About Us
Our mission is to empower people to make informed choices about pregnancy and parenting by showing the love of Jesus and providing life-affirming education and support.
Consistent with the Informed Choices Statement of Corporate Faith, the Mission of Informed Choices is as follows:
Empowering Women and Men to Make Informed Choices by presenting Jesus Christ to those involved in pregnancy decisions through provision of physical, emotional, and spiritual support.
REACH
Women in our communities are searching the internet every day for abortion services. Our client website, informedchoices.org, and online advertising reaches young women most vulnerable – or even determined – to get an abortion. When they text or call to schedule appointments with our Centers, we offer free pregnancy tests, options education, and an introduction to their unborn baby on an ultrasound screen.
EDUCATE
At Informed Choices Centers, our staff and volunteers provides each woman who is administered a pregnancy test with Options Education; truthful, accurate information about all their choices – abortion, adoption and parenting.
- Abortion Education: truthful information regarding fetal development, abortion procedures, and the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical risks. Informed Choices does not perform or refer for abortion.
- Adoption Referral helps clients who are unable or unwilling to embrace parenting a child to consider choosing life through an adoption plan.
- Parenting Education covers healthy pregnancy, infant care, the importance of parental responsibilities, and setting goals for the future to provide stability and security for themselves and their children.
Our medical staff provides free limited ultrasounds that allow a woman considering abortion the opportunity to connect with her unborn baby.
In addition to pregnancy related services, Informed Choices is actively working to reach youth at a critical age – the middle school years. Our Healthy Choices Program is incorporated into Health Classes of public and private schools, reaching 7,000 students during a school year! Our presenters cover topics such as drug use, bullying, setting goals, peer pressure, healthy relationships, abstinence, & teen pregnancy. This full week of interactive programing is offered completely free to schools. Learn more at www.ihavevalue.net.
SUPPORT
Most of the women, couples and families we serve are in need of on-going emotional, spiritual, physical and parenting support. We work with clients throughout their pregnancy and after their baby is born through the early toddler years. Through our “Earn While You Learn” program, moms and couples earn points while learning to prepare themselves for parenting and life skill responsibilities. Baby supplies, clothing and furniture items can be purchased with their points while shopping in our Baby Boutique.
We are also here to offer support for women who have had at least one abortion. Through post-abortion support, women experience healing and freedom from the heartbreak of a past abortion.
