To evaluate practices of crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in a state with supportive abortion policies.
We called all New York State CPCs regarding their services using a "mystery client" protocol, utilizing checklists and thematic analysis.
Of 86 CPCs, 67 (78%) encouraged in-person appointments, offering free medical services and support. Twelve centers (14%) spontaneously disclosed their non-medical status, and 36 (42%) disclosed after direct questioning. Sixty-five (76%) made inaccurate or inflammatory statements about pregnancy or abortion.
In a state without specific barriers to abortion and pregnancy care, CPCs claim to provide support while using inflammatory rhetoric and concealing their organizational status.
评估在支持堕胎政策的州中危机怀孕中心(CPC)的实践情况。
我们使用“神秘客户”协议,通过清单和主题分析,向所有纽约州的 CPC 致电询问其服务情况。
在 86 家 CPC 中,有 67 家(78%)鼓励亲自预约,提供免费医疗服务和支持。有 12 家中心(14%)自动披露其非医疗地位,而有 36 家(42%)在直接询问后披露。有 65 家(76%)对怀孕或堕胎发表不准确或煽动性言论。
在一个没有具体堕胎和怀孕护理障碍的州,CPC 声称提供支持,同时使用煽动性言论并隐瞒其组织地位。
