The profitable abortion lobby with their language of “choice” has for years lashed out against pro-life pregnancy resource centers (PRC), falsely labeling them “fake” and “dishonest.” However, one pro-abortion referral service has chosen to masquerade as a PRC in Indiana. All-Options was specifically modeled after pro-life pregnancy centers, according to a\u00a0blog pos<\/a>t at the Abortion Gang (written by Catrina Otonoga,\u00a0whose LinkedIn page<\/a> states she works at the Preterm abortion facility). But one glaring difference is seen on the All-Options billboard below, where “abortion access” is listed as the first service:<\/p>\n

All-Options began in 2004 as Backline<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in Portland, and expanded<\/a>\u00a0to several other states<\/a>, with its\u00a0Talkline<\/a> “counseling” number offering women the opportunity to\u00a0speak to counselors<\/a> who are “not licensed healthcare providers or mental health specialists.”<\/p>\n

In 2014, All-Options created a\u00a0GoFundMe page<\/a> to raise money for a\u00a0brick and mortar in Bloomington, Indiana, where it planned to offer “free pregnancy tests and condoms… Concrete resources like diapers, baby clothes, care packages, and educational materials… Referrals to pregnancy, birthing, abortion<\/strong>, adoption, parenting, and contraceptive providers and community resources.”<\/p>\n

All-Options told supporters, “It is time to demonstrate that anti-abortion organizations do not have a monopoly on supporting parents and\u00a0people who are continuing their pregnancies.”\u00a0But is “All-Options” really about all options for women?<\/p>\n

While\u00a0All-Options<\/a>\u00a0advertises itself as a PRC, its stated goal<\/a> is “to increase the availability of nonjudgmental pregnancy options counseling and to break down the silos that separate providers of abortion, adoption, pregnancy, and parenting services.”<\/p>\n

In other words, All-Options openly supports abortion.<\/p>\n

As seen below, the center’s executive director “serves on the steering committee of All* Above All” — a group seeking to “build support for lifting bans that deny abortion coverage” — and ran the California Coalition for Reproductive Freedom:<\/p>\n

The center is so pro-abortion that, according to the social media posts below, it sued the state of Indiana over its abortion regulations:<\/p>\n

In 2015, the All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center\u00a0launched<\/a>\u00a0in Indiana, offering diapers and access to abortion funds are offered as “services.”<\/p>\n

And this “PRC” has a very cozy relationship with the profitable abortion industry.<\/p>\n
