How? PRCs provide unwavering support for moms and dads in need. Everyone who walks through their door is met with an open heart, a listening ear, and a plethora of resources — clothing, diapers, wipes, formula; education about pregnancy, parenting, and life skills; and medical services like pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and STD testing. Many PRCs also offer housing for mothers and their children, spiritual support, clothing, assistance for victims of abuse and human trafficking, and guidance in applying for Medicaid, SNAPS, and WIC.

In 2022, it is estimated that pregnancy resource centers donated $367,896,513 in goods and services to moms and dads in need. Some of the material needs they provided include 3,590,911 packs of diapers, 1,216,438 packs of wipes, 4,256,274 baby outfits, and 300,008 bottles of infant formula. But perhaps equally important, 409,409 clients attended parenting and prenatal programs at PRCs; 20,863 clients received after-abortion support, and 660,064 youth attended sexual risk avoidance education programs.

PRCs are places of hope — empowering moms and dads to receive the blessing of a child while feeling prepared to take on the future.

Who doesn’t love PRCs? Kamala Harris. In fact, she has a history of working to shut them down.

In 2015, Harris sponsored the Reproductive FACT Act. While she argued this law would “ensure that all women have equal access to comprehensive reproductive health services, and that they have the facts they need to make informed decisions about their health and their lives,” what it really did was require California pregnancy resource centers to advertise for the killing of unborn children.

Pregnancy resource centers sued because this law prevented them from carrying out their mission of saving unborn children from being brutally murdered by abortionists. By the time the case was taken up by the Supreme Court, Kamala Harris served as a U.S. senator, but she filed an amicus brief against the PRCs anyway.

Following the Dobbs decision giving legislators the power to once again protect life, fellow amicus brief signatory and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called for PRCs to be shut down because she believes the loving care and resources they offer are “torture.”

A few months later, now as vice president, Kamala Harris met with Democratic state attorneys general at the White House to commend them for “taking on, rightly, the Crisis Pregnancy Centers.” She went on to describe the work of PRCs as “predatory practices.”

In the months preceding these slanderous remarks, there was a spike in violent pro-abortion protestors vandalizing and threatening PRCs. At least 90 PRCs have been attacked since the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in 2022. Dangerous rhetoric like that from Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren could serve to foment this kind of violence against PRCs.

Make no mistake, Kamala Harris is the most pro-abortion candidate to run at the top of the Democratic ticket. She could not even bring herself to vote for a law protecting babies born alive from being killed or left to die after an abortion. And Kamala Harris doesn’t stop at promoting the killing of unborn children — she actively works to silence anyone helping mothers and fathers in need choose life.

In stark contrast to this is the work of former President Donald Trump. During his administration, the Department of Health and Human Services notified the state of California that the law Harris co-sponsored requiring PRCs to advertise for abortion was unconstitutional. Thankfully, the Supreme Court agreed.

Under Trump, in recognition of the lives and taxpayer dollars they save, PRCs were eligible to receive taxpayer dollars through Title X funds. While this past year, Vice President Harris became the highest-ranking U.S. official to publicly visit an abortion business, the Trump administration was the first in history to visit a pregnancy resource center.

For American voters, this contrast presents a choice. Do we want to elect leaders who will stand behind pregnancy resource centers, which offer hope, personalized support, and a multitude of free resources for mothers and their children? Or, do we want to elect leaders who stand behind abortion businesses, who exploit the fears and discouragement of vulnerable mothers and fathers and profit off of the killing of their unborn children — while simultaneously working to silence anyone offering moms and dads a different option. On election day this November, we will be deciding between exactly those options.

Buttigieg’s comments on abortion ignited a fiery online debate. Many users criticized his perspective, claiming that men benefit from a society where abortion is legal and accessible. They argued that abortion primarily serves men by allowing them to engage in sexual relationships without facing the potential consequences of parenthood.

The discussion also explored the broader implications of abortion, such as its emotional and physical toll on women and the ethical considerations of terminating a pregnancy. Some interpreted Buttigieg’s remarks as a frank acknowledgment of the perceived benefits for men, while others condemned his views as insensitive and dismissive of the complexities surrounding reproductive decisions.

“Pete Buttigieg says that men are freer when abortion is legal because men can have consequence free sex and simply kill their unborn babies instead of taking responsibility for them. But J.D. Vance is weird or something,” said conservative Greg Price.

Writer Mollie Hemingway chimed in: ““Kill all them babies so men can be free” is a hell of a decline for Mayor Pete.”

And Abby Johnson added: “Children shouldn’t have to die just so men can use a woman’s body for pleasure with no consequence. That’s a disgusting concept.”

In fact, there are more than 50 burial sites of aborted children all over the country. Don’t you think we ought to visit those burial sites and pray in mourning for these children?

That’s just what’s happening on Saturday, September 14, the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children.

Since 2013, pro-lifers have gathered at the burial places of aborted babies and other memorials erected in their honor to mourn for these babies and pray for an end to abortion.

This year’s service will be more important than ever. In this election year, we need to help our fellow citizens see that abortion is not just a political issue. We need to help them grieve for the loss of these victims and heal from the wounds of abortion as we begin working to extend legal protection to our unborn brothers and sisters in all 50 states.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you today to invite you to be a part of this year’s Day of Remembrance in a special way. Will you consider signing on to host a prayer service in your area during this year’s National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children on September 14?

