I’ve Volunteered At A Pregnancy Resource Center For A Year Now—Here’s What Really Happens There
The American Medical Association of Ethics claims that pregnancy resource centers are unethical institutions that may be a dangerous outlet for women. But what makes them so "dangerous"? Last year, I started volunteering at a pregnancy resource center. Here's what I learned.
To begin, they are often Christian organizations that don’t offer abortions. While they don’t offer abortions, they do offer supplies and support for women in difficult pregnancy situations. So how does not offering abortions make them so dangerous? I’m not exactly sure. I have spent years hearing that pro-lifers are really only “pro-birth,” meaning that people who are anti-abortion only care about babies being born. These people claim that pro-life Christian conservatives don’t actually care about what happens to babies and mothers after pregnancy. I am pro-life, and yet I do care about what happens to babies after they are born. In fact, I care so much that I decided to dedicate my time to volunteering at a pregnancy resource center.
