Pro-life lawmakers are fighting to protect pregnancy care centers from government attacks. A new bill called the Let Pregnancy Centers Serve Act aims to stop states from punishing these centers for refusing to promote abortion. The bill would block federal money from being taken away from centers that help moms choose life.
Pregnancy centers give free help to women facing unplanned pregnancies. They offer baby supplies, medical care, and counseling. In 2022 alone, these centers gave out over $300 million in diapers, clothes, and cribs. They helped save over 800,000 babies from abortion in five years.
Abortion supporters have attacked pregnancy centers with violence and lawsuits. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, over 100 centers were vandalized or burned. Police rarely arrest anyone for these crimes. New York’s attorney general sued centers for telling women about abortion pill reversal—a treatment that can save babies after abortion drugs are taken.
The new law would make sure pregnancy centers can’t lose funding for refusing to do abortions. It stops states from blocking grants like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Centers could also sue governments that try to shut them down.
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney said, “Liberal states want to protect the abortion industry instead of women.” She accused New York leaders of spreading lies about pregnancy centers. Pro-life groups argue these centers empower women with real choices instead of pushing abortion.
Democrats and pro-abortion groups want to cut funding for pregnancy centers. They call them “fake clinics” and pass laws to limit their work. But polls show 80% of pro-choice Americans support these centers.
Pro-life leaders say pregnancy centers are lifelines for poor families. They provide free ultrasounds, parenting classes, and job training. Without them, many women would feel forced into abortion. The bill’s supporters say protecting these centers is key to building a culture of life.
This law shows the pro-life movement’s commitment to helping both moms and babies. By standing up to government bullying, pregnancy centers can keep offering love and support to families in need. Conservatives believe every life matters—and this bill helps defend that truth.