If you’re willing to do this, the first step is to check out the list of burial places and other memorial markers.

If you find a location near you — or know about one nearby that isn’t on my list — you can sign on to lead a prayer service on September 14.

My team and I have put together all the resources you need to organize this event, including promotional materials, a sample prayer service agenda, and more. And if you’ve never led an event like this before, we’ll be available to you every step of the way with whatever help you might need.

Over the years, countless women and men have drawn hope and healing from this solemn day of mourning for the unborn victims of abortion. This year, you can be a part of bringing peace to those suffering abortion regret, and testifying to all our fellow Americans that the innocent victims of abortion must never be forgotten.

Don’t believe me? Just ask GovTrack. They cited that in 2019, then Sen. Kamala Harris was the MOST Leftist senator in the country. Even more to the Left than Democratic Socialist, Bernie Sanders. What a feat.

And when it comes to extremism, there is no clearer image of that than her record on abortion. Where President Joe Biden was extreme in action, in rhetoric, he avoided saying the word abortion. But with Mrs. Harris as president, this country will officially close the chapter on Democrats’ stance of “all abortions are tragic.” And will cement a new Democrat stance on abortion. They will officially become the “Shout Your Abortion” party.

As Tucker Carlson said this week, “[Kamala Harris] is an abortion fanatic…it’s hard to understand the fanaticism, that sort of crazed, wild-eyed enthusiasm for abortion from her.”

To truly understand that fanaticism let’s look at the top five most radical abortion actions Mrs. Harris has championed to date.

1. Kamala Harris refuses to name any limits on abortion that she supports.
Mrs. Harris continues to gaslight the American people by saying all she wants to do is “bring Roe v. Wade back” but, when asked repeatedly what that means to her and what, if any, protections should be there for babies in the womb … she can’t list a single one. Listen to her dodge this question for four minutes on CBS, when the reporter hounds her to pick a single week where babies are allowed the right to live. Even when a reporter asked if she’d support a 20 to 24-week limit. Kamala shook her head and said, “No, no, no.“ She wouldn’t even commit to a seven- or either-month limit.

And there’s a reason for that as seen in our No. 2 most radical abortion action.

2. Mrs. Harris co-sponsored legislation that federally forces all-trimester abortions on all 50 states.
The so-called Women’s Health Protection Act is so radical, even members of the Democrat party said it would go much further than Roe. And then they opposed it. This is the legislation that Democrats continue to try and shove through Congress to make the law of the land. And Mrs. Harris was an early sponsor and originator of it. It would not only bypass the will of the voters in each state and strip all pro-life states of their protections for babies in the womb but it would mandate all-trimester abortion laws in each state. It would take away informed consent laws for people seeking abortions and would get rid of parental consent for parents of minors seeking abortions. These are just a few of the shocking laws Mrs. Harris’ WHPA would federally force all states to do. And speaking of laws…

3. While in Congress, she repeatedly voted against protecting babies when they can feel pain AND babies born alive after failed abortions.
Mrs. Harris’ congressional record showed that she voted twice against a limit on abortions at 20 weeks, well after science shows unborn babies can feel pain. She didn’t stop there, she made sure to say that granting babies the right to live at five months, is “immoral.” As if that wasn’t bad enough, she also voted twice against providing any kind of medical care for babies who survive an abortion. If it were up to Mrs. Harris, nationwide survivors like those from the Abortion Survivors Network, would not be granted a second chance at life.

4. She is the first vice president to visit (and campaign) at an abortion center.
There’s a reason presidential and vice-presidential candidates have avoided visiting centers that abort babies. Democrats used to say that all abortions were tragic. But today, Mrs. Harris has decided to celebrate it by campaigning at an abortion facility. An unprecedented act that casts a spotlight on the misery of women and their children.

5. She prosecutes pro-life Americans and shuts down pregnancy centers.
For all her talk about “freedom,” Mrs. Harris is doing her level best to squelch any dissent to abortion, whether that be free speech, investigative reporting, whistleblowers or centers trying to provide alternatives to abortion for mothers in need.

When brave citizen journalists exposed Planned Parenthood’s role in the selling of baby body parts, she swiftly prosecuted the whistleblowers, instead of the abortion businesses illegally selling baby organs.

And as California attorney general, Mrs. Harris also backed legislation to shut down pregnancy centers that provide real support for women and families. Why did she push to shut them down? Because according to her, they needed to refer women to abortions. Thankfully, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down that action as unconstitutional. But that hasn’t stopped her targeting. Today, Mrs. Harris praises efforts to shut down pregnancy centers. And under the Biden-Harris administration, the targeting of pro-life Americans has only escalated as the DOJ throws nonviolent pro-life activists in prison for years.

Kamala Harris’ record on abortion shows us a politician who is not only radical on the act but one who celebrates it. Where Joe Biden could barely say the word “abortion,” Kamala Harris shouts it from the rooftops. If president, Mrs. Harris has already promised to take a whole government approach to forcing states to institute late-term abortion all while we, the taxpayers, fund it.

And make no mistake, she intends to make good on her promise of federally pushing abortion in America.
