NEW YORK, January 7, 2002 (LSN.ca) – New York State Attorney General, Elliot Spitzer, a zealously pro-abortion Democrat, launched a major legal offensive against NYC area pro-life crisis pregnancy centers on Friday, January 4, 2000. Officers of the NY Attorney General served subpoenas, which were identical, to at least two crisis pregnancy centers on Staten Island and Manhattan and it seems evident that most if not all crisis pregnancy centers will be targeted in New York City and Long Island by the end of next week.
According to the subpoena, “Based upon his initial investigation, the Attorney General has a good faith belief that the entities named …may have violated one or more … statutes by misrepresenting the services they provide, diagnosing pregnancy and advising persons on medical options without being licensed to do so, and/or providing deceptive and inaccurate medical information.” Chris Slattery, founder of Expectant Mother Care, with five NYC pregnancy center locations, and Chris Ferrara of the American Catholic Lawyers Association have begun assembling a team of attorneys to respond to the false allegations.
Slattery’s clinics have raised the ire of abortionists and their supporters especially for their success in depriving abortionists of business. Slattery’s clinics are well known for their use of 3-D ultrasound machines which show expectant mothers their unborn children, in real-life images. While conventional two-dimensional sonograms can be effective, with the three-dimensional technology the mother is able to easily recognize the humanity of her child otherwise hidden in her womb.
