anime featuring adult women
there are a lot of great female characters in anime, but sometimes it feels like they’re all supporting characters in shows about men or they haven’t graduated high school yet. I wanted to compile a list of some anime with adult women front and center
kidou keisatsu patlabor on tv:
in the sci-fi future as imagined in 1988, human-piloted robots called labors are used regularly by all kinds of people, including criminals. to combat labor crime, the police develop a special unit of patrol labors—patlabor. instead of following the prestigious division one, we follow a cast of quirky characters in second-string division two, as they solve cases ranging from mundane to dangerous to paranormal
Tumblr media
izumi noa, and why I love her:
she’s incredibly strong-willed and stubborn. she’ll stand up to anyone. she’s obsessed with labors, not just piloting them herself but repairing them and learning about new developments in the field. even though division two is primarily men and there is the “men at work” vibe of so much military and police fiction, noa fits in easily with the guys and no one excludes her. the few times people do question her skills bc of her gender, they’re immediately shut down
other women in the cast:
nagumo shinobu, the captain of division one. we never actually see her or her unit at work, but they have a great reputation. I just love her bc she’s very funny always shutting down the captain of division two and I like that in-universe there are women in leadership roles like this
kanuka clancy, a visiting cop from new york. her relationship with noa is very strong, definitely shippable. she’s adept with a gun, a sword, and a giant robot. she’s the serious member of the team who yells at the others for being dumb but there are still times where she goes completely off the rails and ignores the law to do what she knows is right
wotakoi: love is hard for otaku:
momose narumi is an office worker and a fujoshi. she wants to keep the fujoshi part a secret this time around because things went south for her at her last job once people found out she was an otaku, but it turns out several of her new coworkers are fellow nerds. most importantly, her game-loving childhood friend hirotaka works at the same company, and the two of them reconnect as friends… and soon more than friends. it’s a romance drama involving only nerds
Tumblr media
momose narumi, and why I love her:
she’s a lot like your standard high school girl protagonist who runs out of the house because she’s late for school, but this time she’s late for work. she’s really funny and straightforward, except she thinks she has to hide that side of her at her job. she and hirotaka have a great childhood friends to lovers relationship. she’s kind of rude to him but he adores her (though he’s kind of bad at showing it). I love a cheerful girl/serious guy romance that’s done well and I think this one really is
other women in the cast:
koyanagi hanako, narumi’s new coworker who’s a fellow fujoshi. she’s also a cosplayer, specifically a crossplayer who specializes in cosplaying as handsome guys. she and narumi only met each other under their fandom nicknames before, but they were big fans of each other and hit it off instantly when they meet at work. they’re cute friends even if they always argue about who tops in their ships
psycho-pass:
in a futuristic society, people’s mental health is constantly measured by “psycho-pass” readings which track their emotional state and judge the likelihood that they will commit a crime. naive rookie cop tsunemori akane leads a team of enforcers, people who are considered “latent criminals” too dangerous to live in normal society but who are still useful to the police. akane develops a close relationship with enforcer kougami shinya in particular, but kougami has his own intense relationship with the elusive criminal makishima shogo. as the team of detectives investigate him, they uncover secrets about the system they never wanted to learn and their fates become entwined with makishima’s
psycho-pass is written by urobuchi gen (madoka magica, fate/zero) and if you’re familiar with him you know what to expect. the show is pretty grim and gory. content warnings for rape, violence, gore, body horror, police violence, the predatory lesbian trope, forced institutionalization, and probably a lot of other things I can’t remember. not a light watch, is what I’m saying
Tumblr media
tsunemori akane, and why I love her:
she’s incredibly principled. she sticks to what she believes is right despite immense pressure. it’s precisely because she’s naive and doesn’t understand the system that she is able to fight against it. she grows a huge amount over the course of the series but she never loses her compassion or her sense of right and wrong. she’s pretty badass too
other women in the cast:
karanomori shion, a lab analyst at the public safety bureau. she’s your typical sexy and flirtatious anime character but I think her position within the setting is interesting. although she’s categorized as a “latent criminal” unfit for society, she seems to be valued more than the enforcers. she’s also bisexual and dating a woman, though she plays into the “bisexuals can’t settle down” trope a little. she is not actually the best character or peak representation but I’m pretty attached to her and a certain type of woman will be too
