Pro-Abortion Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro (PA) will end his state’s decades-long contract with an anti-abortion organization, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Reportedly, Shapiro ended a 30-year long contract with the nonprofit organization Real Alternatives, the first organization in the nation to secure “significant” state and federal funds for pro-life counseling centers. The organization allocated funds to many Catholic charities, anti-abortion centers and maternity homes that help women in a crisis pregnancy.
The pro-abortion governor reportedly stated that his administration would not “continue that pattern” and support abortion access instead.
After nearly 30 years, Gov. Josh Shapiro will end state funding for anti-abortion counseling centers in Pennsylvania.

Last year, lawmakers sent $7 million to Real Alternatives, which funded more than 70 centers in the state, according to CBS News.
Eileen Artysh, the executive director of St. Margaret of Castello Maternity Home, receives money through Real Alternatives to provide housing, materials and parenting counseling to women who are in a crisis pregnancy. She told AP that many of the women who come to their facility have made up their minds about having their baby.
“Until there’s that last penny left, I’m in this for the long haul,” she said. “And the moms that we help — I can’t imagine deserting any of them.”
Alyssa MacAfee, 26, told the outlet that she was homeless and jobless and in early recovery when she discovered she was pregnant. She went to St. Margaret’s at six months pregnant and stayed there until her child was 5 months old.
“Everyone was definitely looking at my situation like, ‘You cannot bring a baby into the world right now,’ but I knew that I wanted to,” she told the outlet. “It turned out to be the biggest blessing life has ever given me.”
Reportedly, pro-abortion Democrats and groups like Planned Parenthood PA worked to have the contract ended.
“It’s sad because this is a great program, and you take this program away, abortions will substantially increase in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” Kevin Bagatta, president and CEO for Real Alternatives, told the outlet.

I imagine it’s nice to not have any Pro-Life Centers around if you tend to get your girlfriends knocked up all the time.
Governor Shapiro is the fourth Jew to hold the Governorship; and he is the most observant of the four.
I have often wondered why Jews frequently align themselves with leftist liberalism, particularly on matters of sexuality and abortion.
This video is very informative...but if you want to get to the heart of the matter skip to about 20:00:

Better that babies be ripped to pieces than they be adopted.
I do not understand this need to kill babies.
Perhaps it’s time for pro-lifers in Pennsylvania to recognize the nature of the battle they’re fighting, steel themselves, and publicly call on this Shapiro Nazi to have Planned Parenthood kill as many future Democrat voters as possible.
Take a wild guess.
Next time pick a GOP candidate who can win. He brought Oz down too. Not that he was that great himself.
It is beyond me how a state government can selectively used taxpayer money to support abortion, and not alternative solutions. This should not be legal.
I think that means "one" anti-abortion organization. Out of how many, and compare THOSE to the total number of abortion mills...
Dems always blab about Planned Parenthood offers mammograms and women’s health.
Yet cancel support for places that actually DO offer women’s health services.
democrats are a bunch of murderers.
Nazi’s would kill ‘em age 15 on up. Dems just get it done early — kill ‘em before age 0. Concentration camps for the first, planned barenhood and the pill for the later.
“I do not understand this need to kill babies.”
Me, either. And it is WAY beyond just a need. They have a near-religious fervor about killing babies.
Really just as well. Government funding means strings attached.
So much for “choice.”
. . . By taking away one of her choices?
Men throughout PA must be cheering this ruling knowing that they can continue to treat women as vessels for sexual pleasure with no consequences whatsoever.
