MCCL statement on Ellison's 'consumer alert' on pregnancy care centers

MINNEAPOLIS — MCCL Executive Director Scott Fischbach issued the following statement in response to Attorney General Ellison's decision today to issue a "consumer alert" warning about pregnancy care centers in Minnesota:

"Keith Ellison is acting like an advocate for the abortion industry, not for Minnesota women. Pregnancy care centers provide practical help and alternatives to abortion so that women don't feel like abortion is the only option. Relying on a 'report' produced by abortion advocacy groups, the attorney general is targeting these compassionate centers with misleading criticism while showing absolutely no concern about Minnesota's abortion facilities, which are not licensed or inspected by the state. Ellison's pro-abortion bias is on full display."
