POST-ROE TRENDS POST-ROE CHALLENGES

THE CONCERN

As more women in crisis will continue their pregnancies, complex cases will benefit from case management for successful life and parenting needs.

THE CONCERN

Abortion is not legal in Texas, but women are still facing unplanned pregnancy. Some are still willing and able to travel to nearby states to get abortion pills or surgical abortions.

THE CONCERN

More women are being convinced that the abortion pill is a safe alternative to having a surgical abortion. Women are having abortions at home. Not only does this lead to them seeing the reality of abortion, but it is dangerous for women.

THE CONCERN

Abortion pills are not always effective in ending pregnancy. As more women take abortion pills, the number of incomplete anbortions will continue to rise.

OUR RESPONSE

We are hiring more staff and recruiting volunteers to work at our Health Initiative Parenting Program (HiPP). Case management includes navigating insurance or Medicaid applications, networking with partner agencies, and providing material needs through parenting education classes.

OUR RESPONSE

The Pregnancy Center is offering these women pre-abortion consults which includes counseling on options, STI/STD testing, and ultrasounds.

OUR RESPONSE

The Pregnancy Center has created marketing strategies to educate women in the Coastal Bend on the risks associated with abortion pills, particularly abortion pills that are being mailed or shipped across the border. The Pregnancy Center also offers Abortion Pill Reversal (APR).

OUR RESPONSE

The Pregnancy Center is now offering post-abortion ultrasounds to women who have taken abortion pills and are concerned that they are still pregnant. In the short time we have been offering this sergice, we have seen five babies who survived abortion. Through ministering to these mommas, they are now excited to have their babies!
