  • Crisis Pregnancy Centers in Montana
    The TRUTH Revealed: Crisis Pregnancy Centers in Montana EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Between May 2012 and September 2012, NARAL Pro-Choice Montana (NPCM) conducted an extensive investigation into the crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) operating across the state of Montana. These centers offer services to women facing an unintended pregnancy, but are fraught with problems—most notably biased and incorrect information provided to clients, failure to abide by applicable regulations to protect consumers, and their distinct connection to extreme right-wing political groups. NPCM research concluded that many of these facilities present themselves as legitimate medical clinics providing a broad range of comprehensive and caring services when, in fact, they use deceptive and misleading tactics to promote an anti-choice agenda. Through the investigations NPCM found that: 89 percent of CPCs in Montana present inaccurate information about birth control and other contraceptives. Examples of this include saying birth control is the same thing as abortion, condoms are not effective at preventing pregnancy or STIs, and that birth control leads to breast and cervical cancer. 78 percent of CPCs claimed that abortion causes serious psychological damage. This is often referred to as “post-abortion syndrome”. The reality, however, is that numerous studies have found that serious psychological reactions are uncommon and, furthermore, that no such syndrome is medically or scientifically recognized. 67 percent of CPCs linked abortion to breast cancer and 44 percent claimed that abortion can cause irreversible damage to the vagina and uterus. These two statements have repeatedly been disproven by medical research teams. Scare tactics and manipulative tools of these centers include showing women “fetal dolls” supposedly the size of the fetus, but they are developmentally incorrect and are used in an effort to 1 humanize the embryo and dissuade women from choosing safe, legal abortion.
