In a previous meeting on September 12, 2023, the Worcester City Council decided to delay voting on two ordinances that could censor pregnancy resource centers operating in the city. They wanted a second unbiased opinion on these ordinances but couldn't get it by the September 15, 2023, deadline.

In the past year alone, thousands of women across the state have easily found trustworthy, safe, compassionate and free care at more than 30 Massachusetts pregnancy resource centers (PRCs). Your help is needed this week to OPPOSE a bill designed to censor PRCs and prevent women from even learning about them, let alone finding support within.

Massachusetts Citizens for Life urges pro-life supporters to attend the upcoming Easthampton City Council Meeting on Wednesday, July 5th, at 5:45pm. A critical vote will take place on Ordinance 6-23 that threatens Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRCs) like Bethlehem House.
