The Feminist Majority Campus Team has declared the week of Halloween (October 25-31) The CPC Week of Action, aimed at exposing Crisis Pregnancy Centers for what they really are: Pro-life organizations preying on vulnerable women and feeding them fear and guilt when it comes to abortion.

Seriously, these organizations will do anything.

Starting in kindergarten, and continuing on through middle school, I went to a catholic school. In front of our school was always a sign for one of these centers, with a picture of the Virgin Mary and the promise of someone who will "really listen to you." It turns out this center is run by my local Catholic Pro-Life Organization, a group that holds candle vigils outside Planned Parenthoods and who try to say abortion will give you breast cancer and leave you suicidal, guilty, and hating life.

They post so-called "facts" on their website, such as:
 
"93% of teens feel that they should be given a strong message that abstinence is the best choice."
 
Where did they get that figure? Does that seem right to anybody? The strong majority of high school students I know believe comprehensive sex education that includes information about birth control is the best choice. Here's another "fact:"
 
"Condoms don't prevent pregnancy. They have an annual contraceptive failure rate of 17.4% among teens, 36.3% among unmarried minority women, and 44.5% among unmarried Hispanics."
 
Does this not sound incredibely racist to you? They're basically saying minority women don't know how to use condoms. I wonder why that is? Maybe because they're being fed abstinence-only sex ed!
 
Join me and the Feminist Majority in the fight against CPCs. Information should be objective and factual, not guilt-driven and in some cases, prejudiced. We have the right to choose what to do with our bodies, and we don't need to put up with this.
