Attacks on Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers Now On Federal Level

As we were engaged last December in the struggle to protect pro-life pregnancy centers in Montgomery County Maryland, we learned that the County Council attack was simply part of a larger plot by NARAL to cripple and strangle the pregnancy centers.  Most of the Montgomery County Council is in the back pockets of NARAL and NOW (one, Duchy Trachtenberg, has been or is, NOW Maryland president).

This sort of thing was also successfully tried in Baltimore, and has been attempted in other localities throughout the United States.  It's right out of NARAL's booklet called "Unmasking Fake Clinics - A Step by Step Guide".  And yes, I have a copy!

Now we hear that they are trying this sort of stunt on the Federal level.  Read the Lifesite News article.  These pro-aborts most likely think that with the current leadership in Congress and with the Messiah Most Miserable occupying the White House, they have a window of opportunity and want to seize it.  Perhaps they understandably fear that such window might close after the November 2010 elections.  At any rate, this must be stopped.

The House bill number is H.R. 2478, entitled "Stop Deceptive Advertising in Women's Services Act" (These people are utterly lacking in originality - but that's the least of their problems).  Its two lead sponsors are U.S. Rep. Maloney (D-NY) and Sen. Menendez (D-NJ).  Menendez is "catholyc", by the way.

When this action was being fought in Montgomery County, I reported on that quite extensively during last December and January.  In particular, I posted excerpts from the public Council hearings on this blog,  I urge you to review these posts to get some idea of the nature of this issue.
