A Message from the Executive Director
Dear Friends,
 
We are approaching the end of our fiscal year in June and are busy making new plans for the year to come. I'm excited to tell you we are planning for growth! The number of client visits to our medical center has increased 400% from this time last year. We are so pleased that we have been able to serve so many women with pregnancy tests, sonograms, abortion pill reversal, and advocacy.

Over the past few weeks, we have added additional medical staff to help serve our growing client demand. Also, two faithful supporters are making it possible for CPC to purchase a second 3D sonogram machine! This new machine comes with a hefty price tag, and we are indebted to them for such generosity!

For our clients, 3D sonogram images demonstrate the undeniable humanity of the babies growing inside them. Among our abortion-minded clients who change their intent from "abortion" to "life," 77% will do so after they see a sonogram . The remaining women who choose life over abortion do so after we provide them with the appropriate resources that make choosing life and parenting easier (healthcare, WIC, employment, and family assistance, to name a few).

As laws shift regarding abortion access across the country, we are preparing for new growth and challenges. We are continually monitoring and evaluating how to best meet the needs of our clients in this ever-changing world. The one thing that never changes is the Truth. Thank you for supporting our ministry, helping us grow, and sharing the truth with so many women in Baltimore and the surrounding region.

I can't wait to see you all at the Blue Jean BBQ! Tickets are selling fast so be sure to get yours now! Pastors and their families can attend as our guests.

Every good wish,

Gina Ruppert
Executive Director

Options@328 Celebrates the Choice of Adoption 
Our client, "Luna," came to CPC with her two-month-old child. She thought she was pregnant again from a recent sexual assault. We offered her advocacy, a pregnancy test, and a sonogram. Her pregnancy was confirmed. She wanted an abortion.

Our advocates worked with her over several weeks, sharing information on all her pregnancy options. Luna decided that she would create an adoption plan for her child after delivery. We worked to direct Luna to our partner adoption agency. We are so thankful that she made the choice for life. This baby was saved and is now in a loving home!
Not All Heroes Wear a Cape!
Our Advocacy Coordinator, Wendy, pictured left, is blessed with the ability to make meaningful connections with many of our clients. Recently, "Ana" returned to Options for a follow up sonogram. During the procedure, she found out her baby had died through a miscarriage. Ana's 5-year-old daughter, "Sabrina," was also in the room. Ana could not find the words to share this news with her daughter. She asked Wendy to explain this loss to Sabrina since they had already established a warmhearted relationship.

Wendy was initially reluctant, but Ana insisted. Wendy prayed and composed herself. She explained that Jesus wanted Mommy's baby, her little brother, with Him in heaven. She told Sabrina that she will always have a brother that she can talk to in heaven. It was OK to be sad, but she reminded her that he is in the best place of all. Wendy continued saying this baby would be watching over them, waiting for them until they are called to be with the Lord. She told Ana that she is now a mother of an angel and to consider naming the baby. She encouraged them to talk about him, remember him, and honor him.

Wendy stayed in the advocacy room while they processed everything. Little Sabrina went from crying and rubbing Mommy's belly to giving her comforting hugs and sweet kisses. Ana left our facility saying she will always remember Options@328 and thanked Wendy for her tender care and kindness.

Even when there is sadness, there is always hope and it is through God's grace that the staff at CPC can serve our clients – even during many difficult circumstances.
It's a Family Affair!
A few weeks ago, our client, “Emily,” came to Options@328 for a pregnancy test. It came back positive, but it was too early in her pregnancy to receive an ultrasound. Emily returned with her sister and found out she is having twins! Dad, pictured on the cell phone, was shocked and overjoyed!
Options@328 Training
On Friday, May 6th the medical staff at Options met for training. Overall, the purpose of the training was:

  • Introduce newly hired staff.
  • Implement procedures and accountability at every position.
  • Amplify our impact in line with our mission.
  • Increase our reach to abortion vulnerable women.

We have a great team!

In the words of Theodore Roosevelt “‘Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." The staff at CPC certainly feels blessed to be called to this work worth doing.
Our Mission

The Greater Baltimore Center for Pregnancy Concerns is a locally organized and funded volunteer ministry demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ by providing abortion alternatives to women who find themselves in the midst of an unplanned pregnancy. We service clients by addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We also strive to provide accurate and complete information on prenatal development and abortion. We believe access to this information is needed in order to provide our clients with the facts, allowing them to make informed decisions. Ultimately, we desire to protect the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of our clients and their unborn children. We also provide emotional support and resources to any woman who comes to us having had an abortion. We believe our ministry to these and all women is to share the love of Jesus Christ.
