For several years now, the Republican leadership of the North Carolina legislature has appropriated millions of dollars to the state’s network of so-called crisis pregnancy centers. The centers give the impression that they provide healthcare services, but critics argue that they do no such thing. Recently, in an effort to learn more about these groups and what they do with taxpayer dollars, State Rep. Julie von Haefen of Wake County paid a visit to one of the centers and last week, she joined NC Newsline to discuss what she learned, as well as some thoughts that she has on the state of our public education system at the start of the new school year.
