Pennsylvania plans to end on Dec. 31 its longstanding contract with the nonprofit Real Alternatives, the first organization in the nation to secure significant state and federal subsidies to support anti-abortion counseling centers. Under the program, Real Alternatives distributed the state and federal funds to dozens of Pennsylvania centers, including Catholic Charities, anti-abortion counseling centers and maternity homes, which provide support and housing for pregnant women.
Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro said in a statement his administration would not “continue that pattern” of subsidizing the organization, saying he was steadfast in defending abortion access.
Tens of millions of taxpayer dollars across the U.S. have been sent to such organizations, which are typically religiously affiliated. Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the right to abortion last year, Republican-led states have sent more tax dollars to what are sometimes called “crisis pregnancy centers,” while Democratic-leaning states apply more scrutiny to them.
The tiniest bit of research would have revealed to you that they are not some innocent lambs and it isn’t a case that they simply “won’t provide abortions”, they are actively anti choice disguising themselves as “crisis centres” where people who are actively looking for an abortion go only to end up pressured and manipulated in to changing their mind by any means necessary, including impersonating medical staff. I’ve read cases where these “crisis centres” will make appointments for an “abortion” which they will then keep postponing until it’s too late to do it.
There is absolutely nothing pro choice about this organisation, it’s just another way in which patriarchy religion and capitalism combine to keep women “producing”, and you could have easily found this out with a 2 second search before ignorantly jumping to their defence:
