To them, opposing abortion makes CPCs inherently untrustworthy\u2014as if championing abortion isn&#8217;t ideological (to say nothing of the abortion industry&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/texas\/2015\/01\/01\/planned-parenthood-annual-report-all-about-abortions-and-profits\/\">profit motive<\/a>). This is a classic expression of\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/top-five-cliches-liberals-use-to-avoid-real-arguments\/2012\/04\/27\/gIQAFR1zlT_story.html\">arrogant liberal\u00a0notion<\/a> that they alone embody a clear-eyed devotion to the common good, while everyone else is driven by prejudice and self-interest.<\/p>\n<p>As for the idea that CPCs hide their views, NARAL claims:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>Seventy-five percent of CPCs surveyed in New York\u00a0City do not identify themselves as anti-abortion on\u00a0their websites. While 37.5% explicitly state they do\u00a0not refer women for abortion services, they still claim\u00a0to be unbiased and provide accurate information.\u00a0In California, 69% of the CPCs investigated advertise\u00a0their counseling as unbiased.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You may have noticed that 75 plus 37.5 does not equal 100, which means, &#8220;do not identify themselves as anti-abortion&#8221; refers to something other than misrepresenting their services. Turns out that it only means 25 percent of the NY locations use the label &#8220;pro-life&#8221; on their websites. Because apparently women can&#8217;t be trusted to figure out that a website talking about alternatives to abortion and helping them with parenthood or adoption probably isn&#8217;t wild about the practice. (Oddly, NARAL doesn&#8217;t call out Planned Parenthood for pretending to be neutral &#8220;healthcare&#8221; providers: one guess what word doesn&#8217;t appear on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/about-us\/who-we-are\">PP&#8217;s &#8220;Who We Are&#8221; page<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>To see how widespread this really is, let&#8217;s do a little experiment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/#q=crisis+pregnancy+center\">Google &#8220;crisis pregnancy centers<\/a>,&#8221; and share what you find in the comments. If this is such a prevalent tactic, surely examples will be abundant. Your results will vary depending on location, but here&#8217;s the first handful of centers that showed up for me:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.capitolhillpregnancycenter.org\/aboutus.html\">Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/metrowomensva.com\/\">Metro Women&#8217;s Care<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.virginiapregnancy.org\/\">The Pregnancy Centers of Central Virginia<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/pscfarmville.org\/\">Pregnancy Support Center of Southside Virginia<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mosaic-virginia.org\/resources\/considering-abortion\/\">Mosaic Virginia<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.novapregnancy.org\/abortion\/\">Nova Pregnancy Help Centers<\/a>\u00a0all explicitly state that they neither provide nor refer for abortion.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.assistpartners.org\/assist\/about.php\">Assist Pregnancy Center<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpcfriends.org\/contentpages\/21106\/c7490205-3e38-406b-ad35-8868369a56e6\/WhatWeDo.aspx\">Crisis Pregnancy Center of Tidewater<\/a>\u00a0state up front that they\u00a0&#8220;exis[t] to promote life through Christ to those vulnerable to abortion,&#8221; and support\u00a0&#8220;Life for her precious pre-born child and life for her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blueridgewoman.org\/services\/\">Blue Ridge Women&#8217;s Center<\/a>, the fact that they offer parenting classes but their only abortion-related service is post-abortive healing consultations should be a tip-off. If not, they\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blueridgewoman.org\/medical-questions\/\">clarify<\/a>\u00a0that &#8220;our medical clinic neither provides nor refers for abortion.&#8221; And <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bedfordpregnancy.org\/\">Bedford Pregnancy Center<\/a>\u00a0gives a straightforward list of services. Abortion isn&#8217;t there, and the Bible studies, teen abstinence education, and post-abortion healing support that are make clear why.<\/p>\n<p>None of these organizations are trying to give the impression that they offer abortions. Further, the idea that abortion is such a routine staple of comprehensive care that the average person should expect it is another manifestation of NARAL substituting their bias for real medicine. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/prolifeaction.org\/hotline\/2013\/topten08\/\">truth is that<\/a>\u00a0only 0.2% of physicians in the entire country are willing to provide abortions, making it anything but normal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sin #2: CPCs put up billboards where people in need of their services might actually see them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, seriously. That&#8217;s it. NARAL actually tries to scandalize\u00a0<em>billboards<\/em>\u2014not their content, but the mere act of putting them up:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>To reach their \u201ctarget\u201d audience of women they feel are vulnerable and \u201cabortion-minded\u201d CPCs purposely place their\u00a0outdoor advertising near high schools, colleges, and low-income neighborhoods.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>A billboard advertising a CPC in Helena, Mont., was located close to a high school.

But in an\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/jill-stanek\/2014\/05\/05\/narals-fake-story-there-were-no-deceptive-pregnancy-center-ads-google\">in-depth look at the controversy<\/a>, Jill Stanek got confirmation from CareNet, CompassCare, Heartbeat International, Heroic Media, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, Online for Life, and Vitae Foundation that none of their ads were removed.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you may have noticed that NARAL\u00a0says that &#8220;abortion\u00a0<em>clinic<\/em>&#8221; yields results for CPCs,\u00a0<em>insinuating<\/em>\u00a0they bid on the exact phrase, but only\u00a0<em>explicitly claim<\/em>\u00a0that they bid on &#8220;abortion&#8221; alone. That&#8217;s because CareNet marketing VP Melinda Gipson tells Stanek they never bought the phrase, and that it more likely came up via Google&#8217;s AdWords bidding engine, in which\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordstream.com\/articles\/what-is-google-adwords\">Google itself ultimately decides what matches<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not dishonest for someone offering abortion alternatives to try to reach people searching for the general subject of abortion, unless NARAL doesn&#8217;t consider women intelligent enough to confuse Google results with the actual contents of a link\u2014especially with the ubiquity of the Internet in today&#8217;s culture, it&#8217;s hard to imagine anyone that unfamiliar with how search engines work.<\/p>\n<p>What\u00a0<em>would<\/em>\u00a0be dishonest? If the ads themselves falsely claimed to offer abortion. But as Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Matt Bowman\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/377286\/naral-claims-victory-over-pregnancy-clinic-ads-without-winning-victory-all-matt-bowman\">shows with numerous examples<\/a>, they don&#8217;t. The smear boils down to NARAL thinking that pro-abortion outfits have a monopoly on phrases like &#8220;abortion information&#8221; and &#8220;medical service.&#8221; But don&#8217;t take his word for it\u2014take the justice system&#8217;s:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>After a NARAL-backed law against pro-life centers passed in Montgomery County, Md., Alliance Defending Freedom got a permanent\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adfmedia.org\/News\/PRDetail\/4673\">court order<\/a>\u00a0striking it down.

And not just abortion mills\u2014they cite as examples of nefarious &#8220;co-location&#8221; the fact that &#8220;11 of the 14 state universities in Ohio have a CPC within 5 miles of the campus&#8221; (apparently the real sin is being accessible to young women who Big Choice wants all to itself).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s perfectly legitimate for pregnancy centers to be near abortion mills, to make themselves most easily available to women looking for solutions, to let them know just how accessible the rest of their options are. But with the confusion theory, NARAL is in effect arguing that these women are too stupid to read the name or check the address of a building, both of which they presumably looked up to get there in the first place, before walking into it.