kunizuka yayoi, a lesbian former musician and the only female enforcer. she’s shion’s girlfriend. there is a predatory lesbian character in this series, but it’s not kunizuka. I think her being a lesbian is handled pretty well. she has romantic and sexual relationships with women that are important to her, but she doesn’t hate men or flirt with every woman she meets (traits I hate to see in lesbian characters written by men). she’s really serious and calm but still cute and I love to see her growing respect for akane over the course of the show
death parade:
two people wake up in a strange bar with no memory of how they got there. a mysterious man with white hair named decim and his assistant, a woman known only as “the black haired woman,” ask them to play a game. the games are both absurd and dangerous, and as the contestants play them dark sides of themselves are revealed. decim’s job is to judge them based on their behavior while playing the games, but the black haired woman’s influence causes him to wonder if he’s doing the right thing
like it says in the title, the anime deals with the topic of death, and death by suicide comes up as well. I don’t remember everyone’s backstories but I think violence and abuse come up several times. there are also mannequins that move around on marionette strings which is kind of freaky
Tumblr media
the black haired woman, and why I love her:
it might be wrong to say that she’s the main character when she isn’t introduced until the end of the first episode and her name isn’t revealed for half the show but listen. she’s the emotional core of the show and the person who sets the events in motion. she’s a very emotional person and that’s her strength. her relationship with decim is the classic “woman teaches cold-hearted man to feel” trope but I think it’s an outstanding example bc it centers her emotional experience and the two of them are not explicitly in a romantic relationship. I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers but for her it’s almost unavoidable. I love the way that her story is slowly revealed over the course of the show culminating in an incredible sequence in episode 11. I think her depression is handled so well too. it’s heartbreaking
other women in the cast:
nona, the boss of the arbiters. she’s a schemer who knows a whole lot of things she’s keeping from everyone else. I really like her outfit above all else. baggy pants with suspenders… a great look
mayu, a high school girl who is a contestant in one of the games. she tries to be cutesy but is prone to anger and makes incredible faces. I like that she’s an obsessive fangirl character who’s played for humor but is also shown as being noble and sympathetic
sakura quest:
koharu yoshino is a woman who moved to tokyo to find a job but has no luck. when she finally gets a job offer, it’s to become “queen for a day” of rural manoyama village. upon arriving in manoyama, she learns that she was only hired because they thought she was someone else but they still want her to work there for an entire year. now she lives in a small town and is tasked with both revitalizing the citizens and drawing tourists in, along with the help of four friends. it may not sound funny and heartwarming but it really is. it’s a good story about connecting and reconnecting and also the head of the tourism board wears a chupacabra mask sometimes
Tumblr media
the main characters, and why I love them:
koharu yoshino, queen of manoyama. her struggle in the job market is unfortunately relatable to many people today and I love that she wishes she could have a job as a queen. she’s great and she really comes to love the town despite everything
shiori shinomiya, a very sweet manoyama native. she’s almost too nice but it makes it all the funnier when she gets intense
maki midorikawa, an aspiring actor who is famous among manoyama citizens for a small role she played in the past. she’s serious about acting but her family wishes she would get a more stable job. she can be kind of rude but she does love her friends and her town
sanae kouzuki, a web developer who moved to manoyama to escape the intensity of city life and the negative effects it had on her mental health. the problem is she hates rural life and is afraid of bugs but is too proud to admit it on her blog. the only true city girl among the five
ririko oribe, my favorite of the five. she’s shy but loves cryptids and the occult. it’s very easy to read her as autistic and the other characters affirm her interests and behavior. her love of cryptids even helps the town out when Spanish tourists come in search of a local legend. her relationship with her grandma is really good as well, with the two coming to understand and love each other over the course of the show

 How to Plan the greatest Event in 10 Worry-free Steps
 Wondering how to plan an event? Certain, thinking about it can feel a little like making an effort to study alchemy. You begin along with just a vision as well as a spending plan, at that point you switch it into an event loaded with guests as well as relocating components.

