Spelman's proposal, which the council will consider Thursday , would require such centers to display two , 8.5- by 11 -inch signs at the entrance of their facilities. The signs would say: "This center does not provide abortions or refer to abortion providers. This center does not provide or refer to providers of U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved birth control drugs and medical devices."
One sign would have to be in English and one in Spanish, and both would have to have a font size of at least 48 points. Failure to comply would be a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by fines of up to $450 per offense.

(And, while you're on the phone, tell them how you feel about their authorizing your property taxes to pay for abortions in the City and County.)
Isn’t this the same bunch that objected to ultrasounds or full-disclosure before abortion? What happened to allowing women to gather their own information? Why warn women about anti-abortion groups and not about abortion itself?

Pro-aborts really HATE these crisis pregnancy centers.
The only logical reason that they hate them is that fewer abortions happen and more babies get born instead of killed.
The Baltimore City Council passed this same law recently.
Coming to a community near you soon.
Girls and women who are pregnant and didn’t plan or expect it need help. Unfortunately the liberals only want these girls and women to get certain types of help.
If they are “pro-choice”, why are the liberals so opposed to anyone counseling girls and women that they can give life to their babies, and give them up for adoption? That’s a choice as much as abortion is a choice to solve their problem.
to hell with dat.
If there is any question remaining in anyone’s mind that the abortion industry owns the government from the white house down, let them get a clue.
“However, they aren’t licensed to provide health care, don’t offer abortions and birth control services, and often fail to tell clients that those services are available elsewhere, he said.”
In the same vein, I propose that all fast food restaurants be required to post that they ‘do not offer healthy, nutritious, fat free meals but those meals ARE available elsewhere. Also, should you experience cardiovascular problems while on our premises, we do not provide health services on site.’
Any other choice besides abortion implies that one or the other is morally superior or inferior.
Any suggestion that abortion is morally inferior leads irrevocably to the fact that an abortion kills an innocent human being.
Their consciences can’t allow that, therefore, there can be no other choice than abortion.
Exactly. The pro-abortion side wants to limit information they don’t like, but is all about providing information that they do like.
I say, provide all of the information/warnings, at both types of facility.
How about a required sign for the abortion clinics?
This facility performs and refers for abortions and contraceptives which carry significant short and long term health risks. Failure, misdemeanor and fine.
Well fair is fair, The abortion clinics should be required to post in the same size, “Attention: This Abortion Center Kills Innocent Babies!”.
Just so long as Abortion Centers have to similarly post:
"This Facility Kills Babies."
Because the abortion industry is a big business for the medical industry as well as the cosmetics industry.
Actually, this is not a bad idea, *as long as* those organizations that *do* offer birth control and abortion are *also* required to post signs that clearly state Texas law.
They would state the parental notification law, prohibition against third trimester abortion, that the facility and those within are licensed by the state, and that there are criminal penalties for disregarding or evading the law.
There’s nothing to say the center can’t also put up their own sign such as “But before you decide to kill your baby, speak to us. We listen and we care.”
All ready a law in Baltimore,MD
Y’all have some good ideas.
Does anyone in the City plan on going to the meeting?
