Me and my Ex-Wife got taken in by one of these fake PP clinics.
My wife was spotting and we had the goal of going to a Planned Parenthood for some Prenatal care, as we were uninsured at the time (Pre-ACA).
When we went in they offered a Pregnancy test... we were fine with this, like... standard right? Want to make sure she's pregnant and such.
When in there the woman is like: "So... what are your plans?" and we're like: "Well.. we want to make sure there's nothing wrong with the pregnancy and that everything is progressing normally" - she then is like: "Oh... we're not a doctor's office we're just here to provide information."
I got pissed: "Wait, then why bother? We're here for care, that's why we came to Planned Parenthood - for prenatal care and a doc." - note, we made an appt and both took off of work for this...
I didn't even know what a fake PP was... but I was proper pissed off. She offered to refer us to a few other places, none of which were doctors, and I basically said, point blank: "The reason we came here, was that the symptoms she's showing, are frightening, concerning, and we don't want to miscarriage if we can prevent that. We're looking for a doctor who can specialize in pregnancy." - and we left with nothing.
2 weeks later she miscarried.
I blame the free clinic for slowing down the process of us finding a proper PP which could have handled our situation. Good job fake PP! You ended up killing a baby.
The place is still opened - I am still furious it is still opened.
That's so extra fucked up. These places are dangerous and make absolutely no impact on abortion like they think they do. Unreal that they are allowed to do this shit b
Is not, can we organize some kind of flash mob or DDOS? Like, have thousands of people go in and waste as much time as possible with their "information providers"? Maybe even have them all go in and make stupid puns? "Hey, I'm having trouble with my updog...."
