Rebutting the Pro-Abortion
Attacks Against CPCs
Part Two of Three By Dave Andrusko
I asked Heartbeat International for their response to the production co-directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. They kindly directly me to their website at www.heartbeatinternational.org where they critique "12th & Delaware." Let me summarize a few of their points. They offer multiple examples from YouTube (and www.huffingtonpost.com) where the women discuss their motivation. They are anything but objective makers of documentaries. They have an agenda--exposing allegedly "misleading" and "deceptive" CPCs. My favorite response is the first one, answering the Abortion Industry Claim that "Crisis Pregnancy Centers Use Misleading Advertising." The truth?" Pregnancy centers advertise directly to those facing an unplanned or unintended pregnancy with statements like, 'Pregnant?' 'Scared?' or 'Think you're pregnant? We can help.' This is only 'misleading' to those who sell abortion and are concerned about losing market-share and profit margins. Pregnancy centers services are free of charge and encourage women to make a truly informed decision." The website also addresses assertions that women are purposely given misleading information at some CPCs. In truth, they source their information carefully. And if by "some," pro-abortion means some CPC somewhere, well, that's one of those vague assertions that is impossible to rebut. In truth, what stands out is how hard the leadership of the women-helping movement has worked to ensure that everything these wonderful ministries do and say is beyond reproach. At heartbeatinternational.org you can read where they gently point out how at the same time pro-abortionists work with their allies in Congress to try to shut down CPOCS, they work like the dickens to make sure abortion clinics are not required to meet "the same professional, regulatory scrutiny as the nearby surgical unit or gynecologist's office." There is an adage that is as true as it is old: follow the money. The Abortion Industry is loaded. It is not about to allow anyone or anybody to cut into its profits without a real fight.

Let
me begin by thanking all who've responded to my two columns on
"12th & Delaware," a pro-abortion HBO production masquerading as
a non-judgmental documentary about crisis pregnancy centers. I
would be on the side of the CPCs, even if they weren't almost
entirely volunteer, hand-to-mouth organizations. But I am even
more determined to do my small part when the opposition that is
gearing up to crush them has access to hundreds of hundreds of
millions of dollars.
