The Crisis Pregnancy Centers of Greater Phoenix might have made a legal oopsie with that Prop 102 contribution
I just can’t let go of this. I was supposed to go to the gym, dammit! But I’ve been busy emailing my contacts about this and cruising the web for dirt on these “crisis pregnancy centers”* and I came across this little lovely nugget by Mark R.
