EFF to State AGs: Time to Investigate Crisis Pregnancy Centers
Briefly

Discovering pregnancy can evoke a variety of emotions, leading individuals to seek guidance from trusted medical professionals or crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs). While CPCs provide limited services, including pregnancy tests and counseling, many do not prioritize client privacy. Reports indicate these centers, linked to religious groups and anti-abortion ideologies, have faced scrutiny for misleading clients about privacy protections and potentially mishandling personal information. In 2022, CPCs garnered $1.4 billion in revenue, highlighting their financial influence amid concerns over their practices and the integrity of client confidentiality.
Many crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) may fail to protect client privacy, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of their practices in safeguarding sensitive personal information.
Crisis pregnancy centers, often affiliated with religious groups, provide limited services and typically do not offer reproductive healthcare like abortion, contributing to growing concerns.
