Coign, a credit card company with conservative values, has donated more than $15,000 to a crisis pregnancy center in Washington, D.C., that pro-abortion vandals targeted after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. The pregnancy center was vandalized in June 2022, with red paint splashed on the front door and the words “Jane’s Revenge” graffitied on the wall.
Cassie Smedile, the vice president of Coign, told “The Daily Wire” that the donation was part of the company’s mission to change corporate culture dominated by the left.
“Coign is harnessing the power of raw American commerce to not only force corporations to respect conservatives’ views and values, but to also be a force for good in the process,” she said.
Coign donates portions of its transaction fees to conservative organizations chosen each quarter by cardholders. Smedile said the donation to Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center “will allow them to dedicate more resources to moms and dads navigating unplanned pregnancies.”
During the check presentation, pregnancy center director Janet Durig said she felt violated after the facility was vandalized. She said the center had helped patients as young as 11 and 12 with pregnancy tests.
“Where else would she have gone?” she said, speaking of a 12-year-old who was pregnant. “Where did her mother feel safe to bring her? And so I felt violated for all the people that we’ve helped and we continue to help. And the fact that when the public was hating us and misjudging us they’re also hating a woman who chooses to keep her baby, and that makes no sense to me.”
Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center is a Christian organization that says it “serves the gospel of Jesus Christ by providing intervention and abortion alternatives for women and men facing crisis pregnancies.” Its services, which include pregnancy testing, childbirth education, parenting classes, maternity and baby clothing, are all free.
