Crisis pregnancy centers are not licensed health care providers. These centers may offer low-cost resources, such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, or baby clothes, but they do not offer:

• Abortions
• Contraceptives
• Other medical care

Some centers try to stop people from getting abortions or give misinformation about abortion. Since they are not licensed health care providers, the centers are not required by law to keep your personal information private.

By New York City law, pregnancy services centers must disclose that they do not:

• Have a medical provider on-site
• Provide abortion care
