We are thankful for your dedication to offer hope to all who enter your doors and for God’s continued provision in your centers…Happy Thanksgiving!
Legislative Challenges
With opposition to our movement growing, now is a critical time to schedule a friendly meeting with your legislative reps. Introduce your center and share about your clients, use language familiar to them and focus on ways you are a benefit to their district.
On Nov 7th, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted on an agenda item with the intended purpose of closing pregnancy centers within the district. This item failed to pass due to a vacant seat but will be heard again by the full Board in the upcoming Dec 5th meeting. Please join in person to speak on the value of Pregnancy Centers and the specific help they provide to the community:
San Diego County Building
1600 Pacific Coast Hwy, Rm 310;
Meeting begins at 9am and will likely last into the afternoon
On October 23, Sixteen State Attorneys General signed an open letter penned by California AG Rob Bonta (Click here to read). We are considering on an “Open Letter from Women’s Clinics” refuting the derogatory remarks.
