Crisis Pregnancy Centers: Barriers to Repro Health, Rights, and Justice
Did you know that crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) appear in CDC directories of STI testing service centers? That’s right, the same anti-abortion clinics that spread misinformation and manipulate pregnant people are increasingly offering limited medical services, including STI testing. However, they often fail to follow clinical and public health guidelines. So why is the federal government referring people to them?
I’m excited to explore this and other issues related to CPCs at the first-ever ACCESS Podcast live event this Thursday, April 7, at 7:30pm ET. Tickets are free but spaces are limited, so reserve now! I’ll be co-moderating the event with Lisa Battisfore of Reproductive Transparency Now, and we have an incredible lineup of speakers, including:
- (The legendary!) Dázon Dixon Diallo, MPH: Founder and President of SisterLove, the first women-centered HIV and sexual and reproductive health organization in the Southeast
- Aimee Registe, Esq.: Policy and Advocacy Program Manager at SisterLove
- Andrea Swartzendruber, PhD, MPH: Associate Professor in the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Department in the College of Public Health at the University of Georgia and Co-Founder of CPC Map
- Danielle Lambert, PhD, MPH: Assistant Professor in the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Department in the College of Public Health at the University of Georgia and Co-Founder of CPC Map
- Angel Kai: Abortion Storyteller with We Testify

April 7th is World Health Day. Join us to learn more about CPCS create barriers to sexual and reproductive health, particularly for marginalized people.
Hope to see you there!
