doctors agree: fake clinics hurt young people
today, the society for adolescent health and medicine (sahm) and the north american society for pediatric and adolescent gynecology (naspag) issued a joint statement taking the position that so-called “crisis pregnancy centers” (cpcs) are a health risk for young people.
sahm and naspag confirmed what young people have known for years: that cpcs draw young people in with misleading advertising, but do not provide abortion or contraception care or referrals. further, these centers provide misleading and biased information about reproductive health.
