"content": "\u003cp>Los Angeles is a region better known for Hollywood, but it actually has more manufacturing jobs than any other metro area in the U.S. Of the more than half-million manufacturing jobs in the region, about 50,000 of them are in the garment industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fashion is a big part of L.A.'s identity, and you feel it in the Fashion District downtown. It has changed a lot since the late 1980s, when plain beige towers called California Mart bustled with all things related to the garment industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Weitman grew up around the garment industry and remembers Cal Mart's heyday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was first-generation migrant workers working their butts off all day long on a sewing machine or cutting tables, and these buildings were just humming. And there were racks rolling in and out all day long. These freight elevators, you'd have to wait to just load your garments in them to get them into a truck to get them to ship out to a store,\" Weitman says. \"But everyone wanted to be around here because this was the hub. This was the only showroom center in L.A.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"QNVLCx8OoEhArjc0PqcTlvJDK1xEZ2bm\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, he says, workers could spend all their time here. \"It was amazing energy, and also, inside of this building, you could almost like live in there and never leave except for sleep,\" he says. \"They had a barbershop, dry cleaner, 15 different restaurants you could eat in, a dentist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weitman owns a company that makes the things that go on the inside of a garment — waistbands, pocket lining, shirt collar lining, dress linings. When you reach into your jeans for your keys and rub your hand against the lining of the pocket — there's a chance Weitman's company made that material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But times have changed in the fashion industry here in L.A. Weitman, a board member of the California Fashion Association, says the Cal Mart building \"is probably at 50 percent occupancy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10778136\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10778136\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/johnfpeters_npr_denim-edit_custom-f4984484cff78b466b70ba0b42347528c8985fed-800x966.jpg\" alt='(Top) A worker at Blue Creations prepares a pair of blue jeans for a crinkle effect known as \"3-D whiskers.\" (Bottom) Employees at Blue Creations apply the destruction/distressing process to jeans by sanding, ripping and tearing them on molds.' width=\"800\" height=\"966\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/johnfpeters_npr_denim-edit_custom-f4984484cff78b466b70ba0b42347528c8985fed-800x966.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/johnfpeters_npr_denim-edit_custom-f4984484cff78b466b70ba0b42347528c8985fed-400x483.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/johnfpeters_npr_denim-edit_custom-f4984484cff78b466b70ba0b42347528c8985fed-1440x1739.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/johnfpeters_npr_denim-edit_custom-f4984484cff78b466b70ba0b42347528c8985fed-1920x2319.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/johnfpeters_npr_denim-edit_custom-f4984484cff78b466b70ba0b42347528c8985fed-1180x1425.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/johnfpeters_npr_denim-edit_custom-f4984484cff78b466b70ba0b42347528c8985fed-960x1159.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Top) A worker at Blue Creations prepares a pair of blue jeans for a crinkle effect known as \"3-D whiskers.\" (Bottom) Employees at Blue Creations apply the destruction/distressing process to jeans by sanding, ripping and tearing them on molds. \u003ccite>(John Francis Peters/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The fashion industry here has been bleeding jobs for years. A lot of low-end work has moved overseas. Decades ago, you could work here and raise a family — getting paid per garment — even though it was difficult work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the 1980s, when business was booming, Esperanza Monterrosa came to L.A. from El Salvador. She raised four kids on income she earned sewing pieces at home. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2014/10/30/360019707/la-manufacturing-industry-still-supported-by-garment-workers\">told NPR last year\u003c/a> that her manager would drop off the material to sew, along with diapers for her kids, so that she wouldn't have to leave the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the mid-'90s, the garment industry was changing, and some big factories closed and sent work overseas. Economists say that when factories go overseas, it forces down wages for unskilled work. While the garment industry has helped keep L.A. as a manufacturing city for longer than other American cities, economists agree this industry is not the way of the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One bright spot here has been high-end denim. A lot of $30 jeans are made in Mexico or China, but designer jeans almost always come from L.A. That's because hot trends come and go — and designers can't really send stuff abroad and wait for it to come back. They're still using the talent and expertise here in L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're doing it at places like Blue Creations, a wash house that puts finishing touches on designer jeans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10778213\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10778213\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-800x604.jpg\" alt=\"Raul Quintero (L) and his son Oscar, owners of Blue Creations, at their factory.\" width=\"800\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-800x604.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-400x302.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-1440x1088.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-1180x891.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-960x725.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raul Quintero (L) and his son Oscar, owners of Blue Creations, at their factory. \u003ccite>(John Francis Peters/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>These are serious finishing touches. Designers send their instructions, and employees here cut those perfect designer rips, and they iron and sand. They load jeans into ozone machines to distress them, or they stuff them into massive dryers with a bunch of golf balls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Throw the golf balls in with the jeans, and it tumbles. It softens it up,\" says Oscar Quintero, whose family runs the wash house. With all those cheaper jeans being made overseas, Quintero deals with some fancy designer stuff. Jeans that cost $200 or $300 come through a wash house with really humble roots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quintero's dad, Raul, brought the family to the U.S. from Mexico in the '80s. He worked in this wash house and then bought it in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the beginning, when I take over the company, I [was] doing everything — sales, driving, answer the phone, everything,\" he says. \"I [didn't] have money to bring somebody to help me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raul Quintero mortgaged the house to buy the company. The previous owners were selling, he says, because clients wanted to move production to China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But in that time, I didn't know,\" he says. \"So maybe if I know what happened, maybe I don't take it, I don't know.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he took a risk and is still in the game today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2015 NPR.

