CPCs Across The U.S.
2,559 CPCs were operating in the U.S. in 2026.*
CPCs are Christian non-profit organizations that primarily aim to deter people from having abortions. CPCs also oppose contraception, sex before marriage, and comprehensive sex education. CPCs often target people seeking reproductive healthcare. Although many centers offer limited health services, they are not typically staffed by licensed clinicians, frequently provide inaccurate health information, and do not adhere to medical or ethical practice standards. Public health and medical organizations warn that CPCs pose risk to individual, family, and public health.
