Pregnancy centers have been helping women and men face unplanned pregnancies and new parenthood for nearly 60 years. Today, there are nearly 3,000 of these centers across the country providing pregnancy-related resources and support, typically at no cost. 

These centers commonly offer pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STI and STD testing, material assistance such as diapers and baby clothes, referrals for additional medical care and community resources, educational classes, and after-abortion recovery care. Anyone on either side of the abortion issue should be able to get behind these nonpolitical services, and Congress must do all it can to protect its work.
