Check out the conference session Crisis Pregnancy Centers: Anti-Abortion Movement Ground Game on this topic: https://schedule.sxsw.com/2024/events/PP1145084

"Preconceived" tells the stories of Maleeha and Maria, two women who, while navigating unplanned pregnancies, inadvertently found themselves at facilities discouraging them from abortions. The film is a window into these enigmatic centers that some call “pregnancy resource centers” and others call “fake clinics.” Shedding light on how many of these centers are a part of a movement striving to make abortion unthinkable and illegal, the documentary explores the complex role of deception, finances, faith, and privacy. Amid a shifting legal landscape, "Preconceived" underscores the significance of understanding the resources available to pregnant people.
