Yelp opted to make it harder for women to find the help they need in their greatest time of need. The company decided to slap a warning label on all crisis pregnancy centers to ward off women who need their services. The warnings force the trope that “pregnancy centers are misleading” onto any woman in need. Not only has this absurd label been disproven many times, but it is a blatantly political move.
Yelp’s decision also comes at a time when pregnancy centers are facing “an unprecedented rash of attacks,” SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement.
“Shame on Big Tech companies like Yelp for colluding with the abortion lobby in their war on compassionate pregnancy help,” she said. “Discriminatory labels are not meant to inform, but to scare women away from receiving the support and resources they need.”
The “notice” claims that pro life pregnancy centers offer limited medical services and may not have medical professionals onsite. The president of Pro-Life America, Marjorie Dannenfelser stressed how misleading Yelp’s move is.
She said the following in a statement you can find here.
“America’s pregnancy centers exist to serve women and families, taking financial pressures and other types of coercion out of the equation,” she said. “If Big Tech’s labels were truthful, they’d highlight all the real services pregnancy centers provide that Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry don’t, such as diapers, formula, clothing, strollers, parenting and childbirth classes, education and career help, and much more — typically free of charge.”
This is a blatant attempt to harm pro-life pregnancy centers. The real victims are the women who will have a much harder time finding the help they need.