As well as to generate an experience, every little item of the event needs to have to map back to the purpose, from the site to the meals.
youtube
Establishing that purpose begins through dealing with key stakeholders to find out why the event needs to have to take place. We think Marriott's "Conferences Thought of" structure does an excellent work of boiling this principle up to seven potential objectives:
    Commemorate-- Celebrating a success or even milestone (Instance: One millionth client festivity)
    Choose-- Detailing tactics or even a path ahead in some manner (Example: Quarterly board meeting)
    Inform-- For the purposes of expert or educational progression (Example: SaaS consumer seminar)
    Ideate-- Converging to develop brand-new strategies or concepts (Instance: Interior style sprint)
    Network-- Produce chances for folks that may share popular enthusiasms to attach (Instance: Tradeshow)
    Produce-- Attendees interact towards a details target (Instance: Volunteer event)
    Ensure-- Communicating brand-new offerings or ideas to generate desire amongst a brand-new target market (Instance: Item launch event)
How will you assess results?
Some of the absolute most significant pieces of working along with stakeholders is actually to line up on how you'll figure out the success of the event based on the objective. While appearance is a mark of success despite the meeting purpose, excellence generally has multiple levels.
As an example, if the purpose of the event is to promote a new product, the step of results is actually probably mosting likely to be actually the lot of leads created for your sales group.  While for an event where the purpose is to teach, a crucial action of effectiveness are going to likely be how well material translates right into participant engagement.
Your effectiveness as the event planner counts on your capability to certainly not merely create a productive event, yet also your potential to interact that results to stakeholders based on shared performance indications that reveal event ROI.
Lock in your event finances.
You event depends on the function from a visionary viewpoint, but when it pertains to implementation, the facts of what you can perform boil down to your event budget plan.

Yet there are actually plenty more where those originated from! Just take a look at the infographic below that our company produce making use of special survey records gathered by Social Tables.
When you are actually planning your event budget plan, make certain that you are actually including each of these pieces in your quotes to steer clear of examining spending plan.
Pro Idea: Referring budgetary issues, there are covert expenses to keep an eye out for, including late print tasks, or additional audio/visual resources. Price quote anywhere from 3-10% of your complete expenses and consist of within your budget plan to secure you, in the event you obtain any wonderful tips, or even enhancements that might happen after your initial finances.
Determine that your prospective guests are.
Since you know "why" you're planning the event, it is actually opportunity to figure out "who" needs to find. That's often a concern of 1) who's heading to profit from the purpose of the event or 2) that needs to have to be existing to function towards an objective.
For little events where you understand your audience, assembling and also arriving at a guest checklist could be simple. But for larger events like a seminar or even a community-wide event, the attendee swimming pool is actually probably to be a whole lot extra compelling.

Making use of these people to develop targeted techniques ultimately results in even more customized experiences that possess stronger entice the people that you are actually making an effort to reach out to.
A real-life instance of just how to plan around identities

Firstly there is actually the component. You can pick a wood entrance for generating a rural or even fairytale setting around your home.
 There are actually many factors you must choose about, including the colour, the condition, the distance or even the thread of the lumber you desire your entrance to be actually made of. Nevertheless, wood entrances ask for unique focus due to the fact that of their level of sensitivity to climate or weather condition changes and also to different bugs and insects. Certainly, timber gates are certainly not as helpful in using protection as steel entrances for example. Blended with a dark canine with slim and long legs a dual steel gate is actually a promised protection from undesirable guests, however in the exact same opportunity may be fancy and also when incorporated with an entrance automation system, comfortable extremely.
