Editor's Note:  On Monday, July 24, 2023, the Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure held a hearing on several bills, including a bill seeking to ban what it calls "deceptive advertising" by crisis pregnancy centers, which are also known as pregnancy resource centers.
