Samantha Bee explores the shocking lies of anti-abortion 'crisis pregnancy centers'

This time the show looked at Senator Unterman signing legislation for anti-abortion centers. Georgia can now give state money to pregnancy resource centers that offer services to women while discouraging abortions.
To explain what anti-abortion centers (also known as crisis pregnancy centers) do, the show called in comedian Patton Owsalt to be the face of a segment spoofing the classic Orson Welles movie "F for Fake."

Owsalt, wearing a black cape and fedora as Welles does in the movie, plays our guide as the segment (titled "F For Abortion!") delves into the very serious subject of the unethical, false tactics anti-abortion centers use on pregnant women.
Those tactics include coming up with company names and logos that look similar to real abortion clinics, locating near real abortion clinics, and claiming that the centers provide the full range of reproductive health care services when they do not. Often women are even given fake ultrasound results that make it look like their pregnancy is further along than it really is.
The segment also includes a woman who has gone through the experience of showing up at an anti-abortion center, who gives some chilling recollections.
