An article I wrote on the National Catholic Register regarding Tuesdays hearing:
This proposed New York City law could be a model for national legislation. But will NARAL get its way?

Along with several others, I testified the other day at a hearing of the New York City Council in consideration of a bill that would regulate crisis-pregnancy centers.
Such centers, staffed by volunteers and people of good will, try to give women options other than abortion when facing unexpected pregnancies.
In a political payback of grand proportions and under the usual guise of care for women, the council is seeking to pass legislation based on a report done by NARAL Pro-Choice New York titled “The Lies, Manipulations, and Privacy Violations of Crisis Pregnancy Centers in New York City.” Key to the report is the claim that CPCs pose as medical facilities and mislead pregnant women since they do not provide abortions or contraception. CPCs who advertise themselves under “Abortion Alternatives” must now advertise what they do not offer. Are other nonprofits forced to operate this way?
