63f585d32593e4eb5c5b5d9ee518685fWomanKind Medical Clinic is a pregnancy resource center in Appleton, WI. We love their tagline: “helping you make the best decision.” WomanKind provides all kinds of medical resources for women, from pap smears to STD tests, from ultrasounds to pelvic and breast exams. This is clearly an important resource for this community!! As a matter of fact, ask any PRC: an ultrasound drastically increases the possibility that a mother chooses life for her child, and continues seeking resources to help her during an important time. Executive Director MJ shared a few stories from WomanKind’s ultrasound room:

 

Story 1: A young woman, here from another country working an internship. She is under contract with them and signed a statement that she would not get pregnant. Boyfriend wants her to abort. After seeing the ultrasound they both decided to carry to term.

 

 

Story 2: A young girl, just graduated high school, being pressured to abort by boyfriend. Her father referred her to us, he supports her decision whatever she decided. Came with boyfriend for pregnancy test, came alone for ultrasound. Remained abortion minded after ultrasound. She had an appointment at Planned Parenthood scheduled. Called her with the ultrasound results, said she had cancelled the Planned Parenthood appointment and will parent! Scheduled another ultrasound here so boyfriend can see baby.

 

 

Story 3: A young couple seeking abortion had a positive pregnancy test at WomanKind Medical Clinic. They were scheduled to come back for an ultrasound. On their Exit Evaluation, they commented that they liked everything about our services except the “man yelling on the sidewalk” (The question was “What did you like best or least about the services received?)

When they came back for their ultrasound appointment, the nurse clarified to them that the man on the sidewalk is not with WomanKind, he is a person that is praying at Planned Parenthood every day. (Our clinic is right next door to Planned Parenthood that is a family services clinic, they do not do abortions there). The patient commented that “Doesn’t he know that they don’t do abortions at that Planned Parenthood?” Her boyfriend said that they only wrote that on the Exit form because they liked everything about our clinic and couldn’t think of anything negative. During the ultrasound, both were smiling at the images of their baby. After the ultrasound, they both said that there was “no way they could have an abortion now!”

On follow-up for the ultrasound, the patient said that they are both exited now about the baby and thinking of baby names.
