Pregnancy resource centers step up healthcare post-Dobbs

A new generation of anti-abortion advocates is filling critical gaps in women’s healthcare through grassroots institutions typically scorned by the mainstream medical community: pregnancy resource centers.

Pregnancy resource centers, or PRCs, have increasingly served as mini medical centers for women experiencing unplanned pregnancies since the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in 2022 that there is no constitutional right to abortion, a period that has also seen more hospitals close their maternity units.
