As doulas reclaim and reshape their role in reproductive health, they challenge the limitations of the traditional medical model by centering empathy, support, and patient autonomy.
Their rhetoric of a holocaust is meant to spur emotional action, and while some abortion opponents channel their emotional urges into pressing the ‘donate’ button to fund fake clinics like Human Coalition, others see the necessary as taking a clinic worker’s life in “defense” of a fetus.
On Friday, January 19, Reproaction, NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia and the Virginia Latina Advocacy Network hosted a screening of the documentary “12th and Delaware.” The film follows an abortion clinic in Florida, and the crisis pregnancy center (CPC) across the street. In the film, staff at the CPC give an inside glimpse into the tactics these anti-abortion fake clinics commonly use to try to dissuade pregnant people from seeking abortions. The film also centers the abortion clinic, and the patients caught in the crosshairs of a charged political fight.
It’s pretty remarkable to say “Black Lives Matter” and shame Black women’s choices in the same breath.
They’d probably describe you as pre-pregnant, as we know the goal of many “pro-lifers” is to make sure all sex has the consequence of conception and all women become mothers.
Human Coalition doesn’t care much about reaching people who are actually looking for help, they want to pull in women who specifically don’t want what they’re providing.
Feminism means not allowing an organization that misinforms and shames women and minors about their sexual health, bodies, and lives to make money off your name.
You still shouldn’t have to sit through the accusations, guilt trips, and lies peddled by CPCs just to get help.
150 to 200 people marched through the streets of Atlanta to Hurt Park, which is across the street from the #CuraFakeClinic. We then spoke truth to power. Our message is that we want anti-abortion clinics to own who they really are, and stop misleading and shaming people who are seeking abortions.
A fake clinic's presentation of a women’s options is biased at best, insidious at worst, and certainly a waste of taxpayer resources.
Fake clinics, known as crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) operate under the guise of providing medical care and social services so they can dissuade women from seeking abortions.
