A pro-life group in North Carolina is
expecting a hard battle as it seeks to continue its work outside a local
abortion clinic.
In the November 7th mayoral election,
voters in Charlotte, NC replaced Jennifer Roberts with another liberal mayor –
Vi Lyles. Lyles may be just as committed
to abortion as the former mayor was. [Roberts
never approved of pro-life volunteers at abortion clinics.]
As part of its local efforts,
Cities4Life in Charlotte parks a mobile ultrasound unit in front of an abortion
clinic to offer pregnant women free services. But ministry leaders fully expect Mayor-elect
Lyles to press the city council to restrict their access. Daniel Parks, who heads Cities4Life, said the
unit is parked on a wide city street, and it creates no traffic problems; yet,
he is prepared to fight a legal battle related to parking of the ultrasound
unit, as well as their freedom of speech.
Parks says, “The liberal agenda [is]
not really concerned about the women, and [it] most certainly [is] not
concerned about the babies. But the
liberal agenda is concerned about itself. And the radical pro-abortion agenda in
Charlotte doesn’t want to lose any of those potential clients that we’re actually
taking from them, by God’s grace.”
According to Parks, their measure of
success is approximately 3,700 babies saved in Charlotte. At an estimated $300-$1,700 for each
first-trimester abortion, that success has been costly for local abortion clinics.
How sad that
money talks at the price of silencing the unborn.
