This is your every-so-often reminder that harmful propaganda inspired by US-based anti-abortion groups is a growing INTERNATIONAL ISSUE. 🚩

Read this article & learn more about anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) at: www.reprotransparency.org/fake-clinics...
Turquoise, purple, and pink gradient frame borders a screenshot of a news article from The Times UK published on September 23, 2025. Article is titled, "UK charity encouraged me to take controversial abortion reversal pill." An excerpt from the article placed over a purple box reads, "The Times has found UK retreats where participants metaphorically lay their aborted 'children' to rest while asking for forgiveness; therapy sessions in which women are encouraged to focus on negative emotions such as guilt and shame; and advisers urging women midway through termination to explore unregulated and potentially dangerous 'reversal' methods."

As more people come to #Illinois for abortion care, we are also seeing an influx of anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in and around #Chicago seeking to intercept patients.

If you or a loved one seeks abortion care, please be cautious while searching for care. Do *NOT* use Google alone!

#Illinois remains a key access point for abortion patients from the South & Midwest.

Meeting this need for care has been possible due to efforts by IL's state government, providers & orgs like @chiabortionfund.bsky.social to ensure support for out-of-state patients. https://gu.tt/4dnYPED
White and green text on a navy blue background says, “In 2024, about 37,000 people traveled to Illinois for an abortion, many from the South & Midwest.” Below, a map of the US with orange arrows shows travel into Illinois from various states.

Anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are using “telehealth” to intercept pregnant people who may be considering abortion and prevent or delay their access to care. This includes new network of centers in #Chicago!

Turquoise, purple, and pink gradient frame borders a screenshot of a news article from Ms. Magazine published on September 4, 2025. Article is titled, "Digital deception: beware the rise of fake telehealth abortion clinics." Subheading reads: "As abortion pills and telehealth expand access nationwide, anti abortion crisis pregnancy centers are rebranding as telehealth providers to mislead and delay patients seeking real care." An excerpt from the article placed over a purple box reads, "'CPCs are using telehealth in blue states as well. In Pennsylvania, CPCs are promoting 'virtual counseling,' including North Care Women’s Clinic, Women’s Choice Network and ThriVe. In Illinois, the Purple Clinic uses telehealth to direct clients to physical CPC locations in the Chicago area." By Carrie N. Baker.

Most anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are unregulated, and that includes what they can do with pregnant people’s sensitive health information. That’s why this news coming out of Hawaii is so important! #StopFakeClinics

If this bill passes, Missouri taxpayers will be subsidizing 100% of donations to UNREGULATED anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. A complete misuse of funds that are desperately needed for REAL healthcare. #StopFakeClinics

The vast majority of anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers are not held to federal HIPAA privacy laws. No matter what they promise to do (or not do) with your personal information, no one is holding them accountable. #StopFakeClinics #AbortionRights

It is absolutely WILD 🤯 that Iowa legislators think it is their place to mandate that doctors counsel patients about anti-abortion pseudo-science aka "Abortion Pill Reversal." Unproven and unethical propaganda. #StopFakeClinics #AbortionRights iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/02/25/i...
