Elizabeth Warren in June one day before the Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/24\/justice-at-last-supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">struck down<\/a> <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>\u2018s removal of abortion decisions from states. A draft of the decision in <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em> had been leaked to Politico in early May.<\/p>\n<p>In Warren\u2019s words, the bill aims to \u201ccrack down on so-called \u2018crisis pregnancy centers\u2019 that mislead women about reproductive health care.\u201d An honest examination of such maternal care centers, however, reveals no such campaign of deception. <\/p>\n<p>Crisis pregnancy centers exist to offer poor women the material, emotional, and spiritual support to move forward with having a baby instead of an abortion. Corporatized pro-abortion activists have spent millions lobbying Congress to shut down the charity organizations, which cut into the abortion industry\u2019s lucrative profits. <\/p>\n<p>Pregnancy centers, which have suffered a wave of domestic <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/17\/a-month-and-a-half-after-dobbs-leak-fbi-says-they-will-investigate-attacks-on-pro-life-groups-pregnancy-centers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">terrorism <\/a>after the Supreme Court\u2019s reversal of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, also draw the ire of Democrats because they offer women safe alternatives to the painful and deadly procedure. <\/p>\n<p>The Stop Anti-Abortion Discrimination Act commissions the executive branch to target crisis centers with massive fines and penalties for not encouraging women to terminate their pregnancies. Cortez Masto is now the bill\u2019s latest co-sponsor. She faces a competitive race for a second term against former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, a Republican.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the violent attacks targeting crisis pregnancy centers, [Cortez Masto] is spending her time spreading lies and demonizing these charities,\u201d Laxalt <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamLaxalt\/status\/1568311597218803713?s=20&amp;t=eG9peQ9Gy_juB6oDmPthAg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote <\/a>in a response to his opponent\u2019s Twitter post. \u201cI\u2019m proud to stand with women who give vulnerable and poor mothers support and the ability to choose life.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n<p>In contrast, Planned Parenthood is <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/25\/democrats-accuse-crisis-pregnancy-centers-of-manipulating-women-but-thats-planned-parenthood\/\">guilty <\/a>of the very conduct leftist lawmakers claim justifies an assault on crisis pregnancy centers. The nation\u2019s pre-eminent abortion provider falsely tells women their pre-born babies are \u201cclumps of cells\u201d but refuses to allow these women to review their ultrasounds. The taxpayer-funded group has also been found breaking laws related to human trafficking and statutory rape. In 2015, the group was at the center of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/what-we-do\/investigations\/sexual-abuse-cover-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">investigation <\/a>for its involvement with the sale of human remains. <\/p>\n<p>Since the Supreme Court\u2019s <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> reversal, the Democratic Party has hardened its support for abortion to unlimited access on demand, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/house-committee-witness-men-get-pregnant-have-abortions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">even for men<\/a>. In May, days after the <em>Dobbs<\/em> leak, 47 Senate Democrats voted for the failed \u201cWomen\u2019s Health Protection Act\u201d requiring abortions be made available up until birth, including late-term procedures. In September last year, all but one House Democrat voted to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/09\/27\/all-house-democrats-but-one-vote-for-ghastly-abortion-bill\/\">pass <\/a>a similar version of the bill in the lower chamber. <\/p>\n<p>The leftward lurch is a sharp break from where Americans stand on the issue according to a series of polls conducted in the aftermath of the <em>Roe <\/em>decision\u2019s leak from early May. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/abortion-opinion-poll-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According <\/a>to a May poll from CBS, only 17 percent of Americans believe women should be able to have an abortion at any point in their pregnancy. The Pew Research Center <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/religion\/2022\/05\/06\/americas-abortion-quandary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">found <\/a>that same month just 19 percent of Americans believe abortion should be legal in every case. In June, a Harris\/Harvard poll <a href=\"https:\/\/harvardharrispoll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/HHP_June2022_KeyResults.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">found <\/a>support for unrestricted access even lower, at one in ten Americans believing abortion should be allowed at any point over nine months of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>The latest polling in the Nevada Senate race shows Cortez Masto maintaining a narrow lead within the margin of error of the major polls conducted. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/senate\/Nevada.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According <\/a>to RealClearPolitics\u2019 latest aggregate of surveys, Cortez Masto is ahead by 1.7 percent just two months before election day.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist.
