Babies Go To Congress to Defend Crisis Pregnancy Centers
Pregnancy care centers offer women something other than a dead baby
Pregnancy care centers across this country are a real, living threat to Planned Parenthood clinics because they offer women something other than a dead baby. They offer women actual help - material, emotional, practical, medical and even financial help when they need it most. They offer life and hope, and naturally, Planned Parenthood hates that because it means fewer clients, fewer abortions, less money for them.
Crisis pregnancy centers are saving babies' lives every day. Tell Congress to leave them alone.
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - Congress will have some little visitors this week. Women who rejected abortion thanks to the assistance of crisis pregnancy care centers are taking their babies to Washington, D.C. to let Congress know how thankful they are for the work of these life-saving centers. They and their babies are living proof of the incredible good these crisis pregnancy centers are doing across the nation.
Babies Go to Congress is a project of Heartbeat International, which has a network of more than 1,100 different centers caring for pregnant women in over 50 countries. Their volunteers number more then 25,000, including doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers and social workers.
These moms and babies are making themselves heard because CPC's are being dishonestly targeted by Congress. Here's how:
On the one hand you have Planned Parenthood. They receive millions and millions of dollars of our money to fund their abortion mills nationwide. They will eagerly "help" any mother kill her baby for a steep fee. They will "help" a pregnant, underage girl while protecting the identity of her adult abuser, and then sell her contraception so she can go right on being abused with less chance of becoming pregnant again. They make lots and lots of money killing babies, even though they get obscene sums of money from you and me through federal and state funds.
On the other hand, you have pregnancy resource centers. Crisis pregnancy centers, maternity homes, non-profit adoption agencies, abortion recovery centers, and pregnancy help medical clinics that offer pregnant women whatever help they may need - all without charge. These centers do not receive millions and millions of dollars in federal and state funding. They operate under the power of donations and volunteers. There's only one thing they will not do - they will not kill the baby.
So who does our Congress decide to go after with unnecessary and punitive legislation?

They offer women actual help - material, emotional, practical, medical and even financial help when they need it most. They offer life and hope, and naturally, Planned Parenthood hates that because it means fewer clients, fewer abortions, less money for them.
So the pro-aborts have persuaded some politicians to sponsor a bill called the "Stop Deceptive Advertising in Women's Services Act" (HR 2478). The bill would demand the Federal Trade Commission develop advertising rules for pregnancy care centers.It is now HR 5652.
NARAL, Planned Parenthood and the pro-aboriont community find it outrageous that a pregnancy care center would advertise that they can help a pregnant woman when they will not provide her an abortion. NARAL Virginia called it 'deceptive" that CPC's use roadside billboards that say, "Pregnant? Need Help? Call 1-800-395-HELP" because the women answering the phone will not recommend abortion. To the pro-abort mind, the only way to help a pregnant woman is to sell her an abortion.
NARAL has even gone so far as to write to SuperPages.com and Yellowpages.com and ask them to remove all advertisements for pregnancy care centers. (But the abortion mills want to be able to advertise under the guise of "Abortion Alternatives.")
The pro-aborts are furious because pregnancy care centers are opening up in close proximity to their abortion mills, often right across the street. Crisis pregnancy centers do not pretend to be hospitals. They are clear about what they offer to pregnant women, which is compassion, assistance with their pregnancy and an alternative to abortion.
HR 2478 is more about punishing CPC's at the behest of the abortion industry than about truth in advertising. After all, if truth were so important, there should be Congressional outrage over the lies Planned Parenthood tells to women about the development of their baby, giving blatantly inaccurate medical information in order to persuade the woman to abort. Not to mention Planned Parenthood's penchant for covering up the rape of minor girls and helping their adult abusers escape charges.
No, once again, the abortion lobby is waving their bloody wallets in Congress's face and the result is this ludicrous legislation aimed at CPC's who simply want to save babies' lives and offer women some real help.

It would appear that this bill, as introduced in the 111th Congress, is now called "H.R. 5652: Stop Deceptive Advertising for Women's Services Act." (HR 2478 was accurate for previous sessions of Congress - see http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-5652 for current information) Thanks for this informative article.
This is not surprising. What else would you expect from people like Pelosi, Obama, Reid, Kerry, etc, etc.? The REALLY, REALLY sad part is that "Catholics" helped put this government in office.
Thanks, Mike. You are correct. The bill is now H.R. 5652.
Dear Mrs. Hartline, Thank you for your excellent article. You may be interested in learning about the following order of women religious who work in the service of Life: http://sistersoflife.org/ Clinton
My teen daughter said that this is the article that all teens are talking about and they like it thank you .
Thank God. As He said 'Where evil flourishes so shall My Grace become all the more abundant" Bless you all who are saving lives while Obama and his gang of murderers are spreading baby genocide to this part of Africa - Kenya - as they fund the passage of the Draft Constitution which introduces abortion on demand for, same sex marriage and introduction of sex and contraceptives to our 10 year-old children, opening of Abortion Clinics by International Planned Parenthood and Marie Stopes all over the country. They have even gone further and made infidelity in marriage a Human Right of the spouse. That way, Obama will destroy this Nation. Destroy the Family Unit, introduce our children to sex and abortion on demand, open the door for euthanasia and Kenya will be no more. Good people of God, pray for us that this Constitution is rejected on 4th of August Referendum
Thank you Jennifer for another powerful article about the Murderous intent of Planned "Parenthood" and the thugs that promote it and shove it down our throats. My senators from Florida will be getting my message about HR 5652. I'm hoping, when I begin lectoring at my parish this September, I can eventually begin delivering presentations about the evil of abortion and what the parish needs to do to counter this atrocious attack on life. May the Fortitude of the Holy Spirit guide us in this Spiritual Warfare against the killers of the unborn.
Well done. Keep up the good work.
