While our society is often quick to formulate an opinion about what a woman should do when faced with an unexpected pregnancy, pregnancy centers like ours are here to listen and help.
Whether considering parenting, adoption, or abortion, a woman deserves an open and honest conversation about the realities of each. They deserve accurate information, respect without pressure, and an atmosphere of love.
During our last fiscal year alone, the PRC served over 2,000 clients and made almost 5,000 referrals for medical care, WIC, shelter, food, education, rehabilitation, and more.
Consider “Mia,” who arrived quite certain that abortion was her only choice. As she opened up to one of our client advocates, she shared that abortion was actually what her boyfriend wanted, not her. He’d given her an ultimatum—to choose him or the baby. After seeing her baby jumping around on the ultrasound, everything changed for Mia. Her face finally broke into the first smile we’d seen since she came through our door. Today, Mia’s daughter is just over a year-old and walking. Mia is a loving, hard-working mother who can’t imagine life without her child. We strive to end the crisis, not the child.
