The following comes from a July 28 Pregnancy Help News article by Jay Hobbs:
Safe to say, it’s been a strange month of July for two of the most crime-ridden places in the state of California.
While one city, Oakland—home of the highest crime rate in the state—was busy establishing a new law to crack down on nonprofit pregnancy help centers, another city known for crime—Los Angeles—cited three community funded nonprofits for failing to comply with a law that is currently under review with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Pressed with the third-highest violent crime rate in the entire country, Oakland’s City Council passed an ordinance July 16 threatening the only pro-life pregnancy help organization in the city with a first-time offense of up to $500 in fines if the organization, “Support Circle,” is found to be in violation of false advertising laws.
The ordinance applies only to life-affirming pregnancy centers, subjecting the centers—which receive no government dollars—to the judgment of City Council, which has been cheered on so far by NARAL Pro-Choice California director Amy Everitt.
“Lawmakers in California are using their political muscle to benefit Big Abortion,” Jor-El Godsey, president of Heartbeat International, which has over 70 affiliate locations in the state, said. “Pregnancy centers exist because every woman deserves to have all the information she needs to protect herself and her child during an unexpected pregnancy. More than anything else, a law that only applies to one organization is a clear signal of just how beholden to the abortion industry some of these lawmakers truly are.”
Meanwhile, Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer, who warned pregnancy centers back in late May that he was unwilling to await the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling before he’d try to enforce the policy, made good on his threat with three letters dated July 15.
Citing a violation of the 2015 state law known as the “California Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care, and Transparency (FACT) Act,” Feuer sent notices to Harbor Pregnancy Help Center, Los Angeles Pregnancy Services, and Pregnancy Counseling Center.
I believe California is being told via grass fires to mend your ways and return to the Lord.
Funny, I thought California was having grass fires because it’s summer and there are fires every summer in dry California. It’s part of the cycle of life.
California will not mend its ways. Time for observant Christians to leave if they want to have a chance of living in peace.
Sadly, it is black people who are the target of the abortion centers. Leaders surely know that is true. Why average citizens don’t is beyond comprehension.

I have dealt with Planned Parenthood, the most corrupt, bully in the history of the United States, since it’s beginnings. If the public only realized how many back door deals are made through the ACLU and the courts to get their power to proceed, they would be mortified. Crisis Pregnancy Centers are concerned about the total health of the baby and the mother, and offer unlimited services. We should be supporting them in areas where minorites live, and near high schools where Planned Parenthood has authority to abort the babies of children 12 years and older without any parental consent. At these young ages, the aborted baby could be the only baby the child will ever be able to carry. Hispanic and Black mothers who love their daughters…
The politicians with a (D) after their names are the ones pushing this. People who claim to be Catholic continue to vote for these politicians!!
Want to stop the bullies @ PP? Vote them out! How did they get so much power anyway, especially recently, from the current administration? It will continue under HC. Pro-life & other critical issues see @ http://www.Catholics4Trump.com/
It is about LIFE & so much more, unless you like the UN global Elites running our country. This is just one of many articles of what is at stake. Let’s NOT become Europe! From a Swede top priest: @ https://www.infowars.com/top-swedish-priest-islamists-have-declared-war-on-christianity/ Put America first. There is no sin in that. We are allowed a life, liberty & country by God. Pray.
