This past Tuesday was the 40th anniversary of Roe. v. Wade. The New York Times had a story on the latest piece of the battle for women's choice. The number of Crisis Pregnancy Centers is increasing. These are places that claim to present a "compassionate approach to the issue." But nearly all don't have actual medical staff and don't disclose they aren't medical facilities. They cannot offer effective pre-natal care. They refuse to acknowledge one possibility is abortion and are sometimes dishonest in pushing a woman to carry the pregnancy to term. These facilities do not fall under any regulations. A commenter tells the story of a woman who wasn't pregnant going to one of these places. The nurse did an ultrasound and soon returned with an image of a fetus, asking the patient to give it a name.
There are also reports of the number of restrictions on abortion so that soon the right to choose is in name only.
