Christian pregnancy centers freak out after California turns tables and forces them to disclose abortion rights
I'll keep it short for the ADD republicans: Christian pregnancy centers have to post a memo stating they are liars and charlitans who tell half truths and arent doctors or have medical training. Christian Center big mad.
Here's the article for everyone else:
NPR reported this week that a number of so-called pregnancy crisis centers were suing the state over regulations in the Reproductive FACT Act, which would force them to post a notice that abortion is legal in the state.
According to the law, a sign in large 22-point type must be posted in the lobby reading:
California has public programs that provide immediate free or low-cost access to comprehensive family planning services (including all FDA-approved methods of contraception), prenatal care, and abortion for eligible women. To determine whether you qualify, contact the county social services office at [insert the telephone number].
Additionally, the sign at unlicensed clinics would state that the “facility is not licensed as a medical facility by the State of California and has no licensed medical provider who provides or directly supervises the provision of services.”
Josh McClure, executive director of East County Pregnancy Care Clinic in El Cajon, told NPR that the law goes against everything his clinic stands for.
East County Pregnancy Care does not currently notify clients that they have a right to an abortion, and it does not refer women to abortion providers even if asked.
But McClure said that the clinic would discuss the dangers of abortions.

NPR noted that the clinic omitted the fact that much of the anti-abortion information had been disputed by experts.
