New York City is considering drag, Baltimore in regulating what anti choice crisis pregnancy centers in your ads and Windows characters can say. A recent hearing were those against a chance your negative reaction to make that clear.
NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)-I was to witness the last.
It was 6: 40 pm and for more than five hours for women issues Committee of New York City testimony about a proposed local laws-listened to had, similar to the pass in Baltimore last year-regulation crisis pregnancy centres.
Crisis pregnancy Zentren-- or CPC bids are as everyone rief-websites - by Christian organizations in the United States and around the world.
Depending on your point of view the centres either bully and trick young people and women in maintaining unwanted pregnancies or provide vulnerable and frightened young people and women kindness, support and loving care.
The two starkly different versions that can be called at the hearing about the sites "pregnancy resource centres" were shown "pregnancy decision health centres," "pregnancy care centers," "women's choice network" and sometimes "centered pregnancy."
If passed, would require the city law centres prominently---in their facilities on your websites and---disclaimers that say offer no abortions, offer contraception or licensed medical personnel. Also centres should keep confidential collect information about your customers.
Proponents say that is necessary for several reasons.
City officials have said that the centres can cause a delay in prenatal care if pregnant women, clinical attention to the centres that looking for that go.
Pro choice advocates want the centers to more clearly identified so that you not women going seeking their services. In at least one case had shop in the same building and on the same floor as a planned parenthood clinic set up a Center.
At the hearing, said a social worker for planned parenthood prospective patients were often confused and went to the wrong site-just to abortion propaganda be indoctrinated.
A witness who supported the Bill searched told the story of a hospital patient mistakenly helping one of these centres. The client said you are not sure whether she was going through with the pregnancy. Soon after questions received SMS messages whatever wanted to name your baby. Someone from the clinic of women at work proved most to intimidate in not looking after an abortion, said the witness.
The hearing was unofficially divided into two sections. First came officials and experts to speak by the Committee invited. Then came a long line of human-stretching from the door and determining the block-have signed up to speak.
The big question at stake is legally that violated the right to freedom of expression. A lawyer from the American Civil Liberties Union insures the Council that the Bill amendment test under the ability of Government to the truth in advertising require the first pass.
Round two-in - began the ich-- assigned at about 2: 30. I sat, heard and saw for what turned out to four hours.
Some of them determined, belongs to contain a chaplain at a local Catholic high school, men who operated the centres and their female employees, voluntary and supporters.
Senior staff care NET, based in Lansdowne, Virginia, were there to represent the largest network with 2,300 affiliated centres and an annual budget of $ 7 million. They emphasised the transparency of financial flows, the care to offer you to needy women and ways to keep your customer records where you confidential.
Most of the other speakers made non-legal, moral arguments. A lawyer Governments put "Speech" but from the constitutional challenges that say the law, as for example can force.
