About Us

Who We Are
The Women’s Choice Network empowers abortion-vulnerable women to choose life. Since 1985, our Centers have provided life douknowwcnaffirming pregnancy services to thousands of families in Pittsburgh. In 2009, our Centers re-organized as Women’s Choice Network with a vision to offer these services in neighborhoods with greatest need. We currently serve in Oakland, Monroeville Mall, North Side,  and Wexford.

What We Do
Our Medical Clinics provide pregnancy testing, STD testing and treatment, sonogram, medical consultation and life-saving options to abortion. Our services also include post-abortion care and abstinence education; all of our services are offered under the direction of a Professional Medical Staff and are provided to all clients at no charge.

Each of our clients is encouraged to enroll in “Baby Steps,” our ongoing accountability program that enables families to earn while they learn. Childbirth, parenting classes, and life skill programs allow clients to earn clothing, furnishings, formula, and other items. We also work with schools, churches, and community groups as we share the benefits of sexual abstinence and the message of the Sanctity of Human Life.

How You Can Help
All of our services are offered to families at no charge because of the generous gifts from individuals and churches. Women’s Choice Network is not funded by any State or Federal dollars. We rely on local partners like you to help us give hope to a new generation.

  • Pray. Join thousands who pray for us daily.
  • Consider volunteering. Each of our Centers is staffed by trained volunteers.
  • Sponsor a Day. Each day it costs $275 to open one center and serve its clients.
  • Host a Baby Bottle Campaign at your Church or business. Your spare change really adds up and saves little lives.

Fast Facts

  • Over 8,000 abortions are performed in Allegheny County each year.
  • That means that 22 of our friends and neighbors are suffering an abortion every day.
  • 42% of those abortions are suffered by African American women yet African Americans comprise only 13% of the population here. We recognize and address this tragic injustice.
  • 90% of women who view their child’s ultrasound will choose life rather than abortion.
  • 85% of women report that they would not have chosen abortion if they knew help was available.
