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 expanded medical services like STI testing as Planned Parenthood clinics close, with more than 2,600 centers operating in the U.S. as of 2024.
- After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade three years ago, state abortion bans and Medicaid changes accelerated centers' expansion of clinical services 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 doctors, a radiologist and an OB-GYN.
- For some patients these centers are their only health provider, but abortion-rights groups warn they refuse contraceptives, offer limited ultrasounds, and often don't follow Medicaid and private insurer standards.
- With state funding rising, nearly 20 states funnel public dollars to pregnancy centers, Texas and Florida allocate large sums, and the U.S. Supreme Court reviews legal battles over regulation.
