They dedicate their time to teaching kids how to lead healthy lives and helping pregnant women and their newborns. One would think that Crisis Pregnancy Centers would receive supportive thanks from Democrats and Republicans alike. Not so. Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) has launched a full scale attack in the guise of a “report” suggesting CPCs deny “teenagers and women vital health information” and prevent “them from making an informed decision…”.
What I find entirely ridiculous is that the substance of the debate presented by the Washington Post is whether or not abortion increases the risk of breast cancer, as suggested by some CPCs. Although the Post quotes the National Cancer Institute as disagreeing that the interruption of a pregnancy (by killing the unborn) increases the probability of later developing cancer (check this out), the paper decided examining the numerous studies and medical organizations whose research indicates otherwise.
CareNet's website responds:
At best, current findings are inconclusive, but Waxman's report claims to be based on settled science; however current statistics as well as numerous studies and publications on the aftermath of abortion suggest that this debate is far from settled
What’s worse, however, is that while the Post is willing to blindside CareNet with the biased comments and studies of abortion advocates, the FRC reveals the paper’s utter failure to do the same for abortion clinics:
Just about every year a pro-life group calls up NARAL and Planned Parenthood clinics and discover how these "clinics" voluntarily offer to cover up incidents of statutory rape and incest. I searched the Washington Post archives and could find no reference to these "studies."We've published more information here.
