SUMMARY:Preconceived Film Webinar
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR\nPRECONCEIVED: A DEEPER LOOK INTO THE\nDARK SIDE OF CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS\nJUNE 27\, 8:00 PM ET \nWe are hosting a special screening and follow up\ndiscussion with our expert panelists. \nCrisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) pose as medical facilities  when they are\, in fact\, anti-abortion organizations that utilize bullying and misinformation to prevent pregnant people from accessing abortion care. There are thousands of these “fake clinics” across the United States\, and many states provide millions of dollars to support them each year. Yet\, few people understand their true nature.  Preconceived tells the stories of Maleeha and Maria\, two women who\, while navigating unplanned pregnancies\, inadvertently found themselves at CPCs discouraging them from abortions. The film is a window into these enigmatic centers. Shedding light on how many of these centers are a part of a movement striving to make abortion unthinkable and illegal\, the documentary explores the complex role of deception\, finances\, faith\, and privacy. Amid a shifting legal landscape\, Preconceived underscores the significance of understanding the resources available to pregnant people. \nRegister for the panel here. Then to watch the film before the webinar\, register here using the invitation code PRF-0524. \n \nOur Presenters \nDr. Grace Tillyard is an adjunct professor at the Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies at FIU.
