Pro-Life Resources

Pro-life pregnancy centers help women in crisis pregnancies, but they help many other people as well, such as the woman's parents and extended family, the father of the child...anyone affected by a pregnancy. But they do far more than that. Had an abortion? Find you have lasting effects afterwards? Pro-life pregnancy centers can help. Will the people there condemn you for having an abortion? Absolutely not. (As a matter of fact, you'll most likely discover some of the women at the center have had abortions too. And struggled. And that's why they're there--they want to help other women who are struggling like they did.)

Will those people at a pro-life pregnancy center make a woman give her baby for adoption? Of course not. Will they help her keep her baby if that's what she wants? Yes. They have more resources to help a woman do just that than you can imagine.

Do these pregnancy centers refer clients to get abortions? No. That is the one thing a pro-life pregnancy center will not do. They will talk with clients about abortion. They will provide information about abortions. They will provide alternatives to abortion, but a pro-life pregnancy center will never recommend a woman have an abortion or refer her for one--even in cases of incest and rape.
