A Massachusetts Senator has described the work of pro-life pregnancy centers as “torture.”

The centres providing counselling and practical help to women with unplanned pregnancies and mothers with new borns. They have been subject to numerous attacks and acts of vandalism in the wake of the United States Supreme Court’s ruling last month to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Senator Elizabeth Warren spoke with reporters last week about defending abortion rights and took aim at eliminating crisis pregnancy centers across the country.

“In Massachusetts right now, those crisis pregnancy centers, that are there to fool people who are looking for pregnancy termination help, outnumber true abortion clinics by three to one,” Warren said. “We need to shut them down here in Massachusetts, and we need to shut them down all around the country. You should not be able to torture a pregnant person like that.”

She introduced the “Stop Anti-Abortion Disinformation Act” to combat what she calls “false advertising” from crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs).

This is part of a sweeping effort by Congressional House Democrats to reinstate a top-down abortion policy that would bar all 50 states from punishing abortionists. The House has scheduled votes on a proposed bill to strike down nearly all state pro-life protections until birth.
