LOS ANGELES, February 27, 2002 (LSN.ca) – Seeing the success of a pro-abortion initiative to legally harass pro-life crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in the state of New York, the California Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (CARAL) is holding training seminars to do the same in California. Allyson Smith, a San Diego investigative reporter, exposed a CARAL training session in West Los Angeles.
An action kit from the training session suggests pro-abortion activists spy on CPCs. Among its suggestions: “When making an appointment … remember to call from a blocked number,” and “Be ready to tell them when your period is due and the first day of your last period. Be prepared with a story.”
A tip sheet gives examples of lies that can be used to solicit information from pro-life counselors. “I think I need an abortion, but I don’t know much about them.”“What about birth control? I don’t want to worry like this again.”“My parents will be so mad/kick me out/disown me/cut me off financially, etc. ” The tip sheet further advises CARAL operatives: “Don’t bring ID into the CPC when visiting,”“Have a fictitious personal profile memorized,” and “Arrange to meet with a CARAL staff person after your visit for a debriefing.”
