There has been much discussion over the increased use of abortion pills after the overturning of Roe v. Wade has resulted in more women seeking the drug from states that have restricted abortion access, but one report is highlighting the increased use of pro-life pregnancy centers. The Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) recently released a report<\/a> detailing the activities of pregnancy centers throughout the US and noted that facilities that discourage abortion, referred to as pregnancy resource centers (PRCs), served over one million new clients for the first time last year. The\u00a02,775 PRCs also provided $452 million in goods and services to families. Such goods and services include things like ultrasounds, formula, diapers, parenting classes, and more.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the PRCs provided $116 million in material resources. This is a 48% increase from 2022, when Roe v. Wade was overturned in the Dobbs <\/em>decision. 29% of PRC\u2019s provided abortion pill reversal, which can save an unborn child\u2019s life after an abortion pill has been taken. 77% offered post-abortion counseling. Client satisfaction with PRC services had also risen to 98%. Karen Czarnecki, executive director of CLI, discussed the changing landscape for PRCs, saying \u201cRising client visits and overall satisfaction are undeniable proof these centers are improving lives. It\u2019s imperative that pregnancy centers continue to increase the availability of services\u2014walking alongside women, men and families to provide love, education and support so they can courageously choose life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, which uses CLI as its research branch, emphasized the growing need for more PRCs, which seek to heal the underlying causes of why women seek abortions in the first place. \u201cYou have a Planned Parenthood organization and a big abortion movement that, to the problem of addiction, says when she enters a clinic, or she goes online, \u2018Here’s your pill. Have a nice life,\u2019\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cPregnancy centers, with the support of care workers, are going to the roots of the problem, to addiction, domestic abuse, homelessness, of the problem of just physically getting to your job so that you can do your job and support your family, the question of finishing school that you find yourself needing more resources and community and help at a moment where you want to say yes to your child and you also want to say yes to your own life and its trajectory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
