The letter, which is eight pages long, was published online to defend Yelp, the popular business review website. Yelp also leans left and is accused of supporting abortion by unfairly disparaging pro-life pregnancy centers in its description of them, and for that it is currently being sued by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
In response to Paxton’s lawsuit, the letter was signed by attorneys general representing California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia, according to a LifeNews.com article.
Andrea Trudden of Heartbeat International says the open letter signed by the Democrat politicians spews the “same old lies,” now decades old, about crisis pregnancy centers. One frequent accusation is that the pro-life centers do not use trained medical staff. A second claim is the centers hide their pro-life beliefs from women in an effort to deceive them.
“We literally have a web site titled Pregnancy Center Truth.com that dispels many of their claims within,” Trudden tells AFN.
Trudden and Heartbeat International are indirectly involved in the letter, too. California Attorney General Rob Bonta led the effort to publish the letter and he is also suing Heartbeat International as well as RealOptions, a chain of pregnancy centers located in California.
The website for RealOptions states it provides a long list of medical services, from breast exams to cervical cancer screenings, and is licensed by the California Department of Health.
