NY City Council Sets Abortion Fight

Council Sets Abortion Fight - WSJ.com: The New York City Council plans to unveil legislation Tuesday that would establish strict disclosure requirements for crisis-pregnancy centers, some of which, abortion-rights advocates charge, deceive women into believing they're full-serve reproductive health facilities by masking their antiabortion agenda. The legislation, backed by Speaker Christine Quinn, would require the centers to disclose to clients that they do not provide abortion services or contraceptive devices, or make referrals to organizations that do. Centers that don't have licensed medical providers onsite would also have to disclose that information. Under the bill, the centers would be required to hang disclosure signs in their offices and post statements on websites and in advertisements.
