County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer is leading the charge against crisis pregnancy centers in San Diego County.
“They do not offer any kind of actual medical advice,” said Lawson-Remer. “They do not offer any kind of prenatal services. They do not offer a full range of reproductive health care to women.”
State Attorney General Rob Bonta recently filed a lawsuit against two centers for promoting an alleged “abortion pill reversal” medication. The procedure was opposed by top medical organizations.NBC 7 reached out to at least half a dozen pregnancy clinics for comment and only heard back from one: Hope Clinic for Women in Fallbrook. They defended their mission in a statement that read:
“Information is provided as an education service and should not be relied on as a substitute for professional and/or medical advice.” “When you’re talking to someone who is not a medical provider, they’re serving their own political agenda,” said Marengo. “They really don't care about your health.”
