Marzola and González Are Lying to Nevada Women about Pregnancy Centers
Let's not dance around it.
Nevada Democrat Assemblywomen Elaine Marzola and Cecelia González went on X this week and lied.
Not misspoke. Not oversimplified. Not got a little carried away.
Lied.
I was lured into a crisis pregnancy center in college. Instead of healthcare, I got misinformation, judgment, and pressure when I needed support. The harm is real. We WILL keep fighting to protect access to medically accurate, evidence-based, and judgement free care. #NVLeg https://t.co/ENtBYpQ0GT

Marzola called crisis pregnancy centers “dangerous” organizations pushing an “extremist agenda.”
González claimed she was personally “lured” into one, where she received nothing but “misinformation, judgment, and pressure.”
They’re both lying through their teeth.
Let's Talk About These Dangerous Extremists
In 2024, pregnancy resource centers across America served over one million new clients.
Not one million ambushed victims. One million women who looked up the number, picked up the phone, and showed up voluntarily.
Those dangerous extremists handed out over 6.3 million packs of diapers. Nearly 5 million baby outfits. More than 373,000 cans of formula.
They performed 636,000 free ultrasounds. They spent more than $450 million of privately donated money helping women in need.
When those women were asked what they thought of their experience, 99.19% said it was positive.
Ninety-nine percent.
Marzola looked at those numbers and called it an “extremist agenda.”
González looked at those numbers and called it a “lure.”
This isn't ignorance. You don't accidentally stumble past a million satisfied clients, $450 million in charitable services, and a 99% satisfaction rate on your way to a good-faith mistake.
These two women know exactly what pregnancy centers do. They just don't care, because the abortion lobby needs these centers destroyed, and Marzola and González are happy to do the dirty work.
The “Lured” Insult
Let's spend a moment on González's word choice, because it deserves special contempt.
Lured.
She was lured. Like prey. Like a mouse into a trap.
González is a sitting Nevada Assemblywoman. She uses her platform daily to lecture Nevadans about healthcare, autonomy, and women's rights.
And her best explanation for why she voluntarily walked into a pregnancy center in college is that she was lured?
Here's what actually likely happened.
She saw an advertisement for free pregnancy services. She went. She didn't like what she heard. And presumably found somewhere else to get her abortion.
Now she's turned that personal grievance into a political smear against thousands of volunteers who never did anything to her except offer an opinion she disagrees with.
That's not testimony. That's a grudge dressed up as policy.
Meanwhile, the 80% of women who visit these centers while planning to continue their pregnancies – the ones looking for free diapers and baby clothes and a kind word from someone who won't judge them – they don't get a mention in González's tweet.
Because those women don't fit the narrative. They're inconvenient. So González pretends they don't exist.
That's called lying by omission. And elected officials who do it to advance a political agenda deserve to be called out for it loudly.
Marzola's Shameless Power Play
Marzola's version is somehow worse, because it's more calculated. She didn't just share a personal story. She issued a declaration.
Crisis pregnancy centers are “dangerous.” They “cause real harm.” They push an “extremist agenda” by failing to provide “life-saving care, including abortion.”
Read that last part carefully.
In Elaine Marzola's world, a pregnancy center that doesn't perform abortions isn't just incomplete. It's dangerous. It causes harm. It's extreme.
By that logic, your church is dangerous. Your local food pantry is dangerous.
Any organization in Nevada that helps pregnant women without also offering to end the pregnancy is, according to this assemblymember, a threat to public health.
This is the abortion industry's talking points dressed in legislative clothing.
Marzola chairs the Assembly Commerce and Labor Committee. She has real power. And she's using that power to paint a target on volunteer-run nonprofits that dare to offer women a choice she doesn't approve of.
That's not healthcare advocacy. That's a bully with a gavel.
The Nevada Women They're Throwing Under the Bus
Here's what makes this especially galling.
The Crisis Pregnancy Center in Reno has been serving Nevada women since 1983.
Forty-plus years of free services, confidential counseling, and genuine support for women facing one of the hardest moments of their lives.
Its pro-bono legal counsel calls it a warm, welcoming, nonjudgmental space. Its motto is We Are Here to Help, Not to Judge.
Marzola just called those people dangerous extremists.
González just told the world she was lured by people like them.
Every volunteer who has ever spent a Saturday morning at a Nevada pregnancy center, every donor who has ever written a check to stock a diaper shelf, every woman who walked out of one of those centers with free formula and a little more hope than she walked in with deserves an apology from both of these legislators.
They won't get one.
Because this was never about truth. It was never about women's health. It was about protecting the abortion industry's market share, and Marzola and González just volunteered to be its attack dogs.
Say It Plain
Some pregnancy centers have spread medically questionable information. That's documented, it's a legitimate concern, and centers that do it should be held accountable for it.
But that is not what Marzola and González said. They didn't call for accountability or transparency or better disclosure requirements.
They called the entire enterprise dangerous and extremist.
That is a lie.
A deliberate, politically motivated lie told by two elected officials who have chosen the abortion lobby over the truth, and over the Nevada women who benefit every single day from the services they're trying to destroy.
Over a million women chose pregnancy resource centers last year. Almost all of them left grateful.
Two Nevada Democrat Assemblywomen looked at that and called it dangerous.
So here's what every voter in Nevada ought to be asking right now:
If the volunteers handing out free diapers are the dangerous extremists, what does that make the two legislators trying to shut them down?
