This act isn't defensible IMO

Bzzt! Wrong-o.

"Crisis Pregnancy Centers" should be getting firebombed.

Those "care centers" were pro-life honeypots that collected names and tried to talk people out of abortions. Also they outnumber actual abortion clinics.

The birth-forcing crowd has no compunctions about lying because they literally think their god is with them.

On the left we couldn't get much use out of lies if we tried. You can't really use lies to build people's understanding of social sciences, and any acute use we might have for lying is usually outweighed by the damage it would do to the mass political consciousness we need to foster

The Evangelical right, though? Spend time with them and you'll hear a lot of sentiments like, "Lying is a sin just like killing, but nothing is a sin in service of God" and particularly regarding medical disinfo about abortions, "if it stops even one abortion it's worth it"

CPCs have been around since the late 1960s, primarily in states that permitted abortion, but their numbers grew significantly during the 1980s and 1990s after the national legalization of abortion. According to the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), an advocacy organization committed to ensuring abortion access, there are an estimated 2500 CPCs in the US, compared to only 800 abortion clinics. In some states, CPCs outnumber abortion providers by ratios as high as 15:1. Numerous states fund CPCs either directly or indirectly through the sale of “Choose Life” license plates. For example, in Pennsylvania, taxpayer money directly funds CPCs via legislation that creates grants for “nonprofit agencies whose primary function is to assist pregnant women seeking alternatives to abortion.” Through this mechanism, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services gave over $30 million in grant money to Real Alternatives, a funding conduit for CPCs, from 2012 to 2017. Pennsylvania was also the first of a handful of states to use federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) dollars, which are intended to provide safety-net monies for low-income families, to fund CPCs. Many CPCs throughout the country also receive state and federal funds to promote and conduct abstinence-only sexual education in public schools.
