First Choice Pregnancy Center
Statement of Principle
- The pregnancy care center is an outreach ministry of Jesus
Christ through His church. Therefore, the pregnancy care center,
embodied in its volunteers, is committed to presenting the gospel
of our Lord to women with crisis pregnancies - both in word and
in deed. Commensurate with this purpose, those who labor as pregnancy
care center board members, directors and volunteers are expected
to know Christ as their Savior and Lord.
- The pregnancy care center is committed to providing its
clients with accurate and complete information about both prenatal
development and abortion.
- The pregnancy care center is committed to integrity in
dealing with clients, earning their trust and providing promised
information and services. The pregnancy care center denounces
any form of deception in its corporate advertising or individual
conversations with its client.
- The pregnancy care center is committed to assisting women
to carry to term by providing emotional support and practical
assistance. Through the provision of God's people and the community
at large, women may face the future with hope, and plan constructively
for themselves and their babies.
- The pregnancy care center does not discriminate in providing
services because of race, creed, color, national origin, age
or marital status of its clients.
- The pregnancy care center does not recommend, provide
or refer for abortion or abortifacients.
- The pregnancy care center offers assistance free of charge
at all times.
- The pregnancy care center is committed to creating an
awareness within the local community of the needs of pregnant
women, and of the fact that abortion only compounds human need
rather than resolving it.
- The pregnancy care center does not recommend, provide
or refer single women for contraceptives. (Married women seeking
contraceptive information should be urged to seek counsel, along
with their husbands, from their pastor and physician.)
- The pregnancy care center recognizes the validity of adoption
as one alternative to abortion, but is not biased toward adoption
when compared to the other life-saving alternatives. Centers
are independant of adoption agencies, relating to them in the
same manner as to other helpful referral sources. Pregnancy care
centers recieve no payment of any kind from these agencies, do
not enter into contractual relationships with them, and do not
share combined office space. Adoption agencies are not established
under the auspices of centers. Pregnancy care centers neither
initiate nor facilitate independant adoptions, though they may
refer for independant adoptions in states where it is legal.
