Yesterday, I talked about Florida's "Woman's Right To Know Act," which sounds all lovely and innocuous but is actually this Orwellian-named, anti-abortion bill that would require women, including rape and incest victims, to see an ultrasound of their fetus before an abortion. Oh. Ugh. So-called "crisis pregnancy centers" — which can also be called innocuous-sounding "pregnancy help centers" or "pregnancy care centers" — take the cake for Orwellian names. America's 3,000+ CPCs portray themselves as "clinics" to help women with unwanted pregnancies. However, they are often run by and/or almost entirely bankrolled by anti-abortion activists or Christian groups and despite occasionally owning an ultrasound machine, have no medical professionals on staff. As Slate.com's Explainer, um, explains, a 2006 investigation by Congress even found some CPCs tell women over the phone that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer, which a lil' something called the National Cancer Institute says is not true.
