CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS

A really incredible article came out yesterday about Crisis Pregnancy Centers. The author named names and pointed fingers. The author kept it about reproductive rights. I would like to expand it a little further. Many adoption agencies including Gladney man these CPCs. Some of these CPCs can also be very aggressive in their tactics as well. I have had friends go to the local CPC in Vernon, Texas. I have gotten reports that horrifying in their own right. A dear friend of mine went to it to get a verification pregnancy test for medicaid. She is a married woman. She went there with her son and husband. They asked her three times in front of son and husband to relinquish her child. Some of these CPCs after reviewing this case are obviously getting federal funding. The states with the strongest right to life organizations are Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, and Illinois. The monies earned begins to add up.

So lets take her links a step further. We are looking at American Pregnancy Helpline and the American Pregnancy Association.

American Pregnancy Association owns the American Pregnancy Helpline. They are associated with many Right to Life organizations, CPCs, and adoption agencies. They disguise themselves as being pro-choice. They don't provide good and valid information on all three of the choices for women. Those choices are parenting, abortion, and adoption. They tend to focus on relinquishing parental rights.

American Pregnancy Helpline.

They are associated with many abstinence only links. Scott & White's Worth the Wait website is thus linked even further to other abstinence only websites, CPC links and American Pregnancy Association. Hi-Line Industrial Sales is one of their supporters. This organization also provides the tools needed by the technicians and Mechanics for the show, Monster Garage. The adoption agency associated with them is Bethany Christian Services. When you click onto the pregnancy link of their website, it sends you to the American Pregnancy Association where adoption is still emphasized. After reading through the parenting portion, they seem to try to dissuade you from parenting your own child. They link also to the Pregnancyinsurance.org website which included these links to CPCs. Most of these organizations are faith based organizations. There is a church associated with most of them.

Their links include the following:

• ABBA pregnancy Center is out of Palmyra, New Jersey. They are also associated with Small World Adoption Services.
• Altanta Care is out of Georgia. They offer abortion alternatives. Their parenting page has a list of questions that steer men and women away from parenting their own children.
• In Indiana, A Hope Center out of Fort Wayne. It is funded by community donations.
  
• In Minnesota, Rum River Life Choices Center of Milaca is connected to Care Net. Care Net is a national crisis pregnancy center chain. They are also associated with Bethany Christian Services and Adoption.com.
• In Mississippi, Crisis Pregnancy Center of Southwest Mississippi is associated with the A Child to Love, Holy Family Services and Adoption.com. They are also linked to the Mississippi Right To Life organization as well. The A Child to Love adoption services doesn't seem to be an active site. There is no contact information. Holy Family Services is out of California. They also receive federal funding in the way of medicaid payments. They also seem to be a chain of adoption agencies as well. Bethany Christian Services, Crisis Pregnancy Ministries (Focus on the Family and Dr. James Dobson) and Care Net with their Optionline also advertise on their website as well.
• In Spring Valley, New York, Care Net Pregnancy Center of Rockland is their crisis pregnancy center of choice. According to the Care Net IRS Form 990, they also gave them money to continue operations. Care Net is also connected to the Heartbeat International. It is a prolife organization which has many connections to adoption agencies around the world. They boast of having offices in 42 countries. So there is the international adoption connection here as well.
  
• In Greensboro, North Carolina, Greensboro Pregnancy Care Center is another organization that is connected to the Care Net and Heartbeat International organizations which are connected to maternity homes and adoption agencies around the world.
• In Pennsylvania, New Horizons Pregnancy Resource Center is also connected to Heartbeat International.
• In Austin, Texas, the Austin Pregnancy Resource Center is also connected to many of these organizations. They are also connected to Loving & Caring.
• In Charleston, West Virginia, Woman's Choice is their CPC of choice. They are also connected to many of the same organizations. Bethany and Adoption.com are their adoption agencies. They are also associated with West Virginians for Life.

So we know that the adoption industry is roughly a 15 to 20 BILLION Dollar business. Many of the adoption agencies are connected to the Right to Life mission. The right to life organizations complain about the 336 million dollars that Planned Parenthood receives in contributions and fees. Lets look at these main organizations and their revenues and donations. I have also heard that Gladney is beginning to do the training behind many of the Texas CPCs.

I know that there is twenty six million dollars given to these types of organizations to develop abstinence programs across the country.

We have roughly 20 billion dollars that we are starting with. Lets look at some of the organizations associated with the CPCs. There are 709 organizations that have association with the Right to Life movement. There are many organizations that don't have to report because they don't have an income over $25,000.

This totals up to $205,587,817 give a take a dollar or two of reported income from these right to life organizations. Plus you add into the adoption industry. They are all connected. Its big bucks. When you compare it to Planned Parenthood and NARAL it doesn't even come close to their money. All of these organizations rant and rave about the teen pregnancy rate but only the right to life, CPCs and the adoption industry itself fights against increasing sexual education and contraception. In fact, there are indications that the right to life movement is trying to diminish contraception availability to the poorest women. We haven't included Churches and their funds into this little business venture. It adds up real quick. They are about denying rights not just to adoptees but all living adoption. They want to control those funds and keep them incoming.
