State-Funded Pregnancy Centers Talk Women Out Of Using Birth Control, Condoms
When a woman walked into a state-funded “crisis pregnancy center” in Manassas, Va., this summer and told the counselor she might be pregnant, she was told that condoms don’t actually prevent STDs and that birth control frequently causes hair loss, memory loss, headaches, weight gain, fatal blood clots and breast cancer. “The first three ingredients in the birth control pill are carcinogens,” the CPC counselor said, adding that she always tries to talk women out of taking it.NARAL found that 71% of the CPCs in Virginia are telling women flat-out LIES about abortion, about birth control, about sex, about everything.
CPCs in Virginia are STATE-FUNDED (thanks to everyone’s favorite gubernatorial candidate, Ken Cuccinelli).
Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest provider of comprehensive, medically-accurate sex education, is NOT.
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THE HELL OUT OF THIS.