It has changed a lot since the late 1980s, when plain beige towers called California Mart bustled with all things related to the garment industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Weitman grew up around the garment industry and remembers Cal Mart's heyday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was first-generation migrant workers working their butts off all day long on a sewing machine or cutting tables, and these buildings were just humming. And there were racks rolling in and out all day long. These freight elevators, you'd have to wait to just load your garments in them to get them into a truck to get them to ship out to a store,\" Weitman says. \"But everyone wanted to be around here because this was the hub. This was the only showroom center in L.A.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, he says, workers could spend all their time here. \"It was amazing energy, and also, inside of this building, you could almost like live in there and never leave except for sleep,\" he says. \"They had a barbershop, dry cleaner, 15 different restaurants you could eat in, a dentist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A lot of low-end work has moved overseas. Decades ago, you could work here and raise a family — getting paid per garment — even though it was difficult work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the 1980s, when business was booming, Esperanza Monterrosa came to L.A. from El Salvador. She raised four kids on income she earned sewing pieces at home. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2014/10/30/360019707/la-manufacturing-industry-still-supported-by-garment-workers\">told NPR last year\u003c/a> that her manager would drop off the material to sew, along with diapers for her kids, so that she wouldn't have to leave the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the mid-'90s, the garment industry was changing, and some big factories closed and sent work overseas. Economists say that when factories go overseas, it forces down wages for unskilled work. While the garment industry has helped keep L.A. as a manufacturing city for longer than other American cities, economists agree this industry is not the way of the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One bright spot here has been high-end denim. A lot of $30 jeans are made in Mexico or China, but designer jeans almost always come from L.A. That's because hot trends come and go — and designers can't really send stuff abroad and wait for it to come back. They're still using the talent and expertise here in L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're doing it at places like Blue Creations, a wash house that puts finishing touches on designer jeans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10778213\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10778213\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-800x604.jpg\" alt=\"Raul Quintero (L) and his son Oscar, owners of Blue Creations, at their factory.\" width=\"800\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-800x604.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-400x302.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-1440x1088.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-1180x891.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/DenimGuys-960x725.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raul Quintero (L) and his son Oscar, owners of Blue Creations, at their factory. \u003ccite>(John Francis Peters/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>These are serious finishing touches. Designers send their instructions, and employees here cut those perfect designer rips, and they iron and sand.

It softens it up,\" says Oscar Quintero, whose family runs the wash house. With all those cheaper jeans being made overseas, Quintero deals with some fancy designer stuff. Jeans that cost $200 or $300 come through a wash house with really humble roots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quintero's dad, Raul, brought the family to the U.S. from Mexico in the '80s. He worked in this wash house and then bought it in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the beginning, when I take over the company, I [was] doing everything — sales, driving, answer the phone, everything,\" he says. \"I [didn't] have money to bring somebody to help me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raul Quintero mortgaged the house to buy the company. The previous owners were selling, he says, because clients wanted to move production to China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But in that time, I didn't know,\" he says. \"So maybe if I know what happened, maybe I don't take it, I don't know.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he took a risk and is still in the game today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2015 NPR.

