Today!

 

Shut Down Fake Pregnancy Centers – Round 2 Thursday, October 20 from 11:30 am to 1 pm @ Birthright of Lakewood, 14701 Detroit Ave. Lakewood 44107, Meet @ 11:30 am @ Bernice – Pyke Park – St. Charles entrance in Lakewood. 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 second location, Birthright of Lakewood. We’ll gather on 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!
