The Need for Crisis Pregnancy Center
Many women choose abortion because they believe it to be the best or only option for dealing with their crisis pregnancy. Research has shown that the number one reason women choose abortion is their fear of abandonment by boyfriends, parents, friends, educators, or employers.
In one study, 90 out of 100 women said that they would not have had an abortion if they only had someone to stand by them and help then find positive alernatives. It is our desire to walk beside these women during their time of need, so they do not feel abandoned by providing for their physical, spiritual and emotional needs.
