Reverend Remains Steadfast after Firebombing of Pregnancy Center, Despite 'No Call', Money or Other Help from NY Government

Billy Hallowell : Jul 18, 2022  Faithwire.com

"They have an all-out attack on shutting down pregnancy centers' ability to actually reach and serve women seriously considering abortion. [New York Attorney General Letitia James is] asking Google to wipe us off the map so that they can't find us." -Rev. Jim Harden

That's how the Rev. Jim Harden, president of CompassCare Pregnancy Services in Rochester, New York, framed the current rhetorical—and physical—attacks on crisis pregnancy centers.

No Support From New York

While a few state officials denounced the violence at crisis pregnancy centers, Harden said his organization hasn't received any phone calls from officials like Hochul offering help or expressing dismay over what unfolded.

"It has been a little disappointing," he said. "And instead of reaching out and saying, 'Hey, let's enforce the law equally, let's protect all of our citizens equally,' Governor Hochul essentially sent $10,000,000 to [abortion providers]"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
