S2E10: The Pregnancy Network in the Media - Our Response Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

In the last several weeks, The Pregnancy Network has been mentioned in several Yes!Weekly articles, specifically regarding our presence outside the abortion facility in Greensboro. There has been much misinformation, including the accusation that our volunteers have been physically aggressive and illegally blocking traffic.

We want to take these allegations seriously, and in this episode, we address each article and share the truth about what happens on the sidewalk at A Woman's Choice in Greensboro.

Unfortunately, there will always be those who are uncomfortable with our presence outside the abortion facility. But our mission has and will always be to empower women to face their unplanned pregnancies without fear. We are committed to presenting women with all their options so they can make a fully-informed decision.
