“Giving Tuesday means that we will be able to continue to offer all of our services for free. Our services include pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STD testing, Pap/Pelvic and breast exams.”
Today, we all have an opportunity to give alms to the poor by supporting charities and non-profits financially, and I feel blessed to give that support to pregnancy resource centers. To “give back” to our faithful supporters, I’ve created a few digital pieces of art to encourage you on your pro-life walk, and to remind you that you are not alone in upholding the dignity and value of life.
Nestled into the business of downtown Birmingham lies a beautiful treasure for women seeking assistance during an unplanned pregnancy. Her Choice meets the needs of everyone who walks into their door, including a person who was not actually seeking pregnancy care at all…

Early this morning, at 6 a.m., 22 young men and women set off on a pro-life adventure that will become one of the most memorable weeks of their lives.

But to quote one of the most quotable humans of all time: “But I shall show you a still more excellent way.”
“Mary’s fiat was more than just a yes! Mary agreed to follow God’s plan, even though she did not understand where it would take her. The women that receive services from our nation’s pregnancy resource centers are often in similar predicaments to Mary, though often less willing to say yes.”
Just as our leadership team, riders, and support crew teammates come together from all over the United States to ride out our mission, so too do we want our PRCs to work in partnership to succeed in our ultimate mission of conquering abortion everywhere.
