For Immediate Release: January 23, 2025
Rev. Jim Harden, CEO of CompassCare, a NY-based pro-life medical network, is proud of Rep. Claudia Tenney’s (NY-24) Pregnancy Center Defense Act.
Rev. Harden states, “A recent study revealed that nearly 70% of women who had an abortion were coerced. Pro-life Pregnancy Resource Centers like CompassCare provide a third of a billion dollars of free medical care and support to women facing unplanned pregnancy every year. Pro-life Pregnancy Resource Centers provide a woman with true choice: the ability to say ‘no’ to abortion.”
Rev. Harden continues, “And yet, pro-abortion domestic terrorists have attacked hundreds of pro-life Pregnancy Resource Centers—firebombing CompassCare in 2022, vandalizing us in 2023, and engaging in cyber terror acts in 2025. Added to that, Big Tech censored us, preventing women from finding our free, ethical services in their time of need; pro-abortion politicians like NY Gov. Hochul weaponized legislation against us; NY Attorney General Letitia James engaged in lawfare, seeking specifically to prevent women from receiving life-saving emergency abortion pill reversal at our medical offices; all while a politicized federal law enforcement turned a blind eye.”
Harden concludes, “From the terrorists to pro-abortion politicians, the goal of their attacks is the same: shut down all competition to the abortion industry. What Congresswoman Tenney understands is the need to shut down the unjust attacks and abuse of peaceful pro-life citizens, sacrificially investing in their neighbor in crisis. Rep. Tenney’s bill is a strong step in that direction.”
Help CompassCare expand to reach and serve even more women seriously considering abortion in NY and across the United States.
