Lauren (Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio), Kelly (Abortion Forward), and Sheena (Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio) expose the deceptive tactics of crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs)—fake clinics that masquerade as health care providers to manipulate pregnant people. From taxpayer-funded scams to dangerous misinformation, they reveal how these centers operate without oversight, harm communities, and divert resources from real reproductive health care providers.
