All posts tagged "Crisis Pregnancy Center"

Abortion is already a heavily regulated medical procedure, but Republicans in South Dakota are poised to mandate the harshest regulations of any state yet, including a requirement that women visit an anti-abortion "crisis pregnancy center" before the procedure.

Jill at IBTP posted on this billboard, and Lisa at Sociological Images picked it up, and what I found fascinating about Lisa's post is she didn't mentioned what these ads are for. Obviously, this is a crisis pregnancy center ad. You don't even have to look it up to see that it is. All these ads follow the same formula---young woman, looking down or away shamefacedly for her sluttiness, with language indicating that you, the reader who is in trouble, is scared and completely alone. Jill asks why it has to be this way.
