A consumer complaint has been filed in multiple states accusing pro-life pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) of “deceptive data collection and privacy practices.” The group behind the complaint is none other than the pro-abortion Campaign for Accountability (CFA), which is heavily funded by abortion philanthropists.<\/p>\n

Live Action News previously<\/a> documented the Campaign for Accountability’s<\/a> clear pro-abortion bias<\/a> and pointed attacks meant to discredit pregnancy help centers.<\/p>\n

Archived CFA webpages reveal the group’s purpose<\/a> is to \u201cuse[] research, litigation, and aggressive communications to hold the anti-choice movement accountable.\u201d CFA previously admitted<\/a> to targeting pro-life organizations to stop them from \u201cgaining traction\u201d in ending abortion.<\/p>\n

CFA also wrote<\/a>, “Campaign for Accountability\u2019s Themis Project<\/strong> is working to hold the anti-choice movement accountable and fighting to protect reproductive rights at the state and national level.” In Greek mythology, Themis is a goddess of justice and order. But in an abortion, the right to life of an innocent human being with no voice is taken, without due process\u00a0\u2014 an unjust act.<\/p>\n

CFA’s press release<\/a> alleges that so-called Crisis Pregnancy Centers (now more commonly referred to as pregnancy resource centers<\/em> or pregnancy help centers<\/em>) “appear to violate consumer protection laws by telling clients their personal health information (PHI) is protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)\u2014a law both Care Net and Heartbeat have acknowledged does not apply to the vast majority of these centers.”<\/p>\n

CFA’s consumer complaints follow threats of litigation against pro-life PRCs in other states.<\/p>\n

In October of last year, a\u00a0lawsuit<\/a> was filed<\/a> by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, claiming pro-life pregnancy centers \u201cused fraudulent and misleading claims to advertise an unproven and largely experimental procedure called \u2018abortion pill reversal (APR).\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, the New York State Office of the Attorney General sent a letter of proposed litigation<\/a> to pro-life pregnancy resource centers for alleged \u201cmisleading statements\u201d regarding the so-called \u201cabortion pill reversal\u201d protocol. This protocol involves administering the natural pregnancy hormone progesterone to outcompete the progesterone-suppressing action of the mifepristone abortion pill.<\/p>\n

Campaign for Accountability (CFA) is Pro-Abortion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Campaign for Accountability (CFA) is pro-abortion, yet the group deceptively claims to be “nonpartisan” online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CFA’s consumer complaint<\/a> claims it is “a nonprofit organization that exposes misconduct and malfeasance in public life,” but as Live Action News will demonstrate, the group is clearly pro-abortion \u2014 although it’s been archiving its older web pages to obscure this fact.<\/p>\n

CFA previously<\/a> called on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to \u201cseize the website domains\u201d for groups that market APR, and\u00a0even\u00a0sent a\u00a0letter<\/a> asking the FDA to shut down the websites<\/a> of pro-life organizations that promote APR.<\/p>\n

An e-mail sent to Minnesota supporters by Gender Justice (a pro-abortion group funded<\/a> by the Buffett Foundation) claimed CFA recently filed consumer complaints in multiple states, like Minnesota<\/a>, Idaho<\/a>, New Jersey<\/a>, Pennsylvania<\/a>, and Washington<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These CPCs\u2014in Idaho, Minnesota, N. Jersey, Penn., and Washington\u2014appear to deceptively suggest to consumers that they're health providers, but, in reality, operate as \u201cministries\u201d primarily focused on stopping abortions.
