Four years after Dobbs, Congress should stop punishing pregnancy centers
Pregnancy centers have been helping women and men face unplanned pregnancies and new parenthood for nearly 60 years. Today, there are nearly 3,000 of these centers across the country providing pregnancy-related resources and support, typically at no cost.
TL;DR
- Nearly 3,000 pregnancy centers nationwide offer free resources and support for unplanned pregnancies and new parenthood.
- Services provided include pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STI/STD testing, material assistance, referrals, educational classes, and after-abortion recovery care.
- These centers have been a target of attacks for years, with increased legislative efforts since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
- Legislation introduced aims to intimidate and regulate pregnancy centers, potentially forcing their closure through measures such as banning abortion pill reversal and requiring licensing.
