Pennsylvania's Pregnancy Help Centers Need Our Help!

From Maria Gallagher, Legislative Director
Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation

"The proposed state budget now being considered by the Pennsylvania state legislature does  not adequately fund the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program, which funds pregnancy help centers throughout Pennsylvania.

"Please contact the office of State Representative William Adolph, chair of the House Appropriations Committee,  with this important message, 'Please let the Representative know that funding for the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program needs to be increased for the sake of pregnant women and their babies in Pennsylvania'....

 Contact information for Representative Adolph can be found below.

 The program is listed in the state budget as “Expanded Medical Services for Women” under the Department of Public Welfare.  A funding increase of at least 10 percent is needed to meet the increased demand for services and save babies’ lives.

Nearly 100 pregnancy centers in Pennsylvania are part of the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program, which is administered by Real Alternatives, Inc.  The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation is grateful for both these centers and those centers which are entirely privately funded for helping to reduce Pennsylvania’s abortion rate by nearly 5 percent in a single year.

Thank you for making these critical calls and sending these essential emails!  The lives of unborn children and the well-being of their mothers hang in the balance!
