News - Pro-Life Concerns Over NYC's Incoming Mayor Mamdani

New York City's political landscape is set for significant scrutiny as Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, known for his democratic socialist stance, prepares to assume office. His approach to crisis pregnancy centers has raised alarms among pro-life advocates. Rev. Jim Harden, CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services, highlighted Mamdani's campaign against pro-life centers, citing his commitment to enforce Local Law 17, designed to regulate these organizations under claims of fraud and deception. This has left many questioning Mamdani's real intentions once in power, especially since his campaign promises included bolstering the Abortion Access Hub with an additional $2 million for aiding city and out-of-state residents. Rev. Harden argues that such moves are politically charged, targeting institutions with a religious foundation at odds with Marxist ideologies, which he believes underpin such political strategies. Legal strategies are already being devised by groups like the Thomas More Society to counter any restrictive measures Mamdani's administration might pursue.
