The Pregnancy Care Center changing, evolving and growing.
The ministry, beginning in Augusta in 1998, has served all of Butler County. In 2011, 129 families received assistance of some kind from the center.
But those services involve much more than pregnancy care. Recently, the Board of Directors voted to change the name of the group to more accurately reflect its mission.
The newly named Pregnancy and Family Resource Center will still work with women during their pregnancies. But the group will also focus on counseling with the fathers of those children to help create a better family life for the women, babies and families.
Beyond a new name, the center is also pursuing a second location. Augusta has always been home to the ministry. Soon, there will be an El Dorado location as well.
We want to have the same commitment to El Dorado, Director Liana Guy said at the Life is Sweet banquet Tuesday night.
She said the center has entered into a partnership with Choice Medical Clinic in Wichita to provide ultrasound services when the new facility opens in El Dorado.
More than 90 percent of abortion minded clients chose to keep their babies after seeing an ultrasound, Guy said. Only 20 percent chose life without it.
Volunteers at the center provide many services to pregnant women and their families.
Until abortion becomes an unthinkable option, we will stand in the gap for these men and women and their babies, Guy said.
