Connecticut lawmakers are voting on a controversial bill targeting so-called crisis pregnancy centers.
The centers include faith-based centers like Hopeline in Stamford and Bridgeport, which do not recommend abortion.
Legislators say the bill would ban pregnancy centers from making "deceptive" claims and would let the state's attorney general go to court to stop them.
Pregnancy centers in Connecticut insist they give out accurate information.
