Governmental:

-         Direct federal funding of CPCs began in 2000 via the Special Projects of Regional Significance Program.  $3 million was channeled directly to CPCs in 2000, doubling to $6 million by 2002[1].

-         A 2006 report by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) suggests over $30 million of federal tax dollars have gone towards crisis pregnancy centers since 2001 [2].  However, a Washington Post review of federal records states that amount is well over $60 million [3].

-         States of Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Texas have state-subsidized funding for CPCs [4].

-         In Texas: a 2006 round of tax cuts for social services effectively drained $25 million from family planning services.  $5 million of that money was reallocated to support CPCs [5].

-         In 2004, Michigan passed a bill to provide government grants for non-profits to provide “free or low cost reproductive health services to low-income women.” This bill, however, also prevented the distribution of ultrasound machines to clinics that provide abortions, leaving deceptive CPCs as the main beneficiary of these grants [1].

-         Via the 2005 Positive Alternatives Act, the State of Michigan channeled $5 million over the course of four years to nonprofits that “encourage women to carry their pregnancies to term” (CPCs) [1].

-         Missouri allocated $1,330,000 to “abortion alternatives programs” (CPCs) in 2004 [1].

-         The state of Pennsylvania gives over $4.3 million a year to CPCs.  They also withhold state funding from abortion clinics [1].

-         In 2004, Delaware gave $39,398 to a single crisis center [1].

-         Louisiana allocated $1 million in state funds for CPCs [1].

-         Following in the footsteps of the state of Florida (as signed into law by then-Governor Jeb Bush), “Choose Life” vanity license plates are being sold in 18 different U.S. states, the proceeds of which go to fund CPCs.  No comparable pro-choice vanity plate has been approved by state legislature [6].
