LifeNews - Pregnancy Center Leader Delighted by Ruling Against NYC Law

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com

Chris Slattery has spent decades trying to bring abortion alternatives to women in the famous city that has become the abortion capital of the United States with the highest abortion rates. He’s delighted by yesterday’s ruling striking down a law targeting the centers.

As LifeNews.com reported, a federal judge approved a request filed by two pro-life legal groups for the New York pregnancy centers for a temporary injunction against a law that would fine centers if they don’t post signs abortion advocates want them to put up to dissuade women from seeking alternatives.

Slattery, the founder and Director of EMC Frontline, told LifeNews he is “thrilled by Judge William Pauley’s decision.” . . .

“We are grateful to the ACLJ, our friends and supporters, and God for allowing us to continue our life-saving work,” Slattery said. “This ruling should nip in the bud the nationwide NARAL and Planned Parenthood effort to cripple pro-life pregnancy care centers. EMC will continue to fight to permanently enjoin the NYC Local Law #17.” . . .
