SCOPE:
This program is offered to girls and women who believe they might be pregnant or have had their pregnancy previously confirmed by self- testing and/or a health care provider.
The program will provide counseling/education to these girls and women in which the options of abortion, parenting and adoption are discussed. The program includes the option of pregnancy testing by the Center’s Medical Staff and if appropriate an ultrasound to confirm a viable pregnancy. The Center will not refer or recommend abortion but will offer accurate and current information on the procedures and potential effects of abortion to the pre-born baby and to the mother, including physical, emotional and/or spiritual consequences.
The desire of the Center is that by offering accurate and current, non-graphic education on abortion the client will be empowered to make a life-affirming decision in regards to her pregnancy.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCE:
This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live. Deuteronomy 30:19 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you have refreshed the hearts of the saints. Philemon 7
