Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) - Crisis Pregnancy Centers

Crisis pregnancy centers deceptively steer woman away from abortion. They can be started way too easily by religious groups like, for instance, a late night talk show’s megachurch.

John Oliver - and his writers - are willing to take on any issue and give it the honest treatment it deserves. There's no one else - or any other show - quite like this out there.

I'm thinking some are actual video tapes. It would be evident if they had enough "repeat" customers, just like when you go to those timeshare hard sell presentations. If you stay long enough, the tape of their "buyers" announcements repeat. Some of those videos they showed seemed way too far along for someone contemplating an abortion.
