Comment on Yelp sues Texas to defend its labeling of crisis pregnancy centers | CNN Business

Yelp argues that its labels for crisis pregnancy centers are not deceptive and that Paxton himself had publicly commended the disclosures as “accurate” in a February press release.

The “label” in question, from the article:

Yelp said it currently applies the following label to crisis pregnancy center listings: “This is a Crisis Pregnancy Center. Crisis Pregnancy Centers do not offer abortions or referrals to abortion providers.”

Paxton is mad that their preachy religious bullshit centers masquerading as abortion clinics are being called out for what they are.

But more importantly, this isn’t about winning. It’s about election-time performance art. Paxton wants to show voters he’s still totally against abortion and please re-elect him.

  He also needs to pay back the senators that just blindly kept him in office. Those votes weren’t free.

Yes. They’re advertisement is aimed at women with unplanned pregnancies. Some of the less scrupulous ones outright lie about what services they provide, though I think laws have been made to address that. Basically they try to convince them not to abort. In the worst cases, they jerk them around by scheduling various appointments “before they can get an abortion” until they are too far along to legally receive one.

Putting plain labeling on them ruins the whole carefully crafted ruse.
