Obria Group presents a nurturing face as a crisis pregnancy center, yet operates with deceptive motives. These centers lure pregnant people with free services to dissuade them from pursuing abortions. Advocates criticize this tactic, advocating for real healthcare investments rather than misleading centers. The state's oppressive abortion ban is linked to an increase in pregnancy-related deaths and a lack of transparency in maternal health oversight, as evidenced by the recent closure of a maternal mortality review committee.
Obria, a crisis pregnancy center (CPC), is just one 'fake clinic' employing a Trojan-horse strategy to take advantage of pregnant people. By luring people in with free services such as counseling and pre-abortion screenings, CPCs fulfill a greater agenda: to deter people from getting abortions.
Alicia Stallworth, director of Georgia campaigns for Reproductive Freedom For All, stated, 'They deserve investments in real health care infrastructure, not deceptive centers that profit from confusion and fear.'
Dawn Hughes, former Obria CEO, said, 'They are zealots. They don't want a pregnant woman who is looking for help... their whole goal is to get you to say: 'I'm going to keep the baby.''
Georgia has seen a 20% increase in pregnancy-related deaths over the past two years, while the state also shut down its maternal mortality review committee after the findings were disclosed.
