Democrats in both the House and Senate are calling for the shutdown of “deceptive” crisis pregnancy centers amid a wave of violence across the United States by pro-abortion activists, prompting GOP backlash.
Crisis pregnancy centers are nonprofits founded for the purpose of providing counseling, support, and resources to persuade women against having an abortion. Often, services provided by these organizations include financial assistance, child-rearing resources, and adoption referrals, among others.
