The questionnaires, known as client intake forms, give rare insight into the practices of Sage and other crisis pregnancy centers and how they use ambiguous language to describe their services.
These practices are typical for crisis pregnancy centers across the country, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
The tactics used at crisis pregnancy centers often create delays that leave women unable to access abortions, forcing them to continue their pregnancies.
Most crisis pregnancy centers in the United States are affiliated with either Heartbeat International or Care Net, another anti-abortion network.
Like Idaho, North Carolina provides state funding to crisis pregnancy centers.
