Protecting Life

Why is the New York City Council proposing a Clinic Access Bill to create a buffer zone between expectant moms and sidewalk counselors who have a history of helping thousands of women make the loving choice to have their children?

The proposed bill is meant to ensure that more women are quickly ushered into abortion clinics – and in New York City, the abortion industry’s target is no different than their target throughout the US : black and Hispanic women.

Volunteers in front of New York City’s abortion clinics, like Monsignor Reilly and God’s Precious Helpers, have made a great impact in the lives of mostly black and Hispanic women who face unplanned pregnancies. Many expectant women who approach abortion clinics feel they have no where to turn for help. Nowhere, that is, until they are greeted by sidewalk counselors who believe women deserve better and deserve support and care to raise their families.
