How Evangelical Purity Culture Funded Thousands of Anti-Abortion Clinics

July 8, 2022

Excerpt: Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) have periodically received attention in mainstream media outlets for their religious affiliations and anti-abortion positions. They claim to offer free counseling and pregnancy tests. Once inside the clinic, the person seeking medical advice will instead be handed information about the trauma and pain of abortion. Abrams and Bergengruen point out that CPCs now use some form of “pregnancy care center” in their name to avoid being recognized as one of the overtly anti-abortion clinics.
