Vermont, a state that recently voted<\/a> to enshrine the killing of human beings in the womb as a state right, is now looking to pass<\/a>\u00a0a law to protect kangaroos in Australia and another to regulate pro-life pregnancy centers.<\/p>\n

State Rep. Conor Casey (D-Montpelier) has introduced\u00a0H. 459<\/a>, aimed at preventing Nike and other athletic shoe companies from sourcing kangaroos skins for soccer cleats. It is estimated that 70%\u00a0 of all skins from kangaroos are bought by athletic shoe companies to manufacture \u2018k-leather\u2019 soccer cleats. It is also believed that other pro-abortion states, including Connecticut, New Jersey, and Oregon will introduce similar bills.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the innovations in design and fabrics, there\u2019s absolutely no reason for Nike and Adidas to continue sourcing kangaroo skins from animals killed in their native habitats,\u201d said Casey. \u201cI was staggered to hear that 2 million kangaroos are killed a year, including half a million of the juveniles, mainly for use as soccer cleats. These companies can do better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clearly, there is nothing wrong about seeking to stop the use of kangaroo skin in soccer cleats. It is driven by compassion from those concerned about the 500,000 joeys being orphaned as their mothers are killed for their skins \u2014 to make cleats. However, the pro-life concern is that the same compassion bestowed on these vulnerable animals and their babies is not extended<\/em> to vulnerable human beings and their human babies.<\/p>\n

Pro-abortion Vermont legislators fought to ensure that abortion is a right throughout pregnancy and now they are trying to take down the pregnancy resource centers that assist the women who don’t<\/em> choose abortion.<\/p>\n

S. 37<\/a> is a bill that, among other things, aims to “establish a new unfair and deceptive act regarding pregnancy centers.” It defines “pregnancy service centers” as facilities that have “the appearance of a medical facility” if two or more factors exist, such as offering pregnancy testing or diagnosis, having staff or volunteers that wear medical attire or uniforms, contains one or more exam tables, contains a private or semi-private room or area containing medical supplies or instruments, has staff or volunteers who collect health information from clients, is located on the same premises as a medical facility or share facility space with a medical provider.<\/p>\n

The bill accuses pregnancy centers of misleading the public about their services through false advertising. It would give the Attorney General or State’s Attorney the power to make rules, conduct civil investigations, and bring civil actions against pregnancy centers for whatever the law determines to be deceptive advertising.<\/p>\n

According to VT Digger<\/a>, there are at least seven pregnancy centers in Vermont. Pregnancy centers are private facilities that exist to help women who want to keep their babies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re not deceiving women. They’re very clear,\u201d said\u00a0Mary Beerworth, executive director of Vermont Right to Life. \u201cHow do you trick a woman into carrying a baby to term? That’s what they say: \u2018They’re tricking them into it.\u2019 How is that? You’re just saying, \u2018Let’s do an ultrasound.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
