Dear John, 

Welcome to the first edition of the Reproaction #BadFaithMedicine Breakdown! In it, we’ll chronicle our recent activities to call out anti-abortion fake clinics and the dangerous, #BadFaithMedicine they push.

Latest updates:

You may have seen in The Daily Beast earlier this month that the doctor behind the unproven, unethical “abortion pill reversal” regimen is now serving as an “expert witness” in cases where churches, individuals, and other groups are suing to weaken restrictions on large gatherings made to decrease spread of the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

We broke down just how dangerous and how very NOT ‘pro-life’ these actions are in a video starring yours truly and a tweet thread.

This month’s webinar:

In case you missed it, Reproaction hosted a webinar, “Racism in Anti-Abortion Fake Clinics” featuring a panel of amazing experts to talk about how racism is a key driver of the fake clinic phenomenon, and what you can do to get them out of your community.

Fake clinic network of the month:

Reproaction has a top-flight team that has researched a bunch about anti-abortion fake clinics, and we always want to keep you informed about how they sow deception and stigma in our communities. If you’ve followed along, you may be familiar with the creepy and invasive anti-abortion fake clinic chain Human Coalition. Below is a run-down of some of our most shocking and hard-hitting reporting on the racism, sexism, and shady practices that Human Coalition has employed over the years:
