Dear John,
This week, the anti-abortion fake clinic chain Care Net is hosting their annual conference in St. Louis. As if Missourians needed more deception and stigma introduced into their healthcare system.
Know this: we will always call out the lies of the anti-abortion movement, especially when they try to spread them on our turf. We need your support to call out Care Net’s bad-faith, wrong-headed, fake clinics.
On Care Net’s regular podcast and in their blogs, they’ve spread lies about abortion, claiming it can cause breast cancer [1] – a claim that has been debunked many times. [2] Care Net’s podcast also believes only opposite-sex marriage is “consistent with God’s design,” [3] and disparages mothers who have had abortions [4] and people who believe in self-love as a way to build confidence. [5]
We need bold, consistent action to counter anti-abortion lies and efforts to shame women. We need your help to bring the facts to the front: There is nothing wrong with sex, homosexuality, or abortion, full stop.
Shireen Shakouri
Senior Campaign Lead
PS: While abortion bans are getting blocked in the courts, fake clinics keep spreading lies and shame to move abortion out of access for millions. We’re not standing for it. Help us win this fight.
