AmeriCorps workers helped young women get abortions | TheHill

This is another example of why the United States doesn't need any more right-wingers in control.  The biggest problem in the world is that we humans are having too many unwanted, and unneeded babies.  Americorps (NCCC)  mission is:"To strengthen communities and develop leaders through team-based national and community service". Americorps has paid staff, but uses millions of volunteer hours and millions of dollars of donations.  Americorps includes programs such as Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions, FEMA volunteers, etc.,   So recently in New York Americorps "developing leaders" trying to help young women obtain abortions for babies they probably don't want, can't afford, and wouldn't be capable of raising properly, are in trouble for doing so.  See this article:  AmeriCorps workers helped young women get abortions | TheHill  So, it appears that anyone working or associated with AmeriCorps are "gag ordered" to not talk about abortion to women in need.  Why would people ever volunteer for such an organization?  Why would people now be willing to donate to such an organization?  In effect, the Republican right wing is trying to impose their religious beliefs on anyone working or volunteering for that agency.

Sometime after I registered to vote in California as a Republican when I moved here in the early 1970s, I think the so-called Christian right-wingers hijacked the Republican party's platform and somehow got their position onto the party platform.  I've never understood how the party could rationalize having their so called "pro-life" position, and at the same time be strongly in favor of death penalty, and no limit on ownership, use, or carrying of guns.  Of course they all claim to be followers of Christ.  But Christ would not have supported death penalty, and certainly would not have supported owning or carrying a weapon.
