The Abortion Industry’s War on Choice

In this piece from The Washington Times, Mailee Smith of Americans United for Life describes how the abortion industry is undermining the rights of women by attacking pregnancy resource centers:

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.