The newspaper adds:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“They’re among the largest land animals on Earth, second only to elephants. They can run at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour and their horns, tough skin and sheer size mean they have no natural predators. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Civil war, habitat loss and poaching for their valuable horns decimated the rare breed; between 1960 and 2015 the population fell from 2,000 to five.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Attempts at natural breeding have failed, but there are efforts to try to breed another northern white rhino through in vitro fertilization. \u003ca href=\"http://www.livescience.com/51120-race-to-save-northern-white-rhino.html\">According to Live Science\u003c/a>, however, no one has ever successfully conducted the procedure on a rhinoceros.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2014/12/17/371443402/were-down-to-5-northern-white-rhinos-is-it-too-late-for-babies\">NPR’s Gregory Warner reported last year\u003c/a>, there have been examples of epic comebacks in the rhino community. At one point, the southern white rhino was on the verge of extinction:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“At the turn of the 20th century, southern white rhinos had been hunted down to a mere 20 animals. The last of the southerns were collected, protected and bred. Now they number more than 14,000.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why does the outcome for northern white rhinos appear headed in the opposite direction? Warner explains:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The southern white rhino attempts began when the animals were younger. They were also wilder. One hundred years ago, when those 20 last southern white rhinos were collected and bred, they were taken straight from the savanna, not from a zoo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps what enabled them to breed is that little bit of wildness that never left them.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

They say prosecutors are too deferential to police, and overly aggressive use of force routinely gets a pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Growing Efforts To Collect Statistics\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Missing from this debate are good numbers. The federal government has tried — and failed — to get police agencies to report details about the use of deadly force. FBI Director James Comey often complains about how little data Americans have to work with, when debating policing and race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even some police organizations say it's a problem; they say the current national discussion relies too much on anecdotes and high-profile incidents caught on video, and they say better statistics would create a more sympathetic view of how police use force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government isn't about to require police agencies to start reporting these numbers, but it is experimenting with the next best thing. The Bureau of Justice Statistics has a pilot program to gather detailed information about \"arrest-related deaths\" in America — and they're going to use \"open-source data\" as a basis for their statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, they'll draw on information that media organizations such as KPCC are collecting on police shootings. Equipped with these numbers, the BJS will then ask police agencies directly for more information on the cases that have been identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 Southern California Public Radio.

The center \u003ca href=\"http://www.ecpcc.org/FlexPaper_1.4.0_flash/ltli.pdf\">describes itself\u003c/a> as \"a religious, nonprofit, pro-life, free medical clinic licensed by the State of California.\" It sits on the corner of a busy intersection, surrounded by strip malls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big sign out front says \"free pregnancy tests.\" That's one way they get women in the door, according to executive director Josh McClure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure is not a physician, though the clinic does have medical advisers who are doctors, he says. When we recently visited, he didn't permit NPR to talk to the staff at the clinic, who are all either registered nurses or volunteers. But he did offer to show us around, and walk us through the process of what happens to clients who come to the clinic thinking they may be pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of these women make appointments, he says, but the clinic also receives one or two walk-ins a day. The staff sees about 800 women a year, and that number is on the rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746419\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746419\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CrisisClinic-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"Roughly 800 women a year seek a free pregnancy test, counseling and other services at this center in El Cajon, Calif.

