Rochester, New York is reportedly passing American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) COVID relief funds to different organizations in the city that work "to prevent violent crimes" among youth. As Jim Harden of CompassCare Pregnancy Services tells AFN, that apparently includes the local Planned Parenthood.
So in addition to the state and local funds and the half-billion dollars it already receives in taxpayer money from the federal government alone, the corporation is set to receive a quarter-million dollars as part of the city's Peace Collective.
"Abortion is the greatest violence one can engage against a child," Harden submits. "For Planned Parenthood to receive ARPA funds to reduce violence in the city population among the youth is absolutely ridiculous, certainly ironic. It's the height of irony -- anti-violence money going to one of the most violent organizations on earth."
He recalls Live Action's undercover videos revealing that Planned Parenthood provides abortions to underage girls without their parents' knowledge or consent.
Locals and other groups recently gathered in front of Rochester's city hall to protest the decision, pointing out, among other things, that Planned Parenthood was founded on eugenic, racist ideas and has even recently been accused by its own former employees of systemic racism and white supremacy.
"These pro-abortion politicians are promoting the abortion industry," Harden asserts. "They are protecting the abortion industry, and they're paying for the abortion industry through taxpayer money. All the while, they're attacking the abortion industry's only competition: Pro-life pregnancy centers."
Meanwhile, abortion-touting terrorists have vandalized and otherwise damaged well over 100 pregnancy care centers and pro-life churches nationwide this year alone. Harden's own CompassCare facility in Buffalo, NY was firebombed six months ago. Though the FBI claims to be investigating the incident, no arrests have been made for the attack against his clinic or any of the others.
