Long before the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v Wade, anti-choice extremists have been attacking abortion access. One of their tactics is setting up fake “pregnancy centers” that look like medical clinics but don’t practice medicine or follow standardized ethics. There are six fake pregnancy centers in Cuyahoga County, and we need your help to SHUT. THEM. DOWN.

Join us to #ExposeFakeClinics one by one, at our second location, Birthright of Lakewood. We’ll march from the park to the street in front of the center to raise awareness and provide handouts with actual resources for people seeking care. And we won’t be alone — medical professionals and students are standing with us to stop these fake clinics.

What are fake pregnancy centers?

These centers or “clinics” don’t provide comprehensive reproductive health care — instead, they use phony ads to trick pregnant people into making appointments, promising “pregnancy support” or “free ultrasounds.”
Once inside, people are shamed, pressured and lied to about their health decisions, and clinic workers will use stalling techniques to push them past the deadline for seeking legal abortions. Not bound by HIPPA or any standardized ethics, these predatory clinics are funded by our taxpayer dollars and impact people of color, poor people, gender non-conforming folks and transmen the hardest. Help us end this deception by shutting these fake clinics down one by one!
