NYC Council to Target Pregnancy Centers

Council to Target Pregnancy Centers - WSJ.com: The New York City Council plans to pass legislation next week requiring centers that cater to pregnant women to say whether they offer abortions even though a similar law was recently found to be unconstitutional.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and the bill's primary sponsor, Council Member Jessica Lappin, said they are confident the New York bill will pass legal muster because it's significantly different than the law that was struck down.

But abortion opponents insist the city's bill still infringes on free speech rights. They warn it will draw New York into a costly court battle it can little afford while grappling with multimillion-dollar budget deficits.

MEANWHILE: NYC proves its anti-free speech bent by yanking a pro-life billboard in Soho. How much bigger could a sign be? And still they don't like it.
