We, the undersigned, urgently call upon the Florida Legislature and Governor Ron DeSantis, as well as the Florida Department of Health, to end all public funding for crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs). These centers are unregulated, deceptive facilities that undermine public health, erode civil liberties, and endanger lives.

Why Florida Must Act Now

1. CPCs deliberately delay access to legitimate healthcare.

Florida currently enforces a six-week abortion ban. Under this restrictive law, time is critical. CPCs often mislead patients by using delay tactics (requiring multiple unnecessary ultrasounds, offering misleading information about gestational age, or scheduling appointments far in the future) to push individuals past the legal window for abortion access.

2. CPCs distribute medically inaccurate information.

There is extensive documentation that CPCs provide false or misleading claims. These include assertions that abortion causes infertility, breast cancer, or mental illness. Some centers promote unproven and potentially harmful “abortion reversal” procedures or misrepresent gestational age in order to manipulate patient decisions.

3. CPCs compromise patient privacy.

Because most CPCs are not licensed medical facilities, they are not bound by laws that protect patient data. In a state where abortion is criminalized, the absence of privacy protections puts individuals at serious risk.

Add Your Name to the Petition

We, the undersigned, demand the state to:

• Stop allocating state funds, entirely, to crisis pregnancy centers in Florida.

• Redirect the $30 million in taxpayer money toward programs that actually help Floridians: real healthcare, mental health services, housing assistance, education, and community safety.
