Abortion

Palin Used Part of the City’s Funds from the Alaska Revenue Sharing Fund to Fund Anti-Abortion Center.

In 1997, Palin signed an ordinance appropriating $2,354 in funds to the Valley Crisis Pregnancy Center from the State of Alaska Revenue Sharing fund. The Valley Crisis Pregnancy Center lists itself as an "abortion alternative" in the Yellow Pages. CHECK OTHER YEARS

• Crisis Pregnancy Centers Are Known To Give Misleading and Often Inaccurate Information. A recent government investigation of pregnancy crisis centers found that "The centers provided false and misleading information about a link between abortion and breast cancer;" "The centers provided false and misleading information about the effect of abortion on future fertility;" "The centers provided false and misleading information about the mental health effects of abortion." Planned Parenthood also says the centers offer free pregnancy tests but give ambiguous answers about the results, show shocking films or slide shows while patients wait for pregnancy results, make exaggerated promises of financial assistance, medical treatment, prenatal and postpartum care and refuse or fail to provide contraceptive information.

• Valley Hospital Gave Grant to Valley Crisis Pregnancy Center. "Valley Hospital Healthy Communities Program awards grants: Grants totaling more than $ 58,000 were awarded to three local organizations. The committee allocated funds to Valley Crisis Pregnancy Center for the establishment of an abortion hotline, the Mat-Su Alternative School for its Peer Outreach program and to Teen Challenge for an abstinence course."

3. Feminists for Life are involved with these POS.

I can't help thinking that the leadership of these faux feminists is going to be found to have a financial interest in these "crisis centers".
