Mothers Laud Crisis Pregnancy Centers at Capitol

July 27th, 2010 by Nathan Curby

Pray for mothers on Capitol Hill testifying to the good that Crisis Pregnancy Centers have done for them. Give thanks for CPCs and volunteers saving lives and encouraging young women facing unplanned pregnancies.

Terrie was pregnant and confused in the Fall of 2008. She was unemployed, and her boyfriend had kicked her out of his apartment. Opening the yellow pages to look for an abortion clinic, she noticed an ad for a crisis pregnancy center that offered help for pregnant women.

Now Terrie and other moms who opted to keep their babies are going to the Capitol to tell Congress how grateful they are for the help they received from pregnancy centers. Heartbeat International sponsors the “Babies Go to Congress” event, happening this week from Tuesday through Thursday. Heartbeat says that abortion advocates like NARAL Pro-Choice America are slandering pregnancy centers and lobbying for Congress to regulate them. “Babies Go to Congress” is an effort to show Congress the good that pregnancy centers are doing.
