Last year we saw the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a historic Supreme Court decision that had guaranteed the right to abortion in the U.S. for almost 50 years.
In this AreaS seminar, Prof. Kirsti K. Cole and Prof. Johanna M. Wagner present the Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) that have bourgeoned across the U.S. since the latter 20th century. Cole and Wagner argue that while the CPCs present themselves as offering a trusted service to desperate women, their websites often include misinformation, deceptive facts and figures to dissuade them from getting an abortion.
