11. Support for anti-abortion Christian crisis pregnancy centers.

I disagree that clinics do not need to be medically approved. Would you go to a dentist who had no training or hire a plumber with no license or background in plumbing? The crisis pregnancy clinics are not medically approved for a reason—they do not provide healthcare. They are an anti-abortion propaganda machine and they should not be allowed to practice medicine. Many of their staff wear white coats to fool women into thinking that they are medically trained and they lie to women, saying that abortions cause cancer and that cite nonexistent studies saying that all women regret having an abortion. They are not trained to identify the signs of future medical problems for pregnant women, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy-related hypertension, or fetal abnormalities shown through the ultrasound images they may perform but are not trained to read. These clinics need to be identified as what they are—nonmedical facilities created solely to oppose abortion.
