STFU, Conservatives
Court of Appeals rules that it's totally cool for Crisis Pregnancy Centers to lie to your face, because Freedom! »

Crisis Pregnancy Centers are privately-run facilities that masquerade as places where you can get support for pregnancy, adoption, and abortions. In reality, they’re evil, evil places where the staff scares young women* into believing that abortions will kill them and that they’ll commit suicide if they abort and they should really hand their baby over to a nice, Christian family. A Congressional investigation found that an overwhelming majority of Crisis Pregnancy Centers, or CPCs, intentionally misled and misinformed their clients. (In one charming story, they told a Jewish woman that she had to convert to Christianity or she would go to hell. Just what a frightened pregnant woman wants to hear!)

Many CPCs have signs outside that say “Free Family Planning” or “Free Pregnancy Tests” to lure young pregnant women in. Their materials say they offer abortions and contraceptives, when in reality, they are Christian adoption mills. And the best part? Under George W. Bush, they received more than $30 million taxpayer dollars in federal funding.

Baltimore passed a law in 2009 that would force CPCs to post public disclosures of their position on abortion and contraception. This past week, the court of appeals ruled that it violated their Freedom of Speech. Yes, that’s right: they are legally allowed to lie to you.
