I urge anyone who is considering termination to not come here, even if only for a free ultrasound. They advertise on their website that they educate people about termination here and “will explain your options” which is completely untrue. They have unethical practices that I’ve outlined in my experience below:I had many concerns when it came to continuing my pregnancy; one of which was the current state of my mental health, as I have BPD, which is genetic. I voiced this concern with the “nurse” (I’m not even sure if they’re actually real nurses/medical professionals here) and she insisted I speak with their receptionist (who is not at all a qualified medical professional in any way, mind you). Their receptionist told me a tale of her mother’s disorders and how BPD is not genetic (which is a lie, it absolutely is) and how she ended up fine despite her mother having it, which again was untrue because she explained to me that she (the receptionist, herself) has multiple mental disorders, as well.After trying to convince me not to terminate with that scheme, the “nurse” insisted I have an ultrasound (which is fine, I ultimately went there to only confirm I was pregnant anyway). During the ultrasound, she had me listen to the “heartbeat”. The problem with this is: when I went to my gynecologist, following my visit at the CARE center, two separate doctors and their nurse confirmed there was no heartbeat at the time of their ultrasound. So the “heartbeat” I heard at the CARE center was not real. Before I left the center, I explained that I was still considering termination. The “nurse” was visibly angered by my mindset and flippantly offered a baby blanket “to help with grieving” and gave me a box with a baby onesie and a bible in it. Again, if you are considering or even curious about termination, do not come here. They will make you feel guilty, lie to you, and apparently, fake heartbeats to further their agenda.
