West Virginia is burdened with 34 of these fake clinics, one of which (strategically named “Woman’s Choice”) is located less than 50 feet from the state’s sole abortion provider, the Women’s Health Center. Now, imagine you’re someone seeking abortion care living in the state of West Virginia. This sort of scenario is not at all uncommon, and unfortunately, it’s not the most sinister way CPCs block reproductive health access. But these tactics, though they aren’t blatantly aimed at blocking reproductive health access, are still often coercive and deceitful. Despite the lack of governmental oversight in these faux medical organizations, there are still efforts to combat their unchecked operations in West Virginia.