The clinic encourages its clients to not get abortions, but a new law requires it to also prominently post information about where to find abortion services. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>First, clients fill out paperwork in the lobby, he explains, then are assigned to a volunteer that he describes as an \"advocate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These volunteer advocates, who are not medical professionals, take the client into a small room called the library. There the volunteer leads the client through a conversation about her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure says his volunteer will ask the client a series of questions to get at these issues: \"Why do they think they're pregnant? [Are] they living with somebody? Is it a husband, boyfriend? What are the circumstances going on in their life? And if the pregnancy does happen to be positive, what are they thinking about right then?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library has two shelves with books like \"What To Expect When You're Expecting,\" anatomy models that show the size of the fetus at four weeks gestation, eight weeks, and so on; and VHS tapes about abortion and abortion providers. McClure says the tapes are from the 1970s and are hardly ever used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a client speaks with the advocate and reviews the pamphlets, she is taken to an exam room to take a pregnancy test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"M4rOaJozAw7Lo3CWjUDiCwq31cHpMXLu\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exam room looks like any medical examining room, with clean linoleum floors, health pamphlets and a box of rubber gloves on the counter. In the center of the room is an exam table with a sheet of white tissue paper laid out over it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where a registered nurse would hand the patient a specimen cup to get a urine sample and do a pregnancy test, McClure says. It's the same test you might buy at a drugstore, he says, but here it's free, funded by donations. The RN signs off on the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the pregnancy test is positive, the nurse tells the client there are three options: parenting, adoption or abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to talk about the benefits, responsibilities and side effects of all three,\" McClure says. \"We would say, if it's an unplanned pregnancy, there really aren't any good solutions. They're all hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the discussion of parenting, the nurse talks about the responsibility of an 18-year commitment to another human life, and the resources in the client's life that may be helpful. The nurse asks whether the boyfriend or husband would be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In discussing adoption, the clinic goes over several different options: familial adoption to a family member, local or national adoptions and open or closed adoption. McClure says the clinic works with several adoption agencies and will refer clients to the one that best suits her preferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do let them know, that if there's drug abuse, the reality is if you're not going to straighten your life out by the time the baby is here, that [Child Protective Services] would be coming to take that child,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to abortion, the nurses do not tell clients where they can get an abortion or refer them to abortion providers, McClure told us. But they will talk about the clinic's view of the risks of an abortion and the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally,\" McClure says, \"the further along you go, the more expensive and more invasive and more risks there are. Risk of sterility is one. Perforated uterus is another. And then, of course, emotional side effects as well. All the information we're giving about the side effects is backed by research and referenced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure didn't mention during our tour that at least some claims in that pamphlet used to train the clinic's nurses and volunteers are disputed by leading research organizations. For example, the suggestion that there might be a link between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer has been studied and eventually dismissed by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/abortion-miscarriage-risk\">National Cancer Institute\u003c/a> and other medical groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clinic's pamphlet also states that abortion \"significantly increases the risk\" for conditions such as \"clinical depression and anxiety\" and \"suicidal thoughts and behavior.\" But an American Psychological Association task force on mental health and abortion had a different take in its recent review, recognizing that \"abortion encompasses a diversity of experiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the APA's \u003ca href=\"http://www.apa.org/pi/women/programs/abortion/\">task force report\u003c/a> in 2008, \"the best scientific evidence published indicates that, among adult women who have an unplanned pregnancy, the relative risk of mental health problems is no greater if they have a single, elective first-trimester abortion than if they deliver that pregnancy. The evidence regarding the relative mental health risks associated with multiple abortions is more equivocal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a pregnant woman at McClure's clinic has been briefed by the staff on how their organization views the risks of abortion, she is brought to a room where she can get an ultrasound scan, free of cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746427\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746427\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"In its "care closet," the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1440x1079.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-960x719.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In its 'care closet,' the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There, McClure tells us, the ultrasound image is enlarged and projected onto a big flat-screen TV. Women often decide against abortion, he says, after they see the ultrasound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you have an image on a screen, all the cloudiness of what we're talking about kind of goes away,\" McClure says. \"They're able to see for themselves: OK, arms, legs, eyes, head. Bingo — that's a baby.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last stop is a closet full of diapers, wipes, baby clothes, blankets and maternity clothes — all available for free to clients who have trouble affording those things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the end of the tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of these things — no step in that process — would have to change under the Reproductive FACT Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the law requires centers like the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic to post a sign in the lobby that says, in \u003ca href=\"http://www-archive.mozilla.org/newlayout/testcases/css/sec526pt2.htm\">22-point type\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>California has public programs that provide immediate free or low-cost access to comprehensive family planning services (including all FDA-approved methods of contraception), prenatal care, and abortion for eligible women. To determine whether you qualify, contact the county social services office at [insert the telephone number].