Pro-choicers stepping up their game
NARAL Pro-Choice New York has revealed a national strategy aimed at shutting down pro-life pregnancy centers in urban areas and directing women to abortion providers.
Care Net is a national operation of pro-life centers designed to convince women to save their babies' lives. Spokesman Dean Nelson tells OneNewsNow the NARAL strategy is telling.
"Essentially what they hope to do is to connect with city council members [and] county council members in urban areas to try to place high restrictions and stiff penalties and fines on pregnancy centers," he explains.
So abortion proponents are looking for left-wing elected officials who might enact ordinances against the pro-life centers, in spite of the fact that a federal court declared similar ordinances in Baltimore unconstitutional.
"I was there in Baltimore, and I could not find one pastor in Baltimore that was supportive of this particular ordinance," Nelson accounts. "When you communicate to these leaders that these restrictions are trying to close down faith-based centers that are providing free services to women in need, they are actually...quite upset about it."
So he is hopeful Care Net will find that level of resistance when NARAL and its supporters try to force the restrictions on pro-life clinics.
