The CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services, Rev. Jim Harden, has warned that legal action may soon threaten the operation of pro-life clinics in New York City. He claims that Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani may attempt to restrict access to reproductive healthcare, describing the potential measures as an effort to ‘rob’ women of their rights. This statement comes as the city faces increasing political tension over reproductive rights, with pro-life advocates pushing back against what they see as an overreach by city officials.
Rev. Harden’s comments suggest that the city may be on the brink of a significant legal battle over healthcare access. He is not the only pro-life leader raising concerns about the implications of Mamdani’s potential policies. Other advocates have expressed fears that the city could take steps to limit or even shut down pro-life clinics, citing what they perceive as an aggressive campaign against reproductive rights. The situation is expected to intensify as the political landscape in New York continues to shift.
