Crisis Pregnancy Center Names in the United States, 2024

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to analyze the naming conventions of 2,633 crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in the United States in 2024, categorizing them based on whether they portrayed themselves as healthcare facilities or were unbiased and supportive of reproductive autonomy. They found that a significant portion of CPC names may misrepresent their true nature, with 16.0% presenting as healthcare facilities and 12.6% being unbiased. Notably, the study revealed no association between the naming patterns and state policies regarding CPC funding and abortion bans.
