Anti-abortion pregnancy centers are looking to offer much more than ultrasounds and diapers
Over 2,600 anti-abortion centers in the U.S. expanded services like STI testing and primary care amid Planned Parenthood clinic closures and reduced Medicaid funding in 2023-2024.
- In recent years, anti-abortion pregnancy centers have added medical services like STI testing and primary care as Planned Parenthood clinics close and more than 2,600 centers now operate.
- After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade three years ago, state abortion bans and Medicaid changes accelerated pregnancy centers expanding clinical services, especially in Texas and Florida.
- Some centers now advertise treatment options including unproven abortion-pill reversal therapies, and Alternatives Pregnancy Center, Sacramento, California has hired family practice doctors, radiologists, and OB-GYNs to deliver STI care.
- Because many centers don't accept insurance, abortion-rights groups warn that these centers are the only health providers for some patients, risking limited ultrasounds and contraceptive access.
- With state funding rising, nearly 20 states funnel public dollars to pregnancy centers, Texas and Florida have allocated substantial sums, and the U.S. Supreme Court reviews legal battles including a New Jersey probe.
