The Daily Signal<\/a> reported yesterday that the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals<\/a> has ruled that Baltimore pro-life pregnancy centers do not have to put up signage in their waiting rooms saying they do not offer or refer for abortions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

At least 10 pregnancy help centers in the city of Baltimore<\/a> are being spared the city\u2019s \u201cweaponized\u201d attack on their work\u2014including Greater Baltimore Center for Pregnancy Concerns, which opened its fifth location in May 2017, right next door to a Planned Parenthood<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A legal process that has played out since early 2010 has failed to establish even one instance of pregnancy centers deceiving or misleading women into their offices, Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III<\/a> wrote in the ruling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter seven years of litigation and a 1,295-page record before us, the city does not identify a single example of a woman who entered the Greater Baltimore Center\u2019s waiting room under the misimpression that she could obtain an abortion there,\u201d Wilkinson, a Ronald Reagan<\/a> appointee, wrote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With pregnancy centers awaiting the Supreme Court\u2019s<\/a> say on a 2015 California law that forces state-licensed pro-life medical clinics to tell women where and how to get taxpayer-funded abortions, the 4th Circuit\u2019s ruling could play into a number of state and local efforts to curb life-saving alternatives to abortion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

As the abortion industry continues to spin its wheels in opposition to pro-life efforts, the pregnancy help community continues to celebrate lives saved and families transformed, one woman at a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, should the courts continue to shift the battlefield from government coercion to compassionate persuasion, the pregnancy help community can expect to go on<\/strong> celebrating more and more lives in the coming year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wonder how people will look back at abortion in twenty years. Since Roe v. Wade<\/a> (1973), there have been 59,115,995 abortions based on numbers reported by the Guttmacher Institute<\/a> 1973-2014, with projections of 926,190 for 2015-16. GI has estimated possible undercounts of 3-5%,so an additional 3% is factored into the overall total. That’s a lot of American children that are not with us.<\/p>\n
