It is becoming clear from research Live Action News is uncovering that the abortion<\/a> industry is running scared of real options for pregnant women. Abortion enthusiasts are increasingly working to steer pregnant women away from pro-life pregnancy care centers that offer women a multitude of real alternatives to abortion. Instead, these well-funded groups believe the only choice women need to kill their children for money exists inside an American abortion facility. One of these groups, Provide, Inc., trains health workers and women’s organizations to refer pregnant women to abortion facilities rather than pro-life pregnancy centers (and, by the way, is free to advertise on Twitter, while Live Action is being censored).<\/p>\n

Provide, Inc. promoted the Tweet below in May, to promote its 2017 evaluation report. The pro-abortion organization<\/a>, founded in 1992, seeks “to make sure that women have access to abortion.”<\/p>\n

In this\u00a0promoted tweet<\/a>, the organization says it trained 1,833 providers and reached 269 sites. The\u00a02017 Evaluation Report<\/a>, emphasizes the fact that this “training” emphasizes pushing women towards abortion facilities and deliberately away from<\/strong><\/em> pro-life pregnancy resource centers (PRCs).<\/p>\n

On its\u00a0website<\/a>, Provide claims the organization, “offers CEU-eligible professional development training and\u00a0technical assistance for health and social service providers on how to give accurate, informed, and non-judgmental referrals for unintended pregnancy and abortion care.”<\/p>\n

Some “training<\/a>” topics offered by the organization include making sure abortion is “place[d]… in the context of necessary reproductive health care,” “address[ing] common myths about abortion, “increas[ing] comfort with local abortion… service providers,” and “refer[ring] patients\/clients to local abortion… providers.”<\/p>\n

Another goal? To “[i]ncrease knowledge about, and opposition to, centers that misinform or manipulate women with unintended pregnancy.”<\/p>\n

Misinforming<\/em> women<\/a>? Manipulating<\/em> women<\/a>? While Provide no doubt thinks pregnancy centers fit this description, the abortion industry is actually doing these things, and it does them while making money off of women<\/em> in their time of crisis.<\/p>\n

Pregnancy centers don’t. All their services, pregnancy and STD testing, ultrasounds, clothing, baby and maternity needs, and referrals to social services are free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, by the end of Provide’s training, “75% of providers who were referring to Crisis Pregnancy Centers stopped doing so,” the document states. Remember… pregnancy centers don’t make money from the women who come to them. Not a penny. Abortion facilities cannot say the same. It is obvious from the chart below that Provide exists simply to funnel more women to the already profitable abortion industry. So much for actually providing women with tangible help.<\/p>\n
