What is a "Crisis" Pregnancy Center
Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are anti-abortion groups (usually religious extremists) disguised as abortion clinics. Their only goal is to stop you from having an abortion. Most are staffed by non-medical volunteers.

These CPC's are often located near legitimate women's health care centers that offer abortion services (one is now open across from Planned Parenthood's Kalamazoo Center). They lure in unsuspecting women with free pregnancy and/or HIV tests. Once inside, women are subjected to antiabortion propaganda, misinformation and intimidation in an attempt to prevent them from having abortions.

Beware of CPC's Deceptive Tactics

  • Misleading Advertising
  • Misleading Names
  • Answer questions with evasion & lies
  • Look like medical facilities but are staffed by non-medical volunteers
  • Subject women to disturbing and misleading anti-abortion films
