Pro-life pregnancy resource centers
won an enormous victory at the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) the other week. The pro-abortion left — especially NARAL —
convinced California lawmakers that forcing these centers to refer for
state-funded abortions was sound public policy.
Well, SCOTUS disagreed: “The licensed
notice is a content-based regulation. By
compelling petitioners to speak a particular message, it ‘alters the content of
[their] speech,’ Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the Court’s decision. “For example, one of the state sponsored
services that the licensed notice requires petitioners to advertise is
abortion—the very practice that petitioners are devoted to opposing.”
So, what is a pro-life pregnancy resource
center? They are generally small
non-profits with little money … but lots of love and volunteers. Most of them don’t take government money,
unlike Planned Parenthood (PP). And
unlike abortion profiteers, pro-life centers have nothing to do with abortion
or contraception. They provide
tremendous help to women in crisis pregnancies — such as counseling,
ultrasounds, diapers, clothes, educational support, maternity care and housing,
and even adoption assistance.
None of this was good for Big Abortion.
They don’t want competition to their
deadly business. Regretfully, many
corporations are backing what has been a years-long national campaign to shut
down pro-life centers.
Two prominent examples are General
Electric and Bank of America. Research shows,
these companies back not only PP — America’s biggest abortion company — but
also NARAL, which wrote California’s law targeting pro-life centers. And they stand behind the work of the Center
for Reproductive Rights (CRR) – a legal group which pushes abortion throughout
the world. CRR was not pleased with SCOTUS
ruling.
Listen: Let these corporations know
that it is unacceptable for their money to support an organization which is so
dedicated to killing the unborn that it refuses to allow women the choice of
pro-life.
