NEW JERSEY (PIX11) — There are over 50 anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers, posing as reproductive healthcare providers in New Jersey, according to U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer.
Gottheimer explained that the accused centers are often not staffed by licensed medical professionals, and they ignore medical ethics. The facilities are also accused of deceiving pregnant women about the risk of abortion procedures, such as promoting an abortion pill “reversal,” to undo an abortion.
“This center calls themselves “first choice.” But really, they should call themselves “no choice,” because, despite how they market themselves to women, their goal is to push their own extreme ideological agenda,” Gottheimer said on Monday.
The congressman is sponsoring legislation to stop the centers from spreading false advertising about healthcare and penalize organizations that spread disinformation on abortion services.
“I urge everyone to raise their voices about Crisis Pregnancy Centers across the state, so no women in New Jersey ever suffer from their intentionally deceptive tactics. If we don’t stand up now and make our voices heard, far-right extremists will continue to advance their agenda. I’ll say it again: no one should get between a woman, her doctor, and her faith,” Gottheimer said.
