Statement of Principle

Pregnancy Clinic Ministry

1. The Pregnancy Clinic (PC) is an outreach ministry of Jesus Christ through His church. Therefore, the PC, embodied in its volunteers, is committed to presenting the gospel of our Lord to women with crisis pregnancies -- both in word and deed. Commensurate with this purpose, those who labor as PC board members, directors and volunteers are expected to know Christ as their Savior and Lord.

2. The PC is committed to providing its clients with accurate and complete information about both prenatal development and abortion.

3. The PC is committed to integrity in dealing with clients, earning their trust, providing promised information and services, and eschewing any form of deception in its corporate advertising or individual conversations.

4. The PC is committed to assisting women to carry to term by providing emotional support and practical assistance. Through the provision of God's people and the community at large, women may face the future with hope and plan constructively for themselves and their babies.

5. The PC never discriminates in providing services because of the race, creed, color, national origin, age or marital statues of its clients.

6. The PC never advises, provides, or refers for abortion or abortifacients.

7. The PC offers assistance free of charge at all times.

8. The PC is committed to creating an awareness within the local community of the needs of pregnant women and of the fact that abortion only compounds human need rather than resolving it.

9. The PC does not engage in contraceptive counseling or in referring for contraceptives or contraceptive services. (Married women seeking contraceptive information should be urged to seek counsel, along with their husbands, from their pastor and physician.)

10. The PC recognizes the validity of adoption as one alternative to abortion, but is not biased toward adoption when compared to the other life-saving alternatives. PCs are independent of adoption agencies, relating to them in the same manner as to other helpful referral sources. PCs neither initiate nor facilitate independent adoptions.
