You may not realize it, but January is Sanctity of Human Life month. Spurred by the U.S. Supreme Court's January 22, 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, pro-lifers in America sought out a way to bring attention to their cause.
Over the past couple of decades, another movement has arisen. Crisis Pregnancy Centers and Pregnancy Care Centers have sprung up to combat the abortion mills that have been established across the nation.
In the Ozarks, the Springfield Pregnancy Care Center was born in 2000. Since that time, the PCC has grown from a small store front into a three story medical office. Services have gone from basic pregnancy care to full medical care and counselling for expectant moms and dads.
In more recent years, the PCC has grown their outreach to include abstinence education in area schools, parenting and relationship mentoring, and most recently, an international outreach to China.
This month, I encourage you to get involved with your local or regional pregnancy care center. Volunteer and give for the cause of life.
Check out the Springfield PCC for more information.
