Report urges further transparency for Alabama crisis pregnancy centers
The report says 56 centers generated $35 million in revenue in 2024 and urges rules requiring medical directors to be publicly identified.
- A Reproductive Health and Freedom Watch report released in June calls for greater transparency at Alabama crisis pregnancy centers, citing difficulty identifying medical directors at facilities offering ultrasounds and other medical services.
- Alabama's crisis pregnancy center industry generated $35 million in revenue in 2024, while the Pregnancy Resources Act allocates up to $10 million annually in tax credits to donors supporting these centers.
- At least 100 pregnancy centers across 49 states advertise they can rule out dangerous ectopic pregnancies, according to Campaign for Accountability, though medical experts warn centers lack proper licensing and oversight to make such claims safely.
- Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Angie Thomas argued at a Louisiana legislative hearing that medical director supervision provides sufficient regulation, rejecting disclosure requirements; critics counter that centers operate as 'fake clinics' lacking accountability.
- California and Massachusetts require specific licensing for ultrasound providers, yet crisis pregnancy centers nationwide have successfully blocked or overturned similar disclosure laws with legal support from Alliance Defending Freedom.
