“If we want Massachusetts to continue to lead the way for reproductive justice, we must directly address the unfair and deceptive practices used by crisis pregnancy centers. My office is committed to protecting patients from these dangerous tactics and ensuring that people who need an abortion can access this essential healthcare without fear of intimidation, coercion or interference.”

Warning About Crisis Pregnancy Centers

• Avoid crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs): they are not reproductive health care clinics.

• While CPCs may appear to be reproductive healthcare clinics, they do not provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare services or counseling.

• CPCs do not provide abortion care or abortion referrals, contraception, or other reproductive health care, despite what they may advertise. Prenatal care, emergency contraception, and abortion are time-sensitive services. 

• CPCs often look like medical clinics and sometimes use tactics to delay your access to care, which may reduce or eliminate your options and ability to receive services.
