HHS Decision to Overturn Protections for Pro-Life Docs Could Hurt Pregnancy Centers

HHS Decision to Overturn Protections for Pro-Life Docs Could Hurt Pregnancy Centers, Care Net Says - Christian Newswire: Melinda Delahoyde said that her network of 1,130 pregnancy center affiliates could feel the damaging blow of the Administration's action. 'Pregnancy centers empower women facing unplanned pregnancy to choose abortion alternatives,' Delahoyde said. 'To accomplish this, we offer critical, free medical services, such as limited obstetrical ultrasounds and STD testing. Because of our commitment to providing alternatives to abortion, we rely on the availability of pro-life medical professionals -- nurses, physicians, sonographers and others. If the rights of these individuals are violated, then they will simply leave the field of practice or not enter it altogether. With more than 580 pregnancy centers in the Care Net network that offer medical services, we're simply not willing to take that risk.'
