Brooklyn/Bronx, NY—On Tuesday, March 4, and Wednesday, March 5, New York-based pro-life medical network, CompassCare, celebrated the Grand Opening of two new medical offices in the Bronx and Brooklyn. The new offices are the only medical alternative to abortion for women in each borough, the two largest abortion hubs in America. Through these offices, CompassCare is providing women millions of dollars’ worth of free, life-saving medical care. Members of the community, political leaders, local church pastors, members of other pro-life partnering organizations, staff, and volunteers attended the two Grand Openings. Pro-abortion politicians which have attacked pro-life groups in New York like CompassCare, such as Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, Hakeem Jeffries, Yvette Clarke, Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand, and AOC were all invited but refused to attend or express gratitude for the hard work and generosity of the Church through CompassCare, providing their constituents with valued health care.
Meanwhile, after an interview with Real America’s Voice, the left-leaning outlet Jezebel attacked Rev. Harden for encouraging US Attorney General Pam Bondi to enforce the Comstock Act—a move that would halt the illegal shipment of chemical abortion nationally.
EWTN, The Currents News, and others are expected to run stories from the Grand Openings this week, including interviews with CompassCare CEO, Rev. Jim Harden. Click HERE for b-roll coverage of the Grand Opening in The Bronx.
Chairman of The Bronx Conservative Party’s Executive Committee, Patrick McManus said at The Bronx Grand Opening, “Myself as well as the Bronx County Conservative Party, rejoice in the opening of CompassCare [in the Bronx]. They will undoubtedly educate many young women about the alternatives to abortion that are available to them. This will save hundreds of women from carrying the psychological scars which many suffer after having an abortion.”
Pastor Ron Geroge said at the Brooklyn Grand Opening, “We have seen women in Brooklyn who have been broken by abandonment, loneliness, and the cares of this life—the cares of this world—and without hope. And we know hope comes from Christ. I see the service—the love—the desire [CompassCare] has to save babies and to help women, to truly help women. We are believing that broken women are going to come and find healing and restoration when they come through these doors.”
Rev. Jim Harden, CompassCare CEO, credited humanitarian hero, Chris Slattery, with over 46,000 lives saved from abortion, presenting memorial plaques to be hung in each new office. At the time of Slattery’s passing in 2023, Rev. Harden said, “It is never popular to take a public stand against systemic injustice…. I loved this about Chris. He was willing to offend in order to mend the gangrenous human wound of abortion. The truth is, either we believe all people are made in God’s image and are therefore equally valuable without qualification or equality is just a farcical tune to which fools dance.”
Rev. Harden also noted the conspicuous absence of Letitia James and Kathy Hochul, saying, “Gov. Hochul and Attorney General James should adopt a ‘see before you sue’ policy. We invited them both to the reopening of CompassCare’s firebombed medical office in Buffalo, Hochul’s hometown. Neither responded. We invited them and others to both Grand Openings this week, and only Hochul’s office responded, declining the invitation hours after the grand opening in The Bronx concluded. Yet both Hochul and James feel the need to attack CompassCare for providing free, life-saving care to their own constituents. No matter. Women in the Bronx and Brooklyn now have an ethical alternative to abortion.”
According to Rev. Harden, “Hochul and James would rather harass pro-life pregnancy centers providing women with millions of dollars’ worth of free medical care and support rather than protect women from the serial malpractice of the abortion industry.”
NY Governor Kathy Hochul is leveraging the recently passed Shield Law to obstruct inter-state investigations into illegal acts of NY abortionists, one of which is accused of harming women in LA and TX via illegal chemical abortions. This has effectively turned NY into an abortion sanctuary state—flouting the Federal Comstock Act and many States’ laws. As LA Attorney General Murrill said of a young LA girl who was allegedly forced to take a chemical abortion provided by a NY abortionist, “This child was NOT this doctor’s patient. She never met her, saw her, or knew anything about her. The child is a victim. [Gov. Hochul] is protecting a drug dealer who victimized a child.”
Help CompassCare expand to reach and serve even more women seriously considering abortion in NY and across the United States.
