A faith-based pro-life pregnancy center in west Colorado Springs continues to draw pregnant women despite Planned Parenthood Westside’s move last summer to Centennial Boulevard near Fillmore Street, the Catholic Herald reports.
Abortions are performed at Planned Parenthood Westside.
The Old Colorado City Pregnancy Center opened in August 2008 in part to attract pregnant women away from Planned Parenthood Westside, which was a few houses west on West Colorado Boulevard. Read my story on the founding of the pregnancy center here.
“Things are going great,” Life Network executive director Christine Reyes told the Herald. “We’re seeing as many, if not more, clients.”
Reyes hasn’t ruled out that the center will some day move closer to the abortion clinic. But the Old Colorado City facility is serving an important purpose right now. The community, she told the Herald, “still has a need.”
This center and it’s people have done a great service to women in the community! Planned Parenthood moved because of this center, so I pray that they are so successful that they can open a second center that is closer to Planned Parenthood so that women know that there are people who care more for their babies than they do for the money used to kill them.
Only a xian could turn something with such potential to do good into a tool of opression.
Praise God this is great news.
“tool of oppression”? That is a joke, right? The only one being “oppressed” is the baby who is killed before they are allowed to give THEIR opinion about it all.
