Texas AG sues Yelp for being honest about crisis pregnancy centers

[riversedge]

1. .... Paxton is, like many Republicans, seeking to boost CPCs.....

So so so true!!



.........Yelp did change the notice when Paxton originally complained, despite the fact that the notice was truthful. But Paxton is still suing because the point is not to protect consumers or ensure factual information about CPCs—quite the reverse. Paxton is, like many Republicans, seeking to boost CPCs.

It’s a move that shows how little Republicans care about women’s health or proper prenatal care. CPCs don’t provide health care or prenatal care (or even necessarily referrals to prenatal care, for heaven’s sake). They exist to talk people out of having abortions. Republican state lawmakers are heavily promoting CPCs, with 12 states passing at least $250 million in funding or tax credits for CPCs this year.

Paxton’s lawsuit against Yelp for offering accurate information is part of that broader effort to eliminate clinics that provide real health care, and to boost anti-abortion messaging centers that do not.
