harass people seeking unbiased medical care. Join us TODAY at 1PM to tell your representatives to to 🖋 add their names to #SB447 & #HB830 (7/7)
