I made a fake appointment booking to my local pregnancy crisis center. Obviously I don’t plan to turn up, and I’ve wasted one of their booking slots.
I’m doing my part. I am angry at the Supreme Court ruling. But I am powerless to change laws.

However I am not powerless to screw over these disgusting pregnancy clinics that guilt and manipulate vulnerable women into giving birth, collect pregnancy data of teenagers and now pass them on to anti-choice prosecutors.

Every fake appointment I make is one less appointment that can be made on their website. I want to waste their time. I want to muddle their data. I want to make it harder for them to source their patients. I’m doing my part.

Edit: make sure to never use your real data if you plan on doing this. Always fake emails, names, numbers etc.

When I was 8 weeks with my first I had some bleeding. Couldn’t get in to an OB because they don’t give a fuck about you prior to the 12 week mark. So I went to one of these centers because my mom said they’d give me an ultrasound and was railed with stupid ass questions about if I planned to keep my baby. They then told me they could schedule an ultrasound for me at the 16 week mark.

So I sat there for a fucking hour being asked about my religious affiliations and grilling me on my abortion stance, only to find out they actually didn’t care about the baby either, they just didn’t want me to abort.

Fucking hate those assholes. He’s fine by the way. Three now.

Typical. They can schedule an ultrasound ...after it's not possible to get an abortion in that state. It's just a delaying tactic. I read that another tactic is to tell a woman she's about to miscarry so she doesn't need an abortion, all to get her to delay until it's too late.

Gets worse. One woman’s story:
“The ‘crisis pregnancy center’ in my town is awful. They try to make you have the baby partly by promising you all kinds of resources to help you take care of the baby. Once the baby is born, they ghost you. They give you nothing. I had a friend who thought they would help her with an abortion and I went with her as support. They promised her a car seat, baby clothes, formula (because breastfeeding is perverted and "good Christian women" don't expose their bodies to their children at any time ever), even a "small stipend" to help with the baby expenses after it is born. I went with her when she went in and asked where the stuff they promised is. They flat out said that they will say anything to convince a woman to have a child. They will promise any and everything but as soon as they are "successful" - meaning the child is born - they don't have to follow through. That was explained to us by the people working at the place. They were so smug about getting their way and keeping her from having an abortion. They also told her that it didn't matter if they lied to "whores" and only women who are whores want abortions.

Force them to ACT like doctors. Force them to have real doctors and nurses on site and on-staff. Force them to adhere to the same standards as real clinics (particularly the abortion clinics their politico pals closed down) with regular inspections and civil and criminal penalties if they don’t comply.

If they don’t comply: SHUT THEM DOWN!

A few CPCs might survive. Most of them would have to close.
