Virginia Pro-Abortion Group Attacks Pregnancy Centers

The Virginia affiliate of NARAL held a press conference Wednesday to announce new legislation designed to intimidate women who go to pregnancy centers for help and options counseling. The bills (SB 188 and HB 452) seek to remove the funding stream available to pregnancy centers via the purchase of Choose Life license plates and to require a new state regulation of all pregnancy centers. That could include requiring the placement of signs outside PCCs stating, “that it does not perform or refer women for abortions.” It would also require state officials to collect a sample of all materials distributed at the center for analysis and potential criticism and a member of the centers' board to sign a document certifying that it "provides only factually and medically accurate information about pregnancy, contraception, and abortion to a person seeking counseling, information, or assistance from the center.” LifeSiteNews
