Data shows more abortion-minded women are visiting pregnancy help centers

Findings included the fact pregnancy centers served nearly 975,000 clients with an estimated service value of $358 million at no cost to those clients.
Updates to that 2022 report show the total number of client contacts, in-person and virtual, amounted to more than 16 million and that eight in 10 pregnancy center locations offer medical services.
“When you think about 16 million occasions that pregnancy centers interacted caring for women, men, and families in one year, it speaks to the reach of the 2,750 centers we studied and their impact on communities,” said Moira Gaul, CLI associate scholar. “This result which is a new metric we studied was powerful to see.”
CLI is the research arm for national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. It studies and publishes extensively on pregnancy help and abortion policy.
