Crisis pregnancy centers deliberately disguise their antiabortion mission to lure clients

Evidence

That is because their target clientele is women whom they call “abortion vulnerable”—women carrying unwanted pregnancies and seeking or considering an abortion. As antiabortion activist Abby Johnson said of CPCs at the annual Heartbeat International conference in 2012, “We want to appear neutral on the outside. The best call, the best client you ever get is one that thinks they’re walking into an abortion clinic.” — Wendy Brown, In the Ruins of Neoliberalism, 250
