The Massachusetts condition authorities has erected taxpayer-funded banners attacking pregnancy centers and encouraging people to “avoid” pro-life companies.  ,
The billboards, which went up across the state in June, accuse pro-life centers of “mislead]ing ] you about your options if you’re pregnant” because these organizations do not provide , abortion-pills-is-way-more-dangerous-than-big-pharma-wants-women-to-know/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>dangerous , and , abortions-but-then-lament-they-cant-kill-more-babies-after-34-weeks/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>deadly , abortion , services. Advertisements with the same information were likewise rolled out on social media platforms, television,  , YouTube, and public transport.  ,
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat, billed the advertisements as a “public education campaign” paid for by$ 1 million in taxpayer dollars approved in the state legislature’s FY2023 , supplemental budget. The initiative marks  , the second time , a state government has used public money to battle against pro-life companies. To start the problems, the state government collaborated with the pro-abortion organization Reproductive Equity Today Foundation.  ,
The poster directs people to a state , state website , that attacks pro-life pregnancy locations. Information is provided on the home page about how to report a grievance against pregnancy locations. Women are advised to stay away from places with “hope” and “pictures of babies and children” as they are greeted.
” Anti-abortion centers, often called’ crisis pregnancy centers’, look like medical facilities but do n’t offer comprehensive care”, the website reads. Some organizations may not provide health treatment. If you’re pregnant, they might persuade you about your choices and risk your health.
The website makes a number of unsupported assertions about the over 30 pro-life facilities in Massachusetts, including allegations of “untrained workers and volunteers” and attempts to “delay your care and possibly put your health in danger,” before coming to the conclusion that” these locations are not a healthy or trusted place to go” for support.  ,
No empirical information or data are provided to back up these statements. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Governor’s Office did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment right away.  ,
The site makes no claim that pro-life pregnancy facilities “purposefully operate and advertise themselves in communities of color and low-income communities,” but it does not provide any supporting evidence to back up its claim.
Multiple , studies , indicate pregnancy company Planned Parenthood consciously targets minority people, fulfilling leader Margaret Sanger ‘s , stated goal , to “lead eventually to a cleaner competition”. Life Issues Institute , research , found the organization” strategically place]d ]” “62 % of Planned Parenthood abortion facilities … within walking distance ( 2 miles ) of relatively high African American populations”.
The page links to collaborator Reproductive Equity Now Foundation’s ( RENF )  , website,  , which contains a laundry list of misinformation.  ,
RENF asserts that” there is no scientific proof that pregnancy causes harm to mental health.” Many studies indicate that pregnancy is harmful to women’s mental health, significantly increasing , death rates,  , melancholy, and , substance abuse.
The business also referred to the reversed abortion medication as a “fake service… that is unsupported by science and poses serious risks to people ‘ health.” Several , companies,  , professionals, and , studies, nonetheless, have demonstrated its effectiveness for , women , who , change , their , minds , about chemical pregnancy.  ,
Pro-life centers are under strike as they continue to provide , increasing amounts , of benevolent goods and services to expectant women and their children. Members of the , Pregnancy Care Alliance , of Massachusetts (PCAM ) provided over$ 1 million in ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, diapers, baby formula, and other material goods in 2022 alone. Total support from pregnancy centers nationwide totaled , over$ 350 million  , in 2022.  ,
” The girls served by pregnancy resource centers largely report a good experience, but the Healey Administration and other officials in the state are furthering their intense abortion objective by using a taxpayer-funded campaign to discredit our facilities”, PCAM , told , Fox News Digital. The most affected by this politically motivated campaign will be women, specifically the many women who want to parent and rely on our free aid.
