Choices for Life... Heather and Jessica (not their real names) came to the Center on different days for medical services to find out if they were pregnant. Their tests were positive and one elected ultrasound confirmation. Due to relationship issues and circumstances, both patients thought that abortion was their only choice. Our staff spent considerable time with Heather and Jessica, getting to know them, listening to their concerns, sharing accurate information and pointing out the physical, emotional and spiritual consequences of choosing abortion. After they left the center, our prayer partners continued to pray for them. Both young ladies decided to continue their pregnancy. Our Patient Advocates will continue to reach out to Heather and Jessica, offering them support and encouragement.

Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to become more familiar with the Abel Pregnancy Resource Center ministry. We exist because somewhere in our community there is a woman who suspects she is pregnant. If her circumstances and the timing were different she probably would be very joyful about the prospect of having a baby. However, for this woman there is no joy - only confusion, anguish, and fear.

There are choices, but all seem frightening to her. Deep inside she knows that whatever she decides, she must live with the awesome consequences for the rest of her life.

The Abel Pregnancy Resource Center is for any pregnant woman who wants to talk with someone who cares. Our staff provides accurate information about pregnancy options and resources with compassion and care, empowering her with gentle coaching toward a healthy outcome for her and her baby. And when a woman decides to carry her baby to term, we will help her throughout her pregnancy and afterwards, to meet her emotional, spiritual and material needs.
