Experiencing an Anti-abortion Center in Texas with Maleeha Aziz
from Body & State · host Sarah Varney
Across the country, crisis pregnancy centers offer free services to women, things like ultrasounds and pregnancy testing. For some pregnant people, getting care through these centers is the only affordable option, but many are unaware that they do not offer abortions and are often unregulated and unlicensed. In Texas, there are around 200 crisis pregnancy centers, the most of any state. And tens of millions of taxpayer dollars go to these groups each year. Over a decade ago, Maleeha Aziz became pregnant as a college student and went to one of these centers by mistake.
