<\/div>

Pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) have helped<\/a> countless women experiencing unplanned pregnancies, providing women and their babies with diapers, clothing, car seats, housing, access to childcare, access to health care, educational opportunities, and more \u2014 free of charge. Yet abortion advocates nationally and locally<\/a> \u2014\u00a0including Senator Elizabeth Warren<\/a> \u2014 have increased their attacks<\/a> against PRCs<\/a>, claiming that the pro-life volunteers and staff at these centers lie to women and only offer<\/a> “limited services” \u2014 and should therefore be investigated and shut down.<\/p>\n

The media bias is working to hide the truth from Americans: PRCs exist<\/a> to serve families.<\/p>\n

“Limited Services”<\/h3>\n

PRCs offer specific<\/em> services for their particular clientele. This is quite normal. Most centers offer free pregnancy tests, STD testing, and ultrasounds. Beyond that, some PRCs are licensed medical centers offering more involved prenatal care \u2014 and some offer expanded services that include housing, education, material goods, and other support. They don’t “trick” women into having their babies and then walk away. Women who want the help of a PRC will find that the PRC and the volunteers will stick by them throughout their pregnancy, their child’s birth, the first few years of their child’s life, and perhaps even beyond.<\/p>\n

In short, PRCs build actual relationships with their clients and their families.<\/p>\n
