Some abortion-rights supporters in Massachusetts are targeting anti-abortion pregnancy centers — often called “crisis pregnancy centers,” which advertise free services and counseling for women struggling with unplanned pregnancies. But critics say the centers use deceptive tactics and need to be reined in when it comes to how they market themselves.
