Maryland's Montgomery County Enacts New Sign Rule

Montgomery County officials in Maryland gave final approval to a new county ordinance that targets pregnancy centers located in this suburb of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Centers would be required to tell potential clients they should go elsewhere for medical advice. Pregnancy centers must post a disclaimer if they don't have medical professionals on staff and would refer them to a center with licensed medical professionals.

John Naughton, a local pro-life advocate, said the resolution would "dramatically impair the operations of the four county pregnancy centers which have offered free services to approximately 195,000 women for a combined total of 108 years without complaint." LifeNews
