City Slickers: Anti-PRC Campaign Goes Local
Speaking of harassment, pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) may be on the receiving end of it in Baltimore, Maryland, where city leader, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, has introduced a bill to discredit and bankrupt PRCs. Under her legislation, these centers would be required to post signs that they don't provide contraception or abortion--or be fined $500 per day!
Archbishop Edwin O'Brien is baffled by the idea. "...Nothing in a pregnancy support center's yellow page advertisements or Web pages would lead a woman to believe these centers provide abortions or abortion-related services." Knowing that they could never pass such a bill statewide, NARAL Pro-Choice America is calling the bill a model for other cities and encouraging bigger metropolitan areas like Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Madison, Wisconsin to follow suit.
Obviously, the pro-abortion crowd feels threatened by its pro-life competition. With publications like FRC's
A Passion for Life, A Vision to Serve highlighting the success of PRCs, women are beginning to understand that they have more options than abortion. Besides, if cities want to start posting clinic records on the doors, how about forcing Planned Parenthood clinics to publicize their services--like using $300 million taxpayer dollars a year to
cover up statutory rape,
commit fraud, and
violate basic safety standards?
