Short Answer: No.
When you’re looking for answers about pregnancy, it can be hard to know who to trust. You may have seen people online calling some centers “fake clinics” and wondered what that’s all about.
At Options Women’s Care Center, the goal is simple: provide free information, support, and medical services so you can make an informed decision about your pregnancy and protect your health. The medical services are provided by licensed medical staff and overseen by a medical director. Not only that, OWCC is very clear about the services it does and does not provide.
Why Do Some People Call Certain Centers “Fake”?
The criticism usually comes from people who believe all clinics should offer abortions or refer directly for abortions. Since Options Women’s Care Center does not perform or refer for abortions, some critics would claim that OWCC is a “fake clinic.”
However, not providing every possible service doesn’t make a healthcare organization fake. Many healthcare facilities specialize in certain services and not others.
What Services Does Options Women’s Care Center Provide?
Options Women’s Care Center offers services designed to help you understand your pregnancy and your options, including:
- Pregnancy testing
- Limited Ultrasound services
- Information about parenting, adoption, and abortion
- Emotional support
- Referrals for additional community resources
The purpose is to give you information about your pregnancy so you can make decisions with a clearer understanding of your situation.
Why Is an Ultrasound Important?
A positive pregnancy test doesn’t tell you everything.
An ultrasound can help determine:
- How far along you are
- Whether the pregnancy is developing in the uterus
- If there is a detectable heartbeat
Having accurate medical information can help you better understand your next steps. Without having the above information, you could be putting your health at risk or spending money on an abortion that may not be needed.
You Deserve Honest Information
No matter what you’re considering, you deserve a place where you can ask questions without pressure. It’s okay to take time, gather information, and learn about all your options before making a decision.
The Bottom Line
Calling Options Women’s Care Center a “fake clinic” doesn’t tell the whole story. The center provides real medical services, real support, and real information to women facing unexpected pregnancies.
If you’re unsure what to do next, getting the facts about your pregnancy can be a good first step. Options Women’s Care Center is a great place to start.
