The Role of Crisis Pregnancy Centers in the Anti-abortion Movement with Brian Westbrook

The state of Missouri is home to around 90 crisis pregnancy centers. These primarily faith-based organizations offer resources to pregnant women to steer them away from abortion. The nonprofit Coalition Life runs one of these centers out of their offices in the St. Louis suburbs. I talked to founder and executive director, Brian Westbrook, about how they operate, where they fit into the anti-abortion movement and the criticisms of CPCs around the country.
