Mission and Vision

Helping the Abortion-Minded Woman Choose Life

Our mission is simple: to help the abortion-minded woman have the medical care, counseling, and support she needs to choose life. We’re doing this through our life-affirming women’s clinics throughout Palm Beach County that provide a genuine alternative to abortion.

Today’s culture and media bombard women with misinformation about abortion, telling them that abortion is not only safe but that it’s their right as a woman. 

We exist to fight this misinformation by providing abortion-minded women with the truth, support, and services they need to choose life.

Our Mission & Vision

The stakes have never been higher. In this post-Roe era, abortion is at the forefront of the political landscape, and policies and laws regarding abortion access are constantly in flux—and the women facing unexpected pregnancies are stuck in the middle. 

Our mission is to meet these women where they are, allowing them to see that abortion isn’t the only answer. To realize this vision, we’re doing the following:

  • Providing abortion-minded women with pregnancy testing and ultrasounds
  • Offering community referrals to help women have what they need to choose life
  • Giving ongoing support so women know they’re not alone

Our vision is to see a world where women facing unexpected pregnancies don’t feel forced into abortion by culture or circumstances. And we know that changing the world starts with changing our own community. This is why everything we do is about serving the women in our communities who need us most.
