What issue, largely ignored in the presidential contest, would you like to surface—to be given the kind of in-depth consideration it deserves?
For me, it would be the war on Pregnancy Resource Centers, those saintly sources that help women and their unborn babies in their most dire hour with physically, emotional, and spiritual help.
There are more than 2,750 PRC, a number that grows and grows. The pro-aborts hate them because—watch me now—they offer a choice.
Imagine that. “Pro-choicers” who loathe the counteroffer of live over death.
Mary Szoch and Arielle Del Turco wrote a great piece over the weekend for the Washington Stand under the headline “Who doesn’t like Pregnancy Resource Center? Kamala Harris.”
First, they described just some of what PRCs do for women and girls:
Their work saves lives and drives out fear.

How? PRCs provide unwavering support for moms and dads in need. Everyone who walks through their door is met with an open heart, a listening ear, and a plethora of resources — clothing, diapers, wipes, formula; education about pregnancy, parenting, and life skills; and medical services like pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and STD testing. Many PRCs also offer housing for mothers and their children, spiritual support, clothing, assistance for victims of abuse and human trafficking, and guidance. …
PRCs are places of hope — empowering moms and dads to receive the blessing of a child while feeling prepared to take on the future.
And then the transition:
Who doesn’t love PRCs? Kamala Harris. In fact, she has a history of working to shut them down
It’s an impressive—actually depressive—list of actions.
In 2015, Harris sponsored the Reproductive FACT Act. While she argued this law would “ensure that all women have equal access to comprehensive reproductive health services, and that they have the facts they need to make informed decisions about their health and their lives,” what it really did was require California pregnancy resource centers to advertise for the killing of unborn children.
Pregnancy resource centers sued because this law prevented them from carrying out their mission of saving unborn children from being brutally murdered by abortionists.
Harris was a U.S. Senator by the time the case was taken up by the Supreme Court, but (of course) Harris filed an amicus brief against the PRCs anyway.
But there’s more.
Then came the 2022 Dobbs decision which unshackled states. Pro-abortion Sen. Elizabeth Warren, sensing that PRC’s would be busier than ever, “called for PRCs to be shut down because she believes the loving care and resources they offer are ‘torture.’”
Yes, Warren described what they did as “torture.” She seethed when she told reporters that PRCs outnumber abortion clinics 3-1!
Szoch and Del Turco go on to track Harris’s campaign against PRCs.
A few months later, now as vice president, Kamala Harris met with Democratic state attorneys general at the White House to commend them for “taking on, rightly, the Crisis Pregnancy Centers.” She went on to describe the work of PRCs as “predatory practices.”
In the months preceding these slanderous remarks, there was a spike in violent pro-abortion protestors vandalizing and threatening PRCs. At least 90 PRCs have been attacked since the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in 2022. Dangerous rhetoric like that from Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren could serve to foment this kind of violence against PRCs.
You get the drift.
Harris is rightly described as “the most pro-abortion candidate to run at the top of the Democratic ticket.” That’s a mighty high bar but Harris scaled it easily.
She could not even bring herself to vote for a law protecting babies born alive from being killed or left to die after an abortion. And Kamala Harris doesn’t stop at promoting the killing of unborn children — she actively works to silence anyone helping mothers and fathers in need choose life.
If you’re looking for contrasts, the Trump administration was the first in history to visit a PRC. Harris was the first vice president or president to visit an abortion clinic.
There’s more but I would strongly suggest you read the article in its entirety. Here’s the concluding paragraph:
For American voters, this contrast presents a choice. Do we want to elect leaders who will stand behind pregnancy resource centers, which offer hope, personalized support, and a multitude of free resources for mothers and their children? Or, do we want to elect leaders who stand behind abortion businesses, who exploit the fears and discouragement of vulnerable mothers and fathers and profit off of the killing of their unborn children — while simultaneously working to silence anyone offering moms and dads a different option. On election day this November, we will be deciding between exactly those options.