\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>If the center is not a licensed medical clinic, the sign would state:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This facility is not licensed as a medical facility by the State of California and has no licensed medical provider who provides or directly supervises the provision of services.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>McClure says a sign in the lobby is not how or when he wants his clients at the clinic to hear about abortion. It goes against everything his center stands for, he tells NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the people responsible for the law requiring this new sign is \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a62/\">Autumn Burke\u003c/a>, who represents Inglewood in the California Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke tells NPR that her interest in the issue started the day she went to get her phone fixed at a shop near a clinic that performs abortions. Protesters outside the clinic gave her pamphlets, she says, making claims that she knew weren't true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It [said] that abortion causes breast cancer,\" Burke recalls, \"that if you are on birth control boys will not like you, or they will take advantage of you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days later, one of Burke's colleagues in the California Assembly asked her to co-sponsor the Reproductive FACT Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I thought, 'You know what? This is timely,' \" Burke says. \"Making sure women have the correct information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of health and medical groups, including the regional district of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the California Nurses Association and the Primary Care Association, also \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB775\">supported the legislation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke acknowledges that some crisis pregnancy centers do give good help to women who want to have babies. But she says that others give false information to women or pose as clinics, even though they don't have a medical license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke says the law is for those bad actors, and that putting up this sign in these centers wouldn't be much different than a notice from the health department or the building inspector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like a 'Wash Your Hands' sign on the wall,\" says Burke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificjustice.org/brad-dacus---president.html\">Brad Dacus\u003c/a> of the Pacific Justice Institute, one of the groups suing the state of California over the new law, could not disagree more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like telling the Alcoholics Anonymous group that they have to have a large sign saying where people can get alcohol and booze for free,\" Dacus says. \"It's like telling a Jewish synagogue that they can have their service, and do their thing, but they have to have a large sign where people can go to pray to receive Jesus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dacus's organization has \u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/suits-filed-to-stop-state-compelled-speech\">filed a challenge\u003c/a> to the law in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some U.S. cities, including Austin, Texas, Baltimore and San Francisco, have passed similar legislation and have faced similar legal challenges — with mixed results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California so far is the largest jurisdiction in the country to pass a law requiring these centers to inform women about the availability of abortion services. If the law holds up, it could make way for measures like it in other cities and states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brad Dacus says that if the case has to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop the law, so be it. To him, the legal battle is all about upholding the right to religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people are not allowed to carry out their faith, and act and actually exercise their faith — not just have their private beliefs, but actually exercise their faith — then we really don't have religious freedom,\" Dacus says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits against the Reproductive FACT Act are now making their way through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristin Ford, representing the office of California Attorney General Kamala Harris, says, \"We will vigorously defend the state law in court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

There the volunteer leads the client through a conversation about her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure says his volunteer will ask the client a series of questions to get at these issues: \"Why do they think they're pregnant? [Are] they living with somebody? Is it a husband, boyfriend? What are the circumstances going on in their life? And if the pregnancy does happen to be positive, what are they thinking about right then?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library has two shelves with books like \"What To Expect When You're Expecting,\" anatomy models that show the size of the fetus at four weeks gestation, eight weeks, and so on; and VHS tapes about abortion and abortion providers. McClure says the tapes are from the 1970s and are hardly ever used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a client speaks with the advocate and reviews the pamphlets, she is taken to an exam room to take a pregnancy test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exam room looks like any medical examining room, with clean linoleum floors, health pamphlets and a box of rubber gloves on the counter. In the center of the room is an exam table with a sheet of white tissue paper laid out over it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where a registered nurse would hand the patient a specimen cup to get a urine sample and do a pregnancy test, McClure says. It's the same test you might buy at a drugstore, he says, but here it's free, funded by donations. The RN signs off on the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the pregnancy test is positive, the nurse tells the client there are three options: parenting, adoption or abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to talk about the benefits, responsibilities and side effects of all three,\" McClure says. \"We would say, if it's an unplanned pregnancy, there really aren't any good solutions. They're all hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the discussion of parenting, the nurse talks about the responsibility of an 18-year commitment to another human life, and the resources in the client's life that may be helpful. The nurse asks whether the boyfriend or husband would be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In discussing adoption, the clinic goes over several different options: familial adoption to a family member, local or national adoptions and open or closed adoption. McClure says the clinic works with several adoption agencies and will refer clients to the one that best suits her preferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do let them know, that if there's drug abuse, the reality is if you're not going to straighten your life out by the time the baby is here, that [Child Protective Services] would be coming to take that child,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to abortion, the nurses do not tell clients where they can get an abortion or refer them to abortion providers, McClure told us. But they will talk about the clinic's view of the risks of an abortion and the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally,\" McClure says, \"the further along you go, the more expensive and more invasive and more risks there are. Risk of sterility is one. Perforated uterus is another. And then, of course, emotional side effects as well. All the information we're giving about the side effects is backed by research and referenced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure didn't mention during our tour that at least some claims in that pamphlet used to train the clinic's nurses and volunteers are disputed by leading research organizations. For example, the suggestion that there might be a link between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer has been studied and eventually dismissed by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/abortion-miscarriage-risk\">National Cancer Institute\u003c/a> and other medical groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clinic's pamphlet also states that abortion \"significantly increases the risk\" for conditions such as \"clinical depression and anxiety\" and \"suicidal thoughts and behavior.\" But an American Psychological Association task force on mental health and abortion had a different take in its recent review, recognizing that \"abortion encompasses a diversity of experiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the APA's \u003ca href=\"http://www.apa.org/pi/women/programs/abortion/\">task force report\u003c/a> in 2008, \"the best scientific evidence published indicates that, among adult women who have an unplanned pregnancy, the relative risk of mental health problems is no greater if they have a single, elective first-trimester abortion than if they deliver that pregnancy. The evidence regarding the relative mental health risks associated with multiple abortions is more equivocal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a pregnant woman at McClure's clinic has been briefed by the staff on how their organization views the risks of abortion, she is brought to a room where she can get an ultrasound scan, free of cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746427\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746427\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"In its "care closet," the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1440x1079.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-960x719.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In its 'care closet,' the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There, McClure tells us, the ultrasound image is enlarged and projected onto a big flat-screen TV.

It goes against everything his center stands for, he tells NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the people responsible for the law requiring this new sign is \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a62/\">Autumn Burke\u003c/a>, who represents Inglewood in the California Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke tells NPR that her interest in the issue started the day she went to get her phone fixed at a shop near a clinic that performs abortions. Protesters outside the clinic gave her pamphlets, she says, making claims that she knew weren't true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It [said] that abortion causes breast cancer,\" Burke recalls, \"that if you are on birth control boys will not like you, or they will take advantage of you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days later, one of Burke's colleagues in the California Assembly asked her to co-sponsor the Reproductive FACT Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I thought, 'You know what? This is timely,' \" Burke says. \"Making sure women have the correct information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of health and medical groups, including the regional district of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the California Nurses Association and the Primary Care Association, also \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB775\">supported the legislation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke acknowledges that some crisis pregnancy centers do give good help to women who want to have babies. But she says that others give false information to women or pose as clinics, even though they don't have a medical license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke says the law is for those bad actors, and that putting up this sign in these centers wouldn't be much different than a notice from the health department or the building inspector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like a 'Wash Your Hands' sign on the wall,\" says Burke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificjustice.org/brad-dacus---president.html\">Brad Dacus\u003c/a> of the Pacific Justice Institute, one of the groups suing the state of California over the new law, could not disagree more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like telling the Alcoholics Anonymous group that they have to have a large sign saying where people can get alcohol and booze for free,\" Dacus says. \"It's like telling a Jewish synagogue that they can have their service, and do their thing, but they have to have a large sign where people can go to pray to receive Jesus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dacus's organization has \u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/suits-filed-to-stop-state-compelled-speech\">filed a challenge\u003c/a> to the law in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some U.S. cities, including Austin, Texas, Baltimore and San Francisco, have passed similar legislation and have faced similar legal challenges — with mixed results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California so far is the largest jurisdiction in the country to pass a law requiring these centers to inform women about the availability of abortion services. If the law holds up, it could make way for measures like it in other cities and states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brad