Dear John,
This is not a drill. Big ‘Pro-Life’ is encouraging anti-abortion fake clinics to apply for millions of dollars in federal grants through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Funneling money to anti-abortion fake clinics was common in the previous administration. There is no excuse for continuing this practice now.
Sign the petition now demanding no federal funding to anti-abortion fake clinics.
Also known as crisis pregnancy centers or pregnancy resource centers, anti-abortion fake clinics often advertise as if they were abortion providers as a bait-and-switch to catch potential abortion patients. They then feed them lies and sexist myths about abortion care and sexual wellness.
Two federal grants are offering more than 5 million dollars each to both maternity group homes and organizations that combat youth homelessness and human trafficking. Anti-abortion fake clinics taking this money would block aid to organizations that work on these issues without an ideological agenda, devastating to individuals who need unbiased support.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute, a research arm of the anti-abortion organization Susan B. Anthony List that has close ties to the Trumpists, is offering to guide anti-abortion fake clinics in their application process for these critical federal dollars. [1]
Don’t let Big ‘Pro-Life’ run away with our tax dollars. Sign the petition demanding no funding go to anti-abortion fake clinics.
In solidarity,

P.S. Anti-abortion fake clinics claim to care about women despite their work undermining bodily autonomy at every turn. Stop them now.
