Wrong.
The National Catholic Register recently interviewed a young Hispanic woman who is attending a Catholic college and asked her about how she was thinking of voting.
“I like to be holistic in my approach to life issues….Crisis pregnancy centers and giving women the emotional support and resources needed to make the decisions are more important to me than the legal bickering, and Democrats tend to provide more funding for these types of social programs.”
Is that true?
No. Sen. Obama does not support funding for crisis pregnancy centers:
Does Sen. Obama support continuing federal funding for crisis pregnancy centers? Why or why not?
No.
For whatever, reason, Sen. Obama and his staff don’t answer the second part of the question: Why don’t they support crisis-pregnancy centers?
In truth, Planned Parenthood and other abortion mills don’t provide emotional support for women who procure abortions. That difficult job is instead done by faithful, caring people, like those at Project Rachel and at Rachel’s Vineyard retreats. Why? Because Planned Parenthood can never admit that abortion hurts women and that it is something for which they need healing from.
If Sen. Obama truly supports women and their well-being, as well as choice, why doesn’t he support the choices and support offered, almost always by unpaid volunteers, by crisis pregnancy centers around the country?