Dacus says that if the case has to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop the law, so be it. To him, the legal battle is all about upholding the right to religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people are not allowed to carry out their faith, and act and actually exercise their faith — not just have their private beliefs, but actually exercise their faith — then we really don't have religious freedom,\" Dacus says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits against the Reproductive FACT Act are now making their way through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Al-Qaida's arm in Syria, a group called Jabat al-Nusra, has just deployed a new weapon -- a young British convert named Lucas Kinney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kinney, 26, is making videos for the group and he's no stranger to filmmaking. His father is Patrick Kinney, a well-known Hollywood assistant director who worked on such iconic films as \"Rambo,\" \"Braveheart\" and the \"Indiana Jones\" series, among others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The younger Kinney began appearing in slickly produced videos this month in a bid to help the al-Qaida affiliate recruit fighters to its cause. Among the things that set these latest productions apart is that Kinney's focus is not on America, but rather on the sins of the Islamic State, or ISIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can see here behind me the remnants of homes of innocent Muslims,\" he begins in a video he says was shot in the Syrian countryside outside Aleppo, where an attack by the Islamic State, or ISIS, had just taken place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The followers of the so-called Islamic State decided that in the middle of Ramadan that the best worship they could perform is to bomb the houses of innocent Muslims,\" he says, calling on others to strike back at the Islamic State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Glad tidings to those who kill them. Tomorrow if you don't stand up this could be your house,\" he says, as the camera pulls back to show the destruction behind him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rival Islamist Groups\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jabat al-Nusra, the group that claims to have produced the videos, is an al-Qaida-affiliated group in Syria whose avowed goal is to topple the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Islamic State is more focused on its self-declared caliphate, and has been less active in battling Assad's regime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For that reason, some insurgents in Syria see al-Nusra as preferable to ISIS. Kinney and al-Nusra are trying to play upon those sentiments. Their strategy appears to be to release a series of on-the-ground videos that provide documentary proof of the many innocents ISIS is killing as it seeks to create a Muslim homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Islamic State has made clear that anyone who doesn't subscribe to its extreme interpretation of Islam is fair game and can be marked for death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the videos, Kinney is presented more like a documentarian touring a war zone than an al-Qaida propagandist trolling for recruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the new videos, Kinney travels to a mosque he says is in the countryside outside of Aleppo, in northwest Syria. This is where the Islamic State is now clashing with Syrian regime forces. The mosque, Kinney says, was the target of an ISIS suicide attack. As the camera pans the room, you can hear people sweeping up glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the scene now,\" Kinney says, speaking into the camera and pointing to the blood on the floor. \"Looking at all of this you can only imagine how it might have been, with I don't know how many brothers were sitting here ... Actually just from the force of the explosion here, a number of the brothers were sent flying out of this window.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A New Type Of Video\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The videos are a departure for al-Nusra, which has never been known for its presence on social media or slick propaganda. It isn't just the video's sense of immediacy, or the fact that they are in English that set them apart from al-Nusra offerings in the past. Instead, it is the videos' cinematic quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the way the video was shot, I kept thinking of 'Homeland,' \u003cem>\" \u003c/em>says Will McCants, director of the project on U.S. relations with the Islamic World at the Brookings Institution. \"The way that they presented his name or the location with computer type you'd see in Hollywood, for example, was quite striking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kinney isn't the first Westerner to emerge as the front man for a violent Islamist organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida's core leadership put a former heavy metal enthusiast from California named Adam Gadahn in charge of their Western propaganda efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group's arm in Somalia, known as al-Shabab, made a young Alabama man named Omar Hammami its Western recruiter. He produced a series of jihadi rap music videos that were considered very effective in convincing Westerners to come to Somalia to fight there. And now al-Nusra appears to have chosen Kinney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCants, who has just published a book about ISIS, says Kinney's video was very effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a viewer, to see him go into the mosque and react to the aftermath, it really underscored the message that he was delivering,\" he said. \"The Islamic State is not doing what it is supposed to do, which is protect normal Sunni civilians. It is killing them, and that is a key part of al-Nusra's anti-ISIS message.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Unclear Motivations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why Kinney decided to join al-Nusra is still a mystery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His mother, who has been divorced from his father for more than a decade, told reporters that her son had wanted, at one time, to be a Catholic priest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had gone to live with his father in Vienna, she said, and she believes he was radicalized there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kinney's father has not spoken publicly about his son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever drove Kinney to Syria and into the arms of al-Nusra, he's now emerged as the first white convert to join the ranks of the group and he appears to be trying to convince other potential recruits that, compared with ISIS, al-Qaeda is relatively moderate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honestly, between the two groups ISIS has had much more fortune recruiting people, and Jabat al-Nusra is trying to reverse that process,\" said Lorenzo Vidino, the director of the program on extremism at George Washington University. \"ISIS has attracted tens of thousands of foreign fighters and al-Nusra is trying to offer an alternative.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is too early to tell how effective the new Kinney videos will be. ISIS followers, who tweet thousands of messages a day, have dismissed him on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2015 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.\u003c/p>\n\n",

