•      "Fake clinics, also known as Crisis Pregnancy Centers, have one goal: to stop people from accessing the abortion care they're actively seeking. To do this, they provide misinformation about the risks of abortion, and routinely lie to people about how far into their pregnancy they are, with the hopes that they will stop seeking an abortion. More often than not, this doesn't deter abortion seekers: instead, it wastes their time, and adds increased stigma and judgment on top of everything else they're managing. This includes increased hurdles to accessing care later in pregnancy: higher costs, longer waits, and extensive travel to cities or states where abortions are provided."

•      "CPC is a term used to refer to certain facilities that represent themselves as legitimate reproductive health care clinics providing care for pregnant people but actually aim to dissuade people from accessing certain types of reproductive health care, including abortion care and even contraceptive options. Staff members at these unregulated and often nonmedical facilities have no legal obligation to provide pregnant people with accurate information and are not subject to HIPAA or required by law to maintain client confidentiality. Many CPCs are affiliated with national organizations that provide funding, support, and training to advance a broadscale antiabortion agenda."
