Study of Pro-life Pregnancy Resource Centers Finds Big Impact Upon Women

Many years ago, during a committee hearing in the Indiana legislature, a good friend of mine was testifying on an abortion issue. Jackie mentioned the many good things that Crisis Pregnancy Centers did for Hoosier women. After the hearing ended an agitated head of Planned Parenthood came to her and said, “They can’t do all those things for free, there must be something in it for them.” It seemed like a revealing comment showing the motivation of the abortion industry.

There are an estimated 2,750 pregnancy resource centers in America doing a whole lot for free. A new study finds that these pro-life centers did an estimated $161 million in free services last year alone. These organizations consulted with 883,700 people in need. They administered 679,600 pregnancy tests and 400,100 ultrasound screenings. They taught 295,900 people in parenting and prenatal classes. They helped 24,100 women struggling after an abortion. They also reached over 1 million young people with abstinence-based sex education classes or instruction. It is estimated that last year pregnancy centers directly touched 2 million people through their various services.
