Crisis pregnancy centers are growing in number across the country, and here in California.
They offer pregnancy services from an anti-abortion perspective and are privately funded.
Starting next year, a new state law requires these clinics to tell their patients that the state offers free or low-cost abortions and birth control.
The pregnancy centers say that's a fundamental violation of their free speech rights. A center in Redding, and another in Marysville have filed for an injunction against the law. Should such centers be forced to send patients toward information the centers see as harmful?
