Defending the Work of Pregnancy Help Centers

Every day, life-affirming pregnancy help organizations face relentless attacks from pro-abortion activists, biased mainstream media, censorship from big tech, and hostile legislation at both the state and federal levels. These attacks aim to silence the life-saving work of pregnancy centers and maternity homes that provide compassionate, free support to women facing unexpected pregnancies.

Our pro-life network of pregnancy help is engaged in a David vs. Goliath battle (1 Samuel 17) against the well-funded abortion industry and its allies. Despite these challenges, we stand firm in protecting the right of pregnancy centers to serve women and save lives.

Legal Battles for Pregnancy Centers

Right now, Heartbeat International is involved in two critical legal battles defending Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)—a protocol that has helped countless women continue their pregnancies after starting a chemical abortion. Learn more about these cases:

• The People of the State of California v. Heartbeat International & Real Options
• Heartbeat International & CompassCare, et al. v. Letitia James

What's at stake? Innocent lives.

The good news: As long as pro-life pregnancy centers are under attack, Heartbeat International will stand in their defense. Since 1971, we have empowered the pregnancy help movement with legal resources, expert training, and a strong network of support.

These battles will shape the future of the pro-life movement for generations to come. With your help, we can ensure that pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, and adoption agencies continue to provide hope and life-affirming choices for women.

What is Pregnancy Help?

Pregnancy Help Organizations provide life-affirming care to women at every stage of their pregnancy and beyond. These organizations include:

✔ Pregnancy Resource Centers and Pregnancy Help Medical Clinics
✔ Mobile Ultrasound Units offering free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds
✔ Maternity Homes providing safe housing and support
✔ Nonprofit Adoption Agencies promoting life-affirming options
✔ Abortion Recovery Programs for post-abortive healing
✔ Pregnancy Support Services offering material assistance and parenting education

There are thousands of pro-life pregnancy centers across the United States serving women and families in need. 

Each state has unique needs as well as challenges, and now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, local and state laws have become the focus for activists on each side. It is now more important than ever that we are involved with our local centers and aware of how the changing laws are impacting them! While our affiliates open their doors to meet the needs of the women and families in their town, Heartbeat works to both inform and prepare our network of pregnancy help with the tools and education they need in order to run an effective organization.