 Nonetheless, if you require actual defense, choose a safety and security gate. There are actually a selection of firms that produce security gates certainly not just for residential usage, yet for commercial areas, universities or even medical facilities. Making use of a safety entrance enable you to temporarily obstruct the accessibility in a particular region, however in the very same time to be actually able to use as well as out in much more than two get access to factors. These entrances happen in various kinds: they can easily work as grills, shutters and even folding window curtains. The security grills coming from an entrance can easily either slide or roll, without destroying the paint, permitting a long condition consumption of evictions. Safety and security grills are long lasting and could be positioned facing glass doors, given that they enable really good exposure. An additional plus to these entrances is that they are actually fairly affordable and do not consume a bunch of area.
 Security gates are actually helpful, not extremely costly, can be simply convenient and also do not need a big area. Security gates typically feature a variety of requests that make you believe even safer. They can include gain access to control, reformatories or slot authority.
 When it pertains to your safety and security, do not create concessions as well as do not clear up along with everything less than the very best. Security gates need to possess one thing additional so as to use that plus surveillance that they are made for. Nonetheless, also security gates may have various styles, different designs, and also they may be constructed from steel or aluminum. They can likewise be actually garnished, may have computerization devices as well as obtain a higher speed performing. This extra that security gates offer in concerns of security performs certainly not need to be actually something expensive or something luxurious, however it is one thing essential for every property, for every shop, for every social area that needs to have security on temporary or long-term.

Faith-Based ‘Clinics’ Want To Replace Planned Parenthood And That’s Dangerous As Hell
Last year, the state of Texas gave anti-abortion organization Heidi Group $1.6 million to provide every health care service to women except abortions. Eight months later, the Heidi Group appears to have fallen flat on its promise. 
This week, the Associated Press reported that the organization has failed in its million-dollar endeavor to “strengthen small clinics that specialize in women’s health” but that don’t offer abortion. And this report comes at a particularly important moment: The GOP’s proposed alternative to the Affordable Care Act would defund Planned Parenthood, something House Speaker Paul Ryan called part of “a conservative wish list” at a press conference last week.
The AP reported that the Heidi Group, which is part of the state’s Alternatives to Abortion plan and whose funds subsidize Crisis Pregnancy Centers throughout the state, “has done little of the outreach it promised, such as helping clinics promote their services on Facebook, or airing public service announcements. It hasn’t made good on plans to establish a 1-800 number to help women find providers or ensure that all clinics have updated websites.” 
The Texas state government’s logic behind the Heidi Group initiative was that women’s health care ought to be provided separately from abortions. The issue, though, is that Crisis Pregnancy Centers don’t employ medical professionals or provide medical services.
CPCs are women’s centers funded by anti-abortion groups (like Heidi Group), with the implicit aim of convincing women not to have abortions. Though many CPCs claim to offer a full range of services to pregnant women, the nearest thing that many CPCs have to medical professionals are sonogram nurses. 
Unlike Planned Parenthood and other health care providers, CPCs do not offer STD tests, Pap smears, contraception advice or implantation, cancer screenings or prenatal care. 
What CPCs do offer is faith-based counseling (often from volunteer counselors, not certified psychologists or psychotherapists) and short-term, quick-fix help often in the form of diapers and baby beds. CPCs are often located within walking distance to abortion clinics, and often place volunteer anti-abortion protestors outside of those clinics to hand out fliers and pamphlets to patients encouraging them not to go to their appointment. Many of them also have misleading names that could easily be confused with the names of actual abortion clinics, like Pregnancy Resource Clinic in Phoenix, Az. or Women’s Care Center, a chain of CPCs in Indiana. 
