With anti-abortion groups claiming Connecticut House Bill 7070 singles out pro-life pregnancy centers, Attorney General William Tong threw his support Monday behind a bill that would allow his office to initiate an investigation into “deceptive advertising practices” by limited-service pregnancy centers.

Abortion proponents and opponents both acknowledge that most of the state’s 25 limited-service pregnancy centers are faith-based and anti-abortion. According to the proposed measure, these centers do not provide referrals to clients for abortions or emergency contraceptives.
