Pregnancy Resource Center Baby Shower What would you do if a friend were facing an unexpected or “crisis” pregnancy? For millions of women across the country each year, a Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC) is where they turn. For over 40 years, PRCs have offered love, care, and support to women when they need it most, providing resources and an alternative to abortion. PRCs meet the needs of women, moms, and babies, undoubtedly impacting countless lives over the years. video In 2009, the Family Research Council, along with CareNet, Heartbeat International, and the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) published a report on PRCs entitled, A Passion to Serve.  The report “lays out in detail, through statistical summaries, case studies and client stories, the extraordinary social service contributions made by the nation’s PRCs, meeting the needs of women, youth and families.”  You can read more about their research and access the report HERE.
