Not even calling them “scams”. Merely saying “they do not offer abortions or referrals for abortion”. It was literally the minimum Yelp could do.

There are a few crisis pregnancy centers around me. None of them pretend to offer abortion services. In fact, they go out of their way to let mothers know of the material help offered to expectant mothers. And, sure, lots of them are supported by religious organizations. That doesn’t make them bad.

EDIT: This is posted to c/technology because it involves Yelp? That’s quite a stretch. If we’re going to allow anything that even touches a bit of technology into this community, this might as well be a general, free discussion community.

I’ve done volunteer work at a couple, but all we really did was pickup and distribute donations. I was a dumb teen, so they may have done more, but at a base level they just seemed like a Goodwill that doesn’t charge, but only deals with diapers, formula and stuff like that. If I were struggling to make ends meet and needed diapers, they’re one of the first places I would call.

What makes them bad is that they deliberately overplay the risks of abortion to people in vulnerable situations.

If anyone is interested, The Satanic Temple has a printable flyer that warns people about crisis pregnancy centers on their website. here is a direct link to the PDF file.

Can we not use slurs please? Comparing people with downs to these Republicans is an insult to the disabled.

Only because it serves their own self interest.

If yelp advertised a known trap as a legitimate organization, they would lose what little respect they have as a review site.
