Washington, DC- Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, issued the following statement in response to the signing of The Women's Right to Know Act by Georgia governor Sonny Perdue.

"The passage of The Women's Right to Know Act by the government serves the needs of women and enhances their dignity. It is surprising that so many who claim to support the right to choose oppose the right of women to know what they are choosing.

"Moreover, women do not have abortions because of freedom of choice, but because they feel they have no freedom and no choice. More information will increase their freedom to choose rightly."
