Christmas thieves strike at Crisis Pregnancy Center in TN

Cross Posted at Life News;


A pregnancy center in Tennessee that helps pregnant women find abortion alternatives was burglarized on Christmas Day. Local police are working to try to catch the thieves who broke into the Pregnancy Center of Middle Tennessee.


From a local news report on the incident:


For nearly two decades, the nonprofit center has helped pregnant women and new moms by providing baby supplies, clothing, free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and counseling. Last week, thieves broke in and nearly wiped them out. In addition to girl’s baby clothes, diapers, a crib and stroller, the burglars also took a laptop, furniture and art.


The center’s director doesn’t think it was a random act. She believes the thieves had been to the center before, knew exactly what they wanted and where to find it.


“It was just a little too specific which makes me think it’s someone who has been here,” Executive Director Victoria Koloff said.


The burglary has left the center in a critical situation without the necessary supplies and baby needs that are important to providing pregnant mothers with the support they need to overcome the financial and other challenges that may accompany an unplanned pregnancy.


LifeNews encourages readers to donate to support the center by going tohttp://www.pregnancycentercolumbia.org/Donate.html and anyone locally can drop off donations of baby items at 704 Dunnington Street in Columbia. Anyone with information about the incident that could help police solve the crime should call 931-388-2727.

Feministe thinks it is creepy to offer services to help women and babies at CPCs...Huh?

From Jill Stanek.com
I just had to cross post this....what on earth....why oh why is this considered bad or creepy...that pro life crisis pregnancy centers would offer limited medical services to assist the moms and babies?? She chides them for not offering mammograms...earth to Feminsite...Planned Parenthood does not offer mammograms either although they  lie about it .... as in president Richards saying on national TV that they do.....!!
How terrible that they offer prenatal vitamins, prenatal care,  STI testing and eye exams. Isn't it a good thing to help the women???  PP offers STI testing....but no prenatal care,  of course. 

Like the worker at the abortion mill in NM said on tape when calling for an ambulance for the woman experiencing seizures during the abortion. Dispatcher: is she pregnant? Staffer: She was but not anymore!! See video at last Proliferations...hear it for yourself. No prenatal vitamins needed, huh!

“The newest in creepy from crisis pregnancy centers”: Eek, women’s health clinics!

There’s another strategy that’s gotten less attention: an under-the-radar campaign by large anti-choice organizations, like the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates and Focus on the Family, to fund and guide the conversion of CPCs into licensed, limited-service medical clinics, ramping up their services to include pregnancy tests and ultrasound.
Although they offer only limited women’s health services – none offer mammograms, for instance – medical clinic status has led many to start offering early prenatal care, prenatal vitamins, STI testing and even eye exams. A few have started advertising pap smears.

Albert Mohler:The Culture of Death Grows Desperate: War Declared on Crisis Pregnancy Centers

Cross posted from Albert Mohler.com

Crisis pregnancy centers deserve the support of all who cherish the sanctity of life, the defense of the unborn, and the right of free speech.

 

The U.S. Supreme Court’s declaration of war upon the unborn in its infamous 1973 decision, Roe v. Wade, caught most conservative Christians unprepared and unaware. This shock to the nation’s conscience required Christians and other pro-life activists to develop arguments, strategies, and organizations in order to confront the Culture of Death and the legalized killing of the unborn.

The Roe v. Wade decision was quickly repackaged by pro-abortion forces into a “pro-choice” argument that was intended to avoid the scandal of being pro-abortion. Nevertheless, the pro-choice mantra never really worked as a public relations strategy for pro-abortion forces for one simple reason: The only “choice” the pro-abortion forces would accept or respect is the choice to abort.

If that sounds extreme, just consider recent developments in cities like Baltimore, New York, and San Francisco. First in Baltimore, and then in New York City, municipal governments passed laws intended to shut down or curtail the work of crisis pregnancy centers in their cities. The crisis pregnancy centers have been among the most important platforms for saving unborn human lives and reasserting human dignity. This is especially true in more recent years, as many of these centers have begun using sophisticated ultrasound imaging technologies in order to show pregnant women the unborn babies within them.

These centers are staffed by brave workers and an army of volunteers who are committed to counsel women against killing their unborn babies. The ultrasound images have been massively important in this counseling process. Once the woman sees the unborn life within her, the chances of that baby surviving to live birth are tremendously enhanced.

As one abortion rights activist famously declared, “The fetus beat us.” When the fetus is seen for what is really is, the mother has a much harder time deciding to abort it. Crisis pregnancy centers generally offer a variety of services, ranging from counseling and adoption services to medical care and support for new mothers. All this is too much for the abortion industry, which rightly sees crisis pregnancy centers as their increasingly powerful opposition.

Accepting Abundance: "Life" at Planned Parenthood

We went to pray the Rosary led by Bishop McManus in Worcester, and the experience was rather strange. The day before vandals had broken a window at the non-profit crisis pregnancy center across the street and spray painted an arson warning "fire next time" beside an anarchy sign on the building. The crowd of people praying, however, was the epitome of peace and joy amidst what should have felt tense. It was a strange and stark contrast, a bright contrast.

There were students standing in rows dressed sharply in uniform praying out loud along with the bishop and then again with another priest. There were nuns smiling. There were children playing with a dog. There were babies. There were bright balloons with the word "LIFE." There were people of all ages, praying very, very peacefully. And when they weren't praying they were cheerfully but quietly enjoying the company of each other, in spite of the random hateful jeer from observers.

Oddly Planned Parenthood called the police because the bishop and the priest used a microphone to pray and some children ran into the forbidden zone in front of the building...where they kill children. They don't like children at Planned Parenthood.

I expected sadness because abortion is a sad evil, but in spite of the sadness of the act we protest with our mouth and with our heart, there was instead a surreal joy all around. Even the sun was shining brightly. Like I said, strange. With such a formidable and peaceful presence of people praying together for grace and mercy, maybe the the euphoria existed because no one was killed inside Planned Parenthood during that heavenly time. Maybe for a little while there was only LIFE at Planned Parenthood. God have mercy on us.

"Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me:
for the kingdom of heaven is for such." Matthew 19:14

NYC eyeing restrictions on CPC's means more casualties...

Post by Dr. Nadal is profound as is his concern  of the impact of a bill before the NYC council restricting Crisis Pregnancy Centers in  their ability to help abortion vulnerable men and women and save lives.

"Victory for the other side means more casualties on ours, yet my study of the history of war reveals that the worst happens right before the end. That’s when the carnage tends to be greatest."

It is not  just another legislative victory or defeat.
