Upcoming CCPC Events
Shut Down Fake Pregnancy Centers – Round 3 Thursday, November 10 from noon to 1 pm @ Birthright of Parma, 5851 Pearl Rd. Parma Heights 44130. 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 of these pregnancy centers in Cuyahoga County, and we need your help to SHUT. THEM. DOWN . Join us to #exposefakeclinics one by one, at our third location, Birthright of Parma. We’ll be at this location 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!
