About the event

Stand with the YWCA for Reproductive Rights

Because we are in a battleground state for women's reproductive rights with Prop 139 on the Nov 5 ballot, we are hosting a screening of the thought-provoking documentary PRECONCEIVED.

Preconceived showcases an impressive variety of perspectives including two women who went to crisis pregnancy centers, CPC staff, President of the anti-abortion organization Heartbeat International, Catholics for Choice, abortion clinic staff, and medical & legal experts in the field of reproductive rights.

About the film

Where does someone turn when facing an unplanned pregnancy? "Preconceived" is a raw and insightful look into the rise of the enigmatic crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) pervading America. Shedding light on how many of these centers are a part of a movement striving to make abortion unthinkable and illegal, the documentary explores the complex role of deception, finances, faith, and privacy. 

"Preconceived" follows the stories of two women, Maleeha in Texas and Maria in Colorado, whose searches to terminate their unplanned pregnancies misled them to anti-abortion centers. The film also features testimonies from individuals on both sides of the issue including leaders of the CPC industry as well as experts who caution why many CPC practices are problematic. Amid a shifting legal landscape, "Preconceived" underscores the importance of understanding the resources available to pregnant people.
