Center Against Forced Abortions
The Justice Foundation’s “Center Against Forced Abortions” or “CAFA”
was created to provide legal resources to mothers who are being forced
or coerced into an unwanted abortion.
Problem
- Many teenage girls are being coerced into abortion by their parents
- Pregnancy resource centers are generally unequipped to help legally
defend these clients, and subsequently coerced abortions occur
- Even under Roe v. Wade, the decision to keep the child is supposedly
the woman’s alone, so theseyoung women’s rights are being violated when
they are coerced into abortion
Response
- The Justice Foundation has created a ”Dear Parent Letter,” which
(in a friendly, helpful, and serious manner) informs the teen mother’s
parents that they could be guilty of illegal actions if they force their
daughter to have an abortion
- Combined with Life Dynamics’s Letter to Abortionists,
which is a signed statement indicating the mother’s non-consent to an
abortion, the two documents form a powerful legal defense that empowers
the teen mother to stand for her child
Effectiveness
- Gives pregnancy centers a proven strategy to defend teens from parentally coerced abortions
- Equips the teen mother with legal documents empowering her decision to keep her child
- Trial distributions indicate the strategy is very effective (testimonies below)
- If just one baby is saved at two out of every three pregnancy
resource centers that receive the letter and training, then CAFA will
facilitate the protection of 2,000 babies lives
The Justice Foundation protects the fundamental freedoms and rights essential to the
preservation of American society. The Foundation represents clients free
of charge in cases in the areas of limited government, free markets, private property, parental school choice, parental rights in education,k and enforcing laws to protect women's health.
