Timothy J. Weber is off base in criticizing the Baltimore City Council's consideration of legislation that would ensure women receive accurate information about the services available at limited service pregnancy centers ("City Council harasses crisis pregnancy centers," Oct. 28).
If limited service pregnancy centers in Baltimore are up front in explaining that they do not offer services or referrals for abortion or birth control, then they have nothing to worry about under this proposed ordinance.
Several women from Baltimore City yesterday voiced concerns they have about the actions of these facilities and why they support the bill. As Council President Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake explained at the hearing, this bill is about truth in advertising. That is something we should all support.

Agreed. It seems like the people with their religious inspired agenda just don't want to tell the truth to the women that come to the clinic. Tell the truth about your services and let the woman make the informed decision whether to accept your services or go somewhere else where she will be given more options to explore.
