At the time of writing this report, the Florida Legislature allocated $4 million a year of taxpayer funds to the Florida Pregnancy Support Services Program. Now, they allocate $29.5 million to coerce pregnant Floridians away from seeking abortion services. Anti-abortion centers receive the majority of taxpayer money through this program and in direct contravention of the law, it appears these centers proselytize while advancing medically inaccurate and dangerous information, all to pressure a pregnant person to carry their pregnancy to term.
Until taxpayers can be assured that these centers conform to ethical standards of licensed medical facilities, offer sound medical advice, and do not lead to harm, the state of Florida should refrain from directly or indirectly funding anti-abortion pregnancy centers.
