In an article in The Daily News, the author describes how pro-lifers set up a center near an abortion clinic. The center would offer women help and support to carry their children to term, and would allow them to see ultrasound images of their unborn babies. They would provide the women with facts on abortion’s risks and information on alternatives.
According to Peter Ryan, executive director of New Brunswick Right to Life Association:
“The Mother and Child Welcome House will offer mothers another choice besides abortion. Most women who have abortions say they have no choice. They feel so overwhelmed. Trough the support we provide, we will offer these mothers the chance to be free from the dictates of fear and pressure.”
Dr. Morgentaler, the abortionist at the clinic, said the following:
“I hope many women will not be swayed into going there and receiving false information which would make them feel worse. A woman coming for an abortion already has the burden of making a decision which is often very difficult.”
