HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Pro-life pregnancy centers went to court Friday to try to overturn a new law that they argue requires them to publicly post abortion referrals.
During a hearing before U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson, attorneys for Calvary Chapel Pearl Harbor and the Aloha Pregnancy Care and Counseling Center argued that the law violates their right to free speech and religion because it forces them to post signs that interfere with their faith.
"It compels even non-medical pregnancy centers to recite what amounts to a government-scripted advertisement for abortion," said Kevin Connelly, Calvary's attorney. "It forces a church, Calvary Chapel Pearl Harbor, to post on its walls that same message which interferes with the faith, mission and governance of the church."
Connelly said the law also exposes his clients to lawsuits from third parties if the centers don't post those signs.
"That threatens to extinguish the pro-life centers altogether," he said. "That's money that goes from poor and needy women to lawsuits."
But the state argued that the law does not violate anyone's constitutional rights. It's about making sure women are safe.

Although it is easy for me to say it from a distance, this is the time for civil disobedience. Watching people of faith being hauled away in handcuffs for refusing to affirmatively promote abortion is the quickest way to eliminate this law and turn people against abortion more.
Unconstitutional requirement of “speech” from a script.
Like a damn loyalty oath the Feminazism.
These same banshees screech at the thought of letting a woman or GIRL being forced into an abortion see footage of the sonogram or otherwise confronting reality.
Promote it by giving out fliers with the truth. 1. Your baby will die and then list how. 2. List the pain scale for the procedure. Make sure they know it’s a 10. 3. For years you more than likely will be depressed and need therapy. 4. Every year around the same time you had your abortion you will think of the birthay of your deceased child and mourn.
See,freedom of speech is only one-way.
Unless you speak the latest leftist idology, you must be silenced or compelled by threat of force to speak the latest leftist ideology.
Post it with a big sign above it saying, “the state requires us to post this but here’s what you need to know: and list all the stats, pain levels, photos of the developing baby, etc.
This is how they destroy Christianity, by forcing people to choose between faith and jail.
requires them to publicly post abortion referrals.
I wonder what would happen if they decided to play along instead of fighting right out of their gate, such as:
Big Sign with the Governors Picture with the caption:
I want to KILL your Fetus, Please Call , and list the numbers
Hell have a Vacuum in his hand or by his side, get creative it might be fun to take them at their word LITERALLY!
Proud Democrats and Planned Parenthood are here to help you Murder Children, show their pics and give the numbers
and my top choice is QUOTES from Margaret Sanger and her eugenics push to exterminate the minority population.
Most women who abort don’t mourn the death of the baby.
