A new report aims to measure the impact of pro-life pregnancy centers on women's health care in the U.S., offering detail on the nearly 2 million women served last year.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research arm of pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List, reported on Wednesday that more than 2,700 pro-life pregnancy centers around the U.S. served nearly two million people in 2019, providing nearly $270 million in services.
These centers included both brick-and-mortar establishments, but also mobile medical centers, serving both expectant mothers and post-abortive women, with the vast majority of facilities offering parental education, material assistance for mothers, and ultrasound tests.
"Pregnancy centers exist to serve and support mothers in the courageous decision to give their children life, even under the most difficult circumstances," Chuck Donovan, president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, stated on Wednesday. "This report calculates the impact of their mission of love in concrete terms."
