If you are headed to a real clinic, beware of fake clinics set up nearby to confuse women who may not know the neighborhood. Check the name and address of your clinic to make sure it matches . Their sole purpose is to intentionally deceive and impose their views on women, regardless of the consequences to the women's health and well-being. What Fake Clinics Do Phony clinics perform no medical services. Their entire purpose is to lure in women and bombard them with antiabortion propaganda.
Most fake clinics have no doctors or other medical staff.
A woman who visits one of these phony facilities is merely given a home pregnancy test of the kind available in drug stores, then told to wait for her results. While she waits, she is shown graphic, medically inaccurate antiabortion videos. This can prevent women from obtaining an abortion within the legal time frame, or force them into more risky, expensive second-trimester procedures. Fake clinics have also told women's relatives and husbands about their intended abortions. Staffers have attempted to physically prevent women from leaving.
