Abortion Activists Turn to Legislation to Target Pregnancy Care Centers
INTERVIEW: Pro-abortion forces have moved from physically attacking pro-life pregnancy care centers to weaponizing legislation against them, according to the Rev. Jim Harden.\xa0\n\nIn recent months, \u201cwe started to see an ebb in the violent attacks against pro-life entities and a rise in potential weaponization of legislation specifically targeting pro-life activity in the public square, and specifically even more so pregnancy center activity,\u201d says Harden, CEO of the pro-life New York-based organization CompassCare.\n\nIn Illinois for example, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill "specifically giving the attorney general in Illinois the \u2026 unfettered ability to define what 'deceptive practices' means and what 'misinformation' means when it comes to the activities and speech of pro-life pregnancy centers,\u201d Harden says. Violating the law \u201ccomes with $50,000 fines for each occurrence [of spreading misinformation] as they define it,\u201d Harden said.\xa0\n\nHarden joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to explain the ways in which pro-abortion activists are using legislation to target pro-life centers, and to offer advice to these pro-life organizations as to what they can do to protect themselves so they can continue serving the women and babies who need them.\xa0\n\nEnjoy the show!\n Hosted on Acast.
