    “No one knows if it works.”

    Yes they do. CPCs deliberately lie to people, especially teens, about abortion and have for years in order to scare them out of getting one. It works as intended, unfortunately.

    The Planned Parenthood in this town shut down not long before Dobbs started being deliberated. They didn’t have enough funding to keep the place open. Meanwhile, the local CPC has a big downtown office with a huge custom RV/Bus thing that does who knows what and they’re allowed to do “sex education” in the public schools.
