May 2023 — “Beverly”‘s Story
There’s something about abortion pill reversal that is especially intense. We meet a mom who knows that, because of her actions, her tiny baby is about to die.

Read MoreApril 2023 — “Billie”‘s Story
These are interesting times. Anyone paying attention to local or national news is likely to feel pessimistic, anxious, or even fearful. Financial insecurity, crime, and moral collapse are now routine and hit close to home. Add in an unexpected pregnancy and the future looks even more uncertain. For the past few months, our center staff…
Read MoreMarch 2023 – “Sarah”‘s Story
Backed into a corner. That’s how “Sarah” felt two weeks ago. Her boyfriend of seven months had become more and more unstable and hot tempered.

What does a “successful” year look like? How do we measure the impact of your giving? At WCN, we track every service, every client visit, every encounter. And at year’s end, it is fairly easy to give you the metrics and the data (and I think you’ll agree that it’s been a successful year). But…

Read MoreSeptember 2022 Letter – True Stories
We often talk about the power of your prayers knowing how it is ultimately God who will change the hearts of our clients. The power of those prayers was evident this week as He changed three hearts BEFORE they even made it into one of our clinics. “Maggie” first texted us while looking online for…
Read MoreAugust 2022 Letter – “Naomi”‘s Story
“I know I initially wanted an abortion but having him was the best thing that ever happened to me.” –Naomi Since the Supreme Court decision in late June, pregnancy centers like ours have been prominent in the media. Distortions, twisted misrepresentations, and downright lies have accused us of hurting women at “fake” clinics. We’ve suffered…

During the first week of May we met with “Nora” who was initially very excited to see a positivepregnancy test. But after going home and talking to the father of the baby (we use FOB forshort), she began to change her mind. He said it wasn’t the right time and he would pay for herto…
Read MoreMay 2022 Letter
“Women can’t be successful without Roe.” “Abortion is a woman’s right contained in the Constitution.” “Pro-lifers force women to have children they don’t want.” “Pregnancy Centers lie to women and deny them lifesaving procedures.” Since last week’s incredible Supreme Court leak, I’ve heard these four “memes” repeated often on social media and mainstream news.
