As strong as the centers and their medical, educational and social support are, the need for their services to women, children and families is growing.</p> <p>The Charlotte Lozier Institute calculates that pregnancy help centers saved the lives of more than 820,000 infants from 2016 to 2020. Laws enacted or revived since the U.S. Supreme Court <em>Dobbs</em> decision in June are estimated to protect an additional 200,000 babies a year once implemented. The remaining gap between services and potential demand, especially in politically liberal states where abortion rates are generally highest, is as many as 500,000 clients per year.</p> <p>Despite criticism from some pro-abortion politicians and activists, pregnancy centers enjoy exceptional client satisfaction rates — 99.6%, for example, in exit surveys compiled by Heartbeat International, one of the largest networks of centers in the U.S. Undergirding that figure are other statistics showing the scope of resources and services these centers provide:</p> <p>• Eight in 10 U.S. locations offer free ultrasounds for pregnancy confirmation.<br />• Centers provided 486,213 ultrasounds in 2019, the most recent year for which full data is available. Many of the machines providing these lifesaving sonograms have been made available through the Knights of Columbus Ultrasound Initiative.<br />• Of the nearly 15,000 paid staff members employed by pregnancy resource centers, 25% are licensed medical personnel.<br />• More than 800 centers offer sexually transmitted disease testing and more than 560 offer treatment onsite.<br />• Hundreds of centers offer abortion pill reversal, which has saved more than 4,000 babies from chemical abortion.</p> <p>Centers also increasingly provide longer-term support. The National Maternity Housing Coalition serves member homes in dozens of states and provides women with an extended option for housing and support services as they prepare for birth and a new life. The coalition maintains a toll-free, 24/7 hotline at 1-800-712-HELP. This past year, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s Her PLAN (Her Pregnancy and Life Assistance Network) project launched an online directory of providers to help women access mentorship, job training, housing, health services and legal support. The project currently operates in 10 states, with another 10 coming soon.</p> <p>Pro-life policy initiatives are also expanding at the state and federal levels. In Georgia, new state legislation makes unborn children eligible for a $3,000 income tax exemption. In Tennessee, Gov. Bill Lee announced expanded TennCare benefits for mothers to allow them to obtain postpartum services for a full year. In Texas, specially earmarked funds in the amount of $100 million will sustain programs that provide alternatives to abortion.</p> <p>Heartbeat International president Jor-El Godsey puts these efforts in perspective: “As the abortion landscape changes from state to state, one thing remains the same: Women need life-affirming options available to help them through what is often a very challenging time,” he said. “Thankfully, with nearly 3,000 pregnancy locations nationwide, we have a great start in reaching these women with the support they need.</p> <p align="center">*****</p> <p>CHUCK DONOVAN is president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research and education arm of Susan B.
