Crisis pregnancy centers impersonate abortion clinics to intercept their clients

Evidence

Some use Planned Parenthood’s initials in their signage (PP for “Problem Pregnancy”) or take the name of a local comprehensive reproductive health clinic with just one word altered, e.g. Oakland Women’s Center instead of Oakland Women’s Clinic. CPC billboards, too, are often intentionally designed to be mistaken for those of Planned Parenthood. The national umbrella organizations sponsoring the clinics dedicate substantial funds to pay-per-click methods for advertising their clinics in response to search engine keywords such as “abortion” or “morning after pill.” The San Francisco Women’s Clinic, for example, appears at the top of a Google search for “abortion clinic near me.” — Wendy Brown, In the Ruins of Neoliberalism, 252
