Watch out for fake clinics!
Don't be confused by a fake clinic or "crisis pregnancy center!" They are anti-choice organizations, often using inaccurate medical information and coercion. And their staff may not be medical professionals. One of these fake clinics is right here in Nevada County, in Grass Valley - LivingWell. Read more about them here.
For more information, visit the Crisis Pregnancy Centers Watch website.
