The ordinance is a response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June, striking down the federal constitutional right to an abortion.
The Los Angeles City Council voted to approve an ordinance on Friday, Oct. 21, that would prohibit pregnancy service centers from misleading people about reproductive health services, including abortion, with tactics such as false advertising.
“If someone goes to a center thinking that those services are offered, and they’re not, they’ve lost valuable time in this critical moment,” Feuer said at a committee meeting last month. “If someone goes to one of these centers and is pressured into changing their mind, altering their decision-making about this through inaccurate information, precious time is lost.
The ordinance is a response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June, striking down the federal constitutional right to an abortion that had been in place for nearly five decades. Feuer said some so-called crisis pregnancy centers falsely advertise to women seeking abortions, specifically those who are low-income and in a “very stressful physical and emotional moment in their lives.”
“Crisis pregnancy centers often work to attract pregnant Californians into their facilities through vague claims about the information and services they offer,” Bonta said in June. “While crisis pregnancy centers may claim to offer comprehensive reproductive health care services, their mission is to discourage people from accessing abortion care.”
