A recent New York Times video highlights how political efforts to defund Planned Parenthood have increasingly relied on promoting crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) that cannot provide the same comprehensive reproductive health care (such as cancer screenings, STI testing, contraception, and safe abortion services) that Planned Parenthood clinics do. These efforts reflect a broader strategy by some lawmakers to undermine reproductive autonomy and access to trusted health care, making clear that reproductive rights and freedom remain under threat. This underscores why organizing together for Repro Shabbat is so important: building community, raising awareness, and mobilizing collective action are essential to protect and strengthen access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care for all.
Pregnancy centers have been around along time. Many of them are Christian based.
