Undercover Audio From VA "Crisis Pregnancy Centers Reveals Outrageous Lies, Manipulation

UNDERCOVER AUDIO FROM VIRGINIA "CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS" SUPPORTED BY CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR KEN CUCCINELLI REVEALS OUTRAGEOUS LIES, MANIPULATION

Cuccinelli has long record of supporting, funding anti-choice CPCs

On the heels of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia Foundation’s second year-long investigation and report exposing the outrageous lies told to women by “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) in the Commonwealth, NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia in partnership with NARAL Pro-Choice America, today highlighted new undercover audio of CPC representatives lying to and manipulating women. The audio – recorded at two Virginia “crisis pregnancy centers” – includes a CPC staffer telling a woman that the birth-control pill causes breast cancer and that condoms “don’t work.” (Download the full audio from the two visits here and here.)

Centers like these receive funding from a variety of sources including “Choose Life” license plates available through the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. Ken Cuccinelli – whose anti-choice activism has helped shut down legitimate women’s health clinics across the state – has said he was the “proud sponsor” of the legislation behind the license plates when he served in the State Senate.

Additional highlights from the audio include the CPC representative saying:

Condoms are “naturally porous” and do not protect against STDs (5:15)

Women who have taken the birth-control pill for four years prior to their first pregnancy have a 46% increased risk of breast cancer (7:00, 12:55)

Having an abortion will damage all of your future relationships (38:00)

“I try to talk women out of taking birth control” (4:30 – 5:00)

If you have an abortion, you will see that child’s soul again in the future: “At the end of the world you’re gonna know that was my child that I choose to kill” (48:00)

And they love to prate about how they are 'pro-life'.

What they really are about is punishing women with unwanted children, and punishing the children who are born into those circumstances.

I discovered yesterday that my state's department of health and hospitals has an entire web page set up to refer women to CPCs under the guise of "abortion alternatives."
