Did you know there are 192 anti-abortion pregnancy centers operating across Florida? Sometimes calling themselves “crisis pregnancy centers”, these anti-abortion pregnancy centers deceive and shame Florida women seeking comprehensive reproductive health care including abortion care.

Extremists in the Florida Legislature have repeatedly attacked women’s health care, in particular targeting access to safe and legal abortion. One avenue of attack has been legitimizing anti-abortion pregnancy centers through legislation. In 2018, then Gov. Rick Scott signed a law requiring Florida taxpayers to permanently fund anti-abortion pregnancy centers. Despite the proven public health need for women to be able to access the full range of timely and affordable reproductive health care services, our State government is funding anti-abortion pregnancy centers that do the exact opposite. Find out more in our 2021 exposé that uncovers a proliferation of false and deceptive medical information, inflated reimbursement rates, and wasteful spending.

When I was pregnant with my first child I unknowingly entered one of these fake clinics to get a test and proof for my insurance company that I was pregnant. I was so uncomfortable, triggered, and made to feel as if I was wrong. I repeatedly told the “nurse” (no doctors or nurses are actually in these places) that I was carrying my baby to full term but she insisted on taking me through the anti abortion baby models and questioned my religions beliefs. This experience was only one of many horrible encounters during one of the most important journeys in my life. I dream that we live in a world where those who hold wombs are cared for, honored, and soothed in difficult times and decisions.
