Priests Speak in Support of Pregnancy Care Centers

Priests for Life criticizes the claims made by "Self" magazine against pregnancy care centers that do not perform or refer for abortions. "Self" claims that these centers are anti-woman.

"The claims made by Self Magazine show that the pro-abortion movement does not provide for the needs of women," said Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "So many women resort to abortion precisely because they feel they do not have the resources and support necessary for them to continue their pregnancy. Pregnancy care centers provide honest support and encouragement for these women."