“Crisis pregnancy centers are given millions of dollars in state funding to manipulate and shame Texans considering having an abortion,” Sharmeen Aly, Communications Coordinator of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, told The Huffington Post on Wednesday. “They are not comprehensive health centers and often provide no medical services. Crisis pregnancy centers exist to prevent people facing unintended pregnancies from accessing abortion care and delay their care to the point where they’re not able to access abortion.”
It is unconscionable that [Crisis Pregnancy Centers] continue to receive millions from the state to peddle their baseless anti-abortion agenda. Sharmeen Aly, Communications Coordinator of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas
Of course, the presence of CPCs isn’t just limited to the state of Texas. 
The 2016 documentary film “JACKSON,” explored what the health care landscape looks like for women in Mississippi, where only one abortion clinic remains. Shannon Brewer, director of Jackson Women’s Health Organization, told HuffPost that what CPCs do to young women is provide a “false hope” that they’ll have support in raising unplanned children. 
“By the time [patients] realize that it’s false hope,” Brewer said, “they’ve already had another baby, and they’re already in the same situation or a worse situation.”
Other states have also had to deal with CPCs, which often outnumber abortion clinics. In Charlotte, N.C., two mobile crisis pregnancy centers park outside A Preferred Women’s Health Center every day to try to get women to pull over before they park at the abortion clinic. The CPC, PRC Charlotte, boasts “no cost” services and “walk-ins welcome” ― traits that many women look for when seeking reproductive health care. PRC Charlotte offers free ultrasounds in their RVs, but otherwise offers zero medical services. 
Some of the pro-choice volunteers outside A Preferred Women’s Health Center told HuffPost in December that PRC Charlotte often uses misleading information, or flat-out lies, to get patients to carry their pregnancies to term.
“Patients have been told that their pregnancy wasn’t ‘attached properly’ and that they would miscarry, so they should cancel their [abortion] appointment,” one volunteer clinic escort told HuffPost. “Another was told that her pregnancy was too far along for an abortion, and that she should cancel, too, even though it wasn’t.”
PRC Charlotte denied these practices, but research has shown that misleading patients is common practice for CPCs, and, back in Texas, Sharmeen Aly agrees.
“These centers use scare tactics and provide scientifically inaccurate information to their patients,” she told HuffPost. “It is unconscionable that they continue to receive millions from the state to peddle their baseless anti-abortion agenda.”
CPCs have become increasingly powerful, with the Heidi Group able to convince the Texas government to give it more than $1 million last year. And in Boise, Id., Brandi Swindell, who started CPC chain Stanton Healthcare, is hoping that CPCs can replace Planned Parenthood altogether. (Though in contrast to the care most CPCs provide ― or rather, don’t provide ― Swindell has said she wants to make STI testing and diagnostic ultrasounds available in her clinics.) 
Swindell told Cosmopolitan last June: “We hope to be much like Margaret Sanger was, a revolutionary of her time... I know, can you believe I’m using her?”
But CPCs still cannot replace the thing that women arguably need most: actual comprehensive health care, provided by licensed medical professionals. And state governments are noticing. 
The Heidi Group’s failure to provide what it set out to provide has been noticed by the commission that provided the group with funding.
Texas Health and Human Services Commission spokeswoman Carrie Williams told the AP that “the bottom line is that we are holding our contractors accountable, and will do everything we can to help them make themselves successful.”
And in Oakland, Ca. last summer, the City Council passed an ordinance requiring CPCs to be transparent about their provided services ― and, perhaps more importantly, what they don’t provide. Oakland Vice Mayor and District 4 City Councilwoman Annie Campbell Washington, who co-authored the ordinance, told HuffPost that her biggest issue with CPCs is their misleading advertising practices.
“I take truth in advertising very seriously. I believe that CPCs are part of a pro-life strategy. They are completely misleading pregnant women who are vulnerable and specifically looking for abortion services,” she said. “If they were marketing their services as ‘We will help you through your pregnancy’ that’s fine. But that’s not what they’re doing. They’re lying to women.” 
