Sounds like the Minnesota legislature will face tough budgetary decisions this spring. Here’s something we could cut: the money we allot to fraudulent health centers year after year. Money down the drain. #mnleg https://twitter.com/WentRogue/status/1214253020587933696
Do *you* think Minnesota should be shoveling $112,500 into an organization that tells people that abortion is reversible? I DON'T. They're quacks, they're dangerous, and they should be run out of town. #mnleg https://guidingstarwakota.org/home/medical-services/abortion-pill-reversal/
Here's another one. The "Health Resource Center" of Fergus Falls raked in $199K last year through Minnesota's Pawlenty-era "Positive Alternatives" grant program, and they're eager to help you reverse that abortion! #mnleg https://hrcff.org/be-informed/abortion-information
"Helping Hand Pregnancy Resources" in Worthington, Minnesota, received $199,280 in the current #mnleg grant cycle to tell people, among other things, that abortion is a "drastic dissicion" and you can probably reverse an abortion that's underway http://helpinghandworthington.org/choices
Anyway, I did the math. In the current funding cycle, Minnesotans paid $4,810,709 for the "Positive Alternatives" program. Most of that money went to so-called crisis pregnancy centers. A little of it went to legit orgs. #mnleg #ExposeFakeClinics https://www.health.state.mn.us/docs/people/womeninfants/positivealt/paagrantees201920.pdf
Crisis pregnancy centers get away with scaring the bejesus out of people. Imagine being told this horror story and then, because you were always going to get an abortion, heading to a legitimate clinic believing they might literally butcher you. https://www.thecut.com/2015/10/first-legal-abortionists-tell-their-stories.html
I figure I'll just keep it up. Ever wonder how Betsy DeVos likes to have fun when she's not destroying public education from the inside out? By bankrolling crisis pregnancy centers. #ExposeFakeClinics https://www.npr.org/2018/08/02/630112697/devos-family-money-is-all-over-the-news-right-now
"From a public health standpoint, these centers endanger people by misinterpreting and misrepresenting medical evidence. States implicitly endorse these centers when they provide support for them." (cough cough #mnleg) https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/why-crisis-pregnancy-centers-are-legal-unethical/2018-03 #ExposeFakeClinics
Minnesota should immediately stop funding so-called crisis pregnancy centers. But don't take MY word for it; here's what the American Medical Association's Journal of Ethics has to say. #mnleg
Minnesota's "Options for Women," a Heartbeat International affiliate, continues to receive money allocated by the Minnesota legislature and promotes the discredited notion that abortion is reversible—$112K just this funding cycle. https://optionsforwomeneast.com/services/abortion-pill-reversal/ #mnleg
My favorite part of this @UnRestrictMN video is when @V_V_G says, "I'M funding this?!!" Most people don't realize that the state of Minnesota funnels money to fraudulent health centers (aka crisis pregnancy centers) https://unrestrictmn.org/community/minnesotans-react-5-abortion-providers-98-fakes/ #ExposeFakeClinics #mnleg
