    Another side, anti-abortion centers

    This came as a pleasant surprise to me, from this morning's NYT:

    Crisis pregnancy centers outnumber abortion clinics in New York, said Aviva Zadoff, the director of advocacy at the National Council of Jewish Women New York, who leads Pro-Truth, a reproductive rights nonprofit that maintains a database on the centers. There are at least 24 anti-abortion centers across the city, compared with 20 abortion clinics; across the state there are 120 anti-abortion clinics compared with 74 abortion clinics, according to the Pro-Truth database.

    And just as abortion clinics have been attacked over the years, the violence sometimes goes in the other direction, too. This month an anti-abortion center in Buffalo was firebombed overnight; its windows were blown out and two firefighters were injured.
    These centers apparently vary in their services and as a group have their own critics but I am glad to see this, for herein lies the potential of a changing attitude and respect toward unborn life.

    I like it when Americans can and do, gravitate to services they need. There are too many governments that force their people to comply.
