The abortion industry’s war on choice When women preserve their babies, abortionists don’t get paid

There is a new war on choice in this country, and the leaders are none other than the captains of the abortion industry. Their target: pregnancy care centers (PCCs). Their technique: Brand the centers with a "scarlet letter" and force them to advertise abortion. Their goal: disparage the centers and drive women to abortion clinics.

It's no wonder. Pregnancy care centers - and the compassionate and nonjudgmental services they offer - undercut the abortion industry's bottom line. If women hear the truth about abortion and understand that they truly have a life-affirming choice, the abortion industry's profits will decrease.

Take Megan, for example. When she found out she was pregnant, she felt scared and confused and believed everything she had been told: "Having a baby will ruin your life." She made an appointment for a medical abortion, thinking that would ease her worries. But as the date approached, her anxiety only worsened - that is, until she visited a pregnancy center in Pittsburgh.

"The visit to the pregnancy care center changed my life," Megan said. The care and information she received at the center was "about empowerment, guidance and support." For the first time, she felt she had choices and could make a genuine, confident decision. "When I left [the center], I realized that the pit in my stomach was gone." She gave birth to a baby girl she named Ava. Her story is shared in a 2009 pregnancy service report published by Family Research Council titled "A Passion to Serve, a Vision for Life."

Then there is Sarah. She describes herself as "like any normal college freshman, just enjoying being young and carefree" - until she was raped one night at a party and found out a few weeks later that she was pregnant. Fortunately,

Great article. Pregnancy care centers are the way to go!

Planned Parenthood is a ravenous organization that has spent its term feeding off the blood and life of the desperate mothers that enter their doors. Don't do it ladies. Don't be sucked into their deadly agenda, for while you can receive forgiveness for your actions later on down the road, it's impossible to forget the fact you allowed you own baby to die.

Please Consider Life

In Baltimore, a recently enacted ordinance requires that pregnancy centers post signs alerting clients that the centers do not provide or refer for abortion. A federal district court in Maryland already has found the forced abortion messages to be unconstitutional violations of the free-speech rights of the centers.
