Pregnancy Resource Center

A pregnancy resource center (PRC)—often called a crisis pregnancy center (CPC)—is a non-profit organization designed to counsel individuals against abortion and encourage carrying to term. They provide free, confidential services such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, counseling, and baby supplies, usually with a religious, anti-abortion focus. Key Details About Pregnancy Resource Centers: Services Offered: Free pregnancy tests, limited ultrasounds, counseling on alternatives to abortion, parenting education, and material assistance like diapers or maternity clothes. Mission: Their primary goal is to provide education and support to prevent abortions and promote adoption or parenting. Medical Care: While some offer medical services (like ultrasounds) overseen by licensed staff, many are not considered comprehensive medical providers and do not provide referrals for abortion or contraception. Funding: They are typically privately funded by donors and often affiliated with national networks like Care Net, Heartbeat International, or NIFLA. Distinction: Unlike clinics that provide full reproductive healthcare (such as Planned Parenthood), these centers specifically do not provide or refer for abortions, say Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights. Often located near abortion clinics, these centers may appear similar to medical clinics, but their services are tailored for pregnancy support and counseling.
