Columns: Our tax dollars at work funding antiabortion bunk
Blummer has guts. This piece in the St. Pete Times will get the death threats rolling in from “Christians”.
The CPCs’ true purpose is not to serve women in trouble but to proselytize and block women from receiving valid information about their health and options.
Many CPCs like to claim that they will provide prenatal care to women who plan to have their children, but a telling report by the Christian conservative group, the Family Research Council, worried aloud about the diversion of too many resources to future moms. The report said that “there are sharply rising numbers of women coming to the centers who are not ‘at risk’ for abortion. These women have decided to carry their children to term and come in for material assistance or other services.”
“These trends,” the report notes, “could threaten the primary mission of the centers - to reach women at risk for abortion.”
It would be comforting to think that this is just the work of a narrow group of extremists and leave it at that. But when our tax dollars are supporting this dangerous lunacy and when the president vetoes a bill that supports promising, life-saving medical research in order to protect the “life” of a cluster of cells, the delusional have truly taken over. Medical fraud is official policy when abortion politics are at play.
