Joanie found out she was pregnant and panicked. “I need to get an abortion, NOW,” she thought to herself as she searched for a local abortionist online. Joanie made an appointment with Freedom of Choice for the following week. Joanie forgot to write down the time of her abortion and needed to call to confirm.
The first abortion clinic closes in Rochester! Hopefully more to come. The long-standing Freedom of Choice office closed at the end of 2018 and demand for CompassCare’s services is up 34% over the previous January.

The Reproductive Health Act (RHA) is now law, making abortion a fundamental right and deregulating it through all nine months of pregnancy. Why did the NY legislature do this?

Jovanda is a mom of a one-year-old who discovered she was pregnant. Overwhelmed by the idea of having to take care of two children, she began to seriously consider abortion.

The 2019 New York legislature is promising to be the most pro-abortion in U.S. history. They plan to pit the fabricated right of abortion (see Reproductive Health Act) against the foundational human right of religion, practiced by pro-life people who want to help women have their babies (see Pregnancy Center Investigation Bill).

Sofia, a young, working mother of a two year old, came to CompassCare, clearly apprehensive. She nervously unfolded her story to her nurse. How she and her longtime boyfriend have a child together but recently have been “drifting apart.” How she is pregnant and unsure who the father is. And how that is why she
New York is launching a major assault on all pro-life positions, including ethical medical professionals, pregnant women, and Pregnancy Resource Centers.
