[00:00:00]Anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers just violate the core tenets of social justice and Catholic social teaching because they bear false witness and they deceive people when they're in this vulnerable position. And frequently what they'll do is they will exploit gaps in the community where care could be provided to new parents. And what they will provide is a band-aid. They will provide maybe diapers, but it's not nearly enough. And anybody who's a parent knows that it's going to take more than some diapers to actually >> diapers, actually.

[00:00:38]>> Exactly. [laughter] To actually support people, they need more than a free pregnancy test. And so my strong response to that is that CPCs are not providing needed assistance because free is not free if it comes at the price of a person's dignity, of their agency, of their access to knowledge.
