NY Attorney General Tries to Downplay Hype Around Pregnancy Center Inquiry.(Brief Article)
The New York attorney general's office is seeking to extinguish a firestorm sparked by an investigation into 24 crisis pregnancy centers statewide.
Beginning January 4, Eliot Spitzer's office began issuing subpoenas to several New York City crisis pregnancy centers, which have been in existence since the early 1980s, offering women a variety of options to deal with their unwanted pregnancies, options other than abortion.
Spitzer's spokesman, Darren Dopp, said that allegations that the attorney general's investigation is trying to intimidate or close down the pregnancy centers are simply untrue. What Spitzer is trying to do, Dopp said, is to ensure the centers are following proper protocol in their advertising and services.
"We are definitely not seeking to close down any facility," the spokesman said. "Should we find a problem we would work with the facilities to bring them into compliance."
"Just as our previous attorneys general, we would see if this is a problem, and bring them into compliance ourselves, but if need be, we will accomplish this through a court order," he said.
Dopp also said the attorney general's office appreciates the work the centers do, but Spitzer is obligated to look into the allegations made against the centers.
"We are aware that the facility does provide services that many people view as valuable," the spokesman said. "And we think it is valuable, too."
