Centers that violate the act would large penalties and fines that don't apply to abortion centers. Paula Cullen, the former director of Life Services of Spokane, plans to testify at Wednesday's hearing. She told will point out that the bill could eliminate approximately $15 million worth of free services for women facing unplanned pregnancies. LifeNews