She also believes that the government should “absolutely not” be funding CPCs. 
“They’re not providing the services that they claim to be providing,” she said. “They’re misleading women into believe they can get some sort of medical care, which they can’t. They should absolutely not be receiving government funding.”
Local governments in Baltimore, Los Angeles and San Francisco have also put into place legislation meant to combat misleading CPC practices, and now, even in an actively anti-abortion state like Texas, it’s becoming increasingly clear that CPCs are not the answer to expanding women’s access to health care. 
It turns out that the care Planned Parenthood provides to 2.5 million men and women per year is not as easily replaceable as anti-abortion groups want it to be. The Heidi Group’s founder, the staunch anti-abortion advocate Carol Everett, acknowledged her organization’s shortcomings in Texas last week.
“It’s not as easy as it looks,” she said. “Because we are not Planned Parenthood.”

CPCs are women’s centers funded by anti-abortion groups (like Heidi Group), with the implicit aim of convincing women not to have abortions. Though many CPCs claim to offer a full range of services to pregnant women, the nearest thing that many CPCs have to medical professionals are sonogram nurses. 
Unlike Planned Parenthood and other health care providers, CPCs do not offer STD tests, Pap smears, contraception advice or implantation, cancer screenings or prenatal care. 
What CPCs do offer is faith-based counseling (often from volunteer counselors, not certified psychologists or psychotherapists) and short-term, quick-fix help often in the form of diapers and baby beds. CPCs are often located within walking distance to abortion clinics, and often place volunteer anti-abortion protestors outside of those clinics to hand out fliers and pamphlets to patients encouraging them not to go to their appointment. Many of them also have misleading names that could easily be confused with the names of actual abortion clinics, like Pregnancy Resource Clinic in Phoenix, Az. or Women’s Care Center, a chain of CPCs in Indiana. 
“Crisis pregnancy centers are given millions of dollars in state funding to manipulate and shame Texans considering having an abortion,” Sharmeen Aly, Communications Coordinator of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, told The Huffington Post on Wednesday. “They are not comprehensive health centers and often provide no medical services. Crisis pregnancy centers exist to prevent people facing unintended pregnancies from accessing abortion care and delay their care to the point where they’re not able to access abortion.”
It is unconscionable that [Crisis Pregnancy Centers] continue to receive millions from the state to peddle their baseless anti-abortion agenda. Sharmeen Aly, Communications Coordinator of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas
Of course, the presence of CPCs isn’t just limited to the state of Texas. 
The 2016 documentary film “JACKSON,” explored what the health care landscape looks like for women in Mississippi, where only one abortion clinic remains. Shannon Brewer, director of Jackson Women’s Health Organization, told HuffPost that what CPCs do to young women is provide a “false hope” that they’ll have support in raising unplanned children. 
“By the time [patients] realize that it’s false hope,” Brewer said, “they’ve already had another baby, and they’re already in the same situation or a worse situation.”
Other states have also had to deal with CPCs, which often outnumber abortion clinics. In Charlotte, N.C., two mobile crisis pregnancy centers park outside A Preferred Women’s Health Center every day to try to get women to pull over before they park at the abortion clinic. The CPC, PRC Charlotte, boasts “no cost” services and “walk-ins welcome” ― traits that many women look for when seeking reproductive health care. PRC Charlotte offers free ultrasounds in their RVs, but otherwise offers zero medical services. 
Some of the pro-choice volunteers outside A Preferred Women’s Health Center told HuffPost in December that PRC Charlotte often uses misleading information, or flat-out lies, to get patients to carry their pregnancies to term.
“Patients have been told that their pregnancy wasn’t ‘attached properly’ and that they would miscarry, so they should cancel their [abortion] appointment,” one volunteer clinic escort told HuffPost. “Another was told that her pregnancy was too far along for an abortion, and that she should cancel, too, even though it wasn’t.”
