Connecticut Attorney General William Tong Attacks Pro-Life Pregnancy Care Centers in Letter Filled with Untruthful Statements

This was not reported in the mainstream media. They only reported on the META lawsuit.

Sixteen attorneys general signed an open letter two weeks ago condemning crisis pregnancy centers. William Tong and attorneys general from 15 states published the eight-page letter on October 23, accusing crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), which are generally run by pro-life advocates and provide alternatives to abortion, of spreading “misinformation and harm.”

In their letter, 16 AGs defended Yelp, a social media company that is facing a lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after allegedly discriminating against crisis pregnancy centers on its website. The letter was full of the common misrepresentative statements used by pro-abortion advocates.

Isn't it Time for Real School Choice in Connecticut ?

School choice is a term for education options that allow students and families to select alternatives to public schools. It is the subject of fierce debate in various state legislatures, including Connecticut. However, true school choice is strongly opposed by political bureaucrats.

The most common type of school choice program in the United States are scholarship tax credit programs. These allow individuals or corporations to receive tax credits toward their state taxes in exchange for donations made to non-profit organizations that grant private school scholarships.

Another step that Connecticut can take is to re-include Catholic schools and private schools into the existing Open Choice network, as they once were before the expansion of magnet schools. Simple, expanded child state tax rebates and credits for education and childcare could ease income barriers to private schools that educate the whole child and do it well.

Past efforts by the Connecticut Catholic Public Affairs Conference were met with strong opposition from political bureaucrats and secularists, but it is time for us to reengage our legislators to help families and children achieve their academic and spiritual goals..
