Lady Parts Justice has been calling out Crisis Pregnancy Centers for their deceptive tactics by writing accurate, specific reviews on the Yelp, Facebook, and Google Business pages for these “clinics.” During the week of October 23rd – 28th, you can bring together some pals, talk about CPCs and who’s supporting them in YOUR state, and then review a bunch online!
