Canada Pregnancy Center Settles Lawsuit

Ottawa, Canada (LifeNews.com) -- A Canadian pregnancy center that came under attack from Planned Parenthood after the wives of the Ottawa Senators hockey team designated it as a charity recipient has settled a lawsuit it filed against the abortion business. The suit came after Planned Parenthood attacked First Place Pregnancy Centre. The hockey players' wives formed a charitable group called "The Better Halves" and named the pregnancy center as one of three groups to receive proceeds from a raffle of players' items and memorabilia. Planned Parenthood officials objected to the group that helps pregnant women and publicly attacked First Place with claims that it misleads women. The center voluntarily withdrew from the fundraiser -- forfeiting $25,000 -- but filed a claim against Planned Parenthood Ottawa and two of its representatives before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in May. First Place alleged Planned Parenthood Ottawa interfered with critical funding and defamed their charity putting the charity and the women they serve at risk. The two sides have reportedly settled the lawsuit out of court, according to a joint press release.
