What Are CPCs

Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) are facilities that may look like medical clinics but are actually operated by anti-abortion groups. They often do not have licensed medical professionals and may mislead patients about their reproductive health options.  Most crisis pregnancy centers aren’t legitimate medical clinics so they are not required to follow HIPAA Privacy Laws to protect your health information, like most real health care providers do.  These crisis pregnancy centers can do whatever they want with your contact information, social security numbers, and other data they collect and could even give your information to other anti-abortion organizations who use it to harass you. This could be especially concerning if you live in a state with anti-abortion laws.
