Washington Senate seeks to regulate crisis pregnancy centers

According to a Family Policy Institute of Washington email, “Sen. Rodney Tom’s bill (SB 6452) to encourage lawsuits against crisis pregnancy centers (CPC) is scheduled for a vote in the Senate Health and Long-Term Care Committee this morning at 10 a.m . . . The amended bill allows an ‘aggrieved party’ to bring a private cause of action against crisis pregnancy centers without limiting who can be be an ‘aggrieved party’. In fact, the amended bill allows someone to make a claim against a CPC and be awarded damages without even proving any damages. Anyone who feels ‘aggrieved’ can sue regardless of whether or not they have been injured.”
