NYC Forces "Crisis Pregnancy Centers" To Disclose Motives To Women

Some good news, finally: New York City's City Council voted yesterday to require so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" to be more transparent about their anti-abortion motives to women.

There are different types of CPCs, but many are run by anti-abortion extremists which intentionally appear to look like abortion clinics from the outside but in actuality will dissuade women from ending a pregnancy through any tactic at all. The city council demanded that CPCs inform women on advertising and signs in entrances and waiting rooms that they do not actually provide abortions, emergency contraceptives or prenatal care. CPC employees will also be required to provide that information if asked about it over the phone or in person. NYC's Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to sign the bill into law.