His father is Patrick Kinney, a well-known Hollywood assistant director who worked on such iconic films as \"Rambo,\" \"Braveheart\" and the \"Indiana Jones\" series, among others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The younger Kinney began appearing in slickly produced videos this month in a bid to help the al-Qaida affiliate recruit fighters to its cause. Among the things that set these latest productions apart is that Kinney's focus is not on America, but rather on the sins of the Islamic State, or ISIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can see here behind me the remnants of homes of innocent Muslims,\" he begins in a video he says was shot in the Syrian countryside outside Aleppo, where an attack by the Islamic State, or ISIS, had just taken place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The followers of the so-called Islamic State decided that in the middle of Ramadan that the best worship they could perform is to bomb the houses of innocent Muslims,\" he says, calling on others to strike back at the Islamic State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tomorrow if you don't stand up this could be your house,\" he says, as the camera pulls back to show the destruction behind him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rival Islamist Groups\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jabat al-Nusra, the group that claims to have produced the videos, is an al-Qaida-affiliated group in Syria whose avowed goal is to topple the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Islamic State is more focused on its self-declared caliphate, and has been less active in battling Assad's regime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For that reason, some insurgents in Syria see al-Nusra as preferable to ISIS. Kinney and al-Nusra are trying to play upon those sentiments. Their strategy appears to be to release a series of on-the-ground videos that provide documentary proof of the many innocents ISIS is killing as it seeks to create a Muslim homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Islamic State has made clear that anyone who doesn't subscribe to its extreme interpretation of Islam is fair game and can be marked for death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the videos, Kinney is presented more like a documentarian touring a war zone than an al-Qaida propagandist trolling for recruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the new videos, Kinney travels to a mosque he says is in the countryside outside of Aleppo, in northwest Syria. This is where the Islamic State is now clashing with Syrian regime forces. The mosque, Kinney says, was the target of an ISIS suicide attack. As the camera pans the room, you can hear people sweeping up glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the scene now,\" Kinney says, speaking into the camera and pointing to the blood on the floor. \"Looking at all of this you can only imagine how it might have been, with I don't know how many brothers were sitting here ... Actually just from the force of the explosion here, a number of the brothers were sent flying out of this window.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A New Type Of Video\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The videos are a departure for al-Nusra, which has never been known for its presence on social media or slick propaganda. It isn't just the video's sense of immediacy, or the fact that they are in English that set them apart from al-Nusra offerings in the past. Instead, it is the videos' cinematic quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the way the video was shot, I kept thinking of 'Homeland,' \u003cem>\" \u003c/em>says Will McCants, director of the project on U.S. relations with the Islamic World at the Brookings Institution. \"The way that they presented his name or the location with computer type you'd see in Hollywood, for example, was quite striking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kinney isn't the first Westerner to emerge as the front man for a violent Islamist organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida's core leadership put a former heavy metal enthusiast from California named Adam Gadahn in charge of their Western propaganda efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group's arm in Somalia, known as al-Shabab, made a young Alabama man named Omar Hammami its Western recruiter. He produced a series of jihadi rap music videos that were considered very effective in convincing Westerners to come to Somalia to fight there. And now al-Nusra appears to have chosen Kinney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCants, who has just published a book about ISIS, says Kinney's video was very effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a viewer, to see him go into the mosque and react to the aftermath, it really underscored the message that he was delivering,\" he said. \"The Islamic State is not doing what it is supposed to do, which is protect normal Sunni civilians. It is killing them, and that is a key part of al-Nusra's anti-ISIS message.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Unclear Motivations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why Kinney decided to join al-Nusra is still a mystery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His mother, who has been divorced from his father for more than a decade, told reporters that her son had wanted, at one time, to be a Catholic priest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had gone to live with his father in Vienna, she said, and she believes he was radicalized there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kinney's father has not spoken publicly about his son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever drove Kinney to Syria and into the arms of al-Nusra, he's now emerged as the first white convert to join the ranks of the group and he appears to be trying to convince other potential recruits that, compared with ISIS, al-Qaeda is relatively moderate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honestly, between the two groups ISIS has had much more fortune recruiting people, and Jabat al-Nusra is trying to reverse that process,\" said Lorenzo Vidino, the director of the program on extremism at George Washington University. \"ISIS has attracted tens of thousands of foreign fighters and al-Nusra is trying to offer an alternative.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is too early to tell how effective the new Kinney videos will be. ISIS followers, who tweet thousands of messages a day, have dismissed him on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2015 NPR.
