Sam Bee and master illusionist, comedian Patton Oswalt unveil the diabolical sleight of hand that anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers use to trick women into thinking they are abortion clinics run by certified medical staff! Vulnerable women who expect professional care are told lies, shown false test results and scared witless, until the idea of aborting a fetus is unthinkable. Oddly, when the fetus becomes a baby for whom you can’t provide, they aren’t helpful at all. Motto: It may be a baby to you, but it’s money to us!
The deceptive, dangerous practice sounds highly illegal, but these cons are not in jail. Thanks to lawmakers like Georgia’s Renee Unterman, they receive millions of dollars in state and federal money for abstinence education. If this is teaching abstinence education, the practice of Shanghaiing is a prudent and humane means of crewing a ship.
These con artists and swindlers enjoy freedom, a plump pocketbook and the satisfying feeling that comes from knowing you’ve tricked someone into doing the right thing for you.
