What would a federal health care program mean for the pregnancy help movement?

You probably have heard or read from prolife organizations that specialize in legislation why they believe the health care bills in Congress will lead to more abortions at taxpayer expense. But did you know that if the current health care proposals are adopted without any conscience protections, it could mean the end of pregnancy help centers? How so?

Pregnancy help center services include providing vital information about abortion aftereffects. These health risks, well documented, are denied or downplayed by those who advocate abortion as central to women’s health care. They dispute the existence of post-abortion stress syndrome, abortion’s link to breast cancer, and other health consequences. Under federal health care, pregnancy help centers may be forced to stop providing information on abortion risks. Those who now equate women’s health with abortion have already attempted this at the state level. With the power of the federal government at their disposal, this type of pro-abortion federal intrusion would threaten your ability to freely and generously help women and couples find the life-affirming help they need though the pregnancy help centers. Pregnancy help center volunteers may even be forced to refer for abortion and/or distribute contraceptives.
