  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

‘A crisis brings a woman to an abortion facility. When she walks out, the baby is gone, but the crisis that brings her there is not. Pro-life pregnancy centers help a woman deal with the crisis.’

In the wake of the leak of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in 2022, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, took to the Senate floor to announce the Stop Anti-Abortion Disinformation Act at the federal level.

“In this extraordinary moment, we must do everything we can to ensure that patients get the health care and reproductive services that they need — and that includes protecting patients from the deceptive practices of some so-called ‘crisis pregnancy centers,’ or CPCs,” Warren declared. Although the bill never passed, similar legislation exists in California, Illinois and elsewhere.

That same year, more than 100 pro-life pregnancy centers were attacked.

Within hours of the release of the Dobbsdecision on June 24, 2022, a pro-life pregnancy-resource center (PRC) in Salt Lake City was vandalized. A sign was taped to the front of the door that read: “If abortions aren’t safe neither are you,” adding, “Women are fragile, not like a flower, but more like a bomb.”

Fast-forward to 2025: Filmmaker Cindy Morales has produced a new documentary — Fake Clinics? — that will air on EWTN this Friday. She said these targeted attacks are not new, but she chronicles the recent rise in such incidents, including legislation targeting the vital work the pro-life centers do in communities across the country.

“The attack on PRCs for being ‘fake clinics’ is not new; but after the Dobbs decision, they really ramped up,” Morales told the Register.