PRC Charlotte denied these practices, but research has shown that misleading patients is common practice for CPCs, and, back in Texas, Sharmeen Aly agrees.
“These centers use scare tactics and provide scientifically inaccurate information to their patients,” she told HuffPost. “It is unconscionable that they continue to receive millions from the state to peddle their baseless anti-abortion agenda.”
CPCs have become increasingly powerful, with the Heidi Group able to convince the Texas government to give it more than $1 million last year. And in Boise, Id., Brandi Swindell, who started CPC chain Stanton Healthcare, is hoping that CPCs can replace Planned Parenthood altogether. (Though in contrast to the care most CPCs provide ― or rather, don’t provide ― Swindell has said she wants to make STI testing and diagnostic ultrasounds available in her clinics.) 
Swindell told Cosmopolitan last June: “We hope to be much like Margaret Sanger was, a revolutionary of her time... I know, can you believe I’m using her?”
But CPCs still cannot replace the thing that women arguably need most: actual comprehensive health care, provided by licensed medical professionals. And state governments are noticing. 
The Heidi Group’s failure to provide what it set out to provide has been noticed by the commission that provided the group with funding.
Texas Health and Human Services Commission spokeswoman Carrie Williams told the AP that “the bottom line is that we are holding our contractors accountable, and will do everything we can to help them make themselves successful.”
And in Oakland, Ca. last summer, the City Council passed an ordinance requiring CPCs to be transparent about their provided services ― and, perhaps more importantly, what they don’t provide. Oakland Vice Mayor and District 4 City Councilwoman Annie Campbell Washington, who co-authored the ordinance, told HuffPost that her biggest issue with CPCs is their misleading advertising practices.
“I take truth in advertising very seriously. I believe that CPCs are part of a pro-life strategy. They are completely misleading pregnant women who are vulnerable and specifically looking for abortion services,” she said. “If they were marketing their services as ‘We will help you through your pregnancy’ that’s fine. But that’s not what they’re doing. They’re lying to women.” 
She also believes that the government should “absolutely not” be funding CPCs. 
“They’re not providing the services that they claim to be providing,” she said. “They’re misleading women into believe they can get some sort of medical care, which they can’t. They should absolutely not be receiving government funding.”
Local governments in Baltimore, Los Angeles and San Francisco have also put into place legislation meant to combat misleading CPC practices, and now, even in an actively anti-abortion state like Texas, it’s becoming increasingly clear that CPCs are not the answer to expanding women’s access to health care. 
It turns out that the care Planned Parenthood provides to 2.5 million men and women per year is not as easily replaceable as anti-abortion groups want it to be. The Heidi Group’s founder, the staunch anti-abortion advocate Carol Everett, acknowledged her organization’s shortcomings in Texas last week.
“It’s not as easy as it looks,” she said. “Because we are not Planned Parenthood.”

Faith-Based ‘Clinics’ Want To Replace Planned Parenthood And That’s Dangerous As Hell
Last year, the state of Texas gave anti-abortion organization Heidi Group $1.6 million to provide every health care service to women except abortions. Eight months later, the Heidi Group appears to have fallen flat on its promise. 
This week, the Associated Press reported that the organization has failed in its million-dollar endeavor to “strengthen small clinics that specialize in women’s health” but that don’t offer abortion. And this report comes at a particularly important moment: The GOP’s proposed alternative to the Affordable Care Act would defund Planned Parenthood, something House Speaker Paul Ryan called part of “a conservative wish list” at a press conference last week.
The AP reported that the Heidi Group, which is part of the state’s Alternatives to Abortion plan and whose funds subsidize Crisis Pregnancy Centers throughout the state, “has done little of the outreach it promised, such as helping clinics promote their services on Facebook, or airing public service announcements. It hasn’t made good on plans to establish a 1-800 number to help women find providers or ensure that all clinics have updated websites.”
