States that ban or restrict abortion have flooded anti-abortion counseling centers with nearly $500 million in taxpayer funding since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago, according to a new report.
Equity Forward, a nonprofit advocacy group focused on issues including reproductive rights, analyzed budgets from 23 states that dedicate public funding to what are known as crisis pregnancy centers —groups that offer counseling and support services to pregnant women while trying to dissuade them from terminating their pregnancies.
In a statement, Equity Forward Executive Director Ashley Underwood criticized Texas and other states for prioritizing funding for these centers over evidence-based programs aimed at improving public health outcomes. 'At least a billion dollars that could have gone to improve maternal health and provide direct support to parents and families was instead poured into the coffers of organizations that face little to no oversight and fail to show a positive impact,' Underwood said.
