Our Mission
Our mission is to serve women and men facing pregnancy decisions by offering education and resources that empower an informed choice. Our goal is relational. We want to see those facing a pregnancy decision receive love, care, and support.
Shifting the Focus
Pregnancy has become a divisive social issue. The focus has shifted away from the needs of pregnant women and onto the protection of an agenda and the pursuit of an ideological victory.
We believe that pregnancy must be reclaimed from the political stage. The responsibility of women’s care must be returned to communities, families, and professional nonpolitical agencies.
Women Are Capable of Self-Decision
The American Medical Association Code of Medical Ethics Opinion on informing patients states that:
“The patient’s right of self-decision can be effectively exercised only if the patient possesses enough information to enable an informed choice.”
We provide factual information on all three of their options: parenting, adoption, and abortion. We always pray and hope for a life-affirming outcome.
Compassion and Love
A woman’s story doesn’t end with a pregnancy decision. Through genuine relationship and caring, we transcend the confusion, complexity, and controversy often surrounding her pregnancy and her eventual choice.
The power of compassion and love can make all the difference.
