Agency Visit
The Agency that I chose to interview is The Women’s Resource Center of Southern Nevada, a National organization of crisis pregnancy centers. The agency provides assistance to women, children, and men experiencing pregnancy related issues. All of their services are free, and client’s confidentiality is kept to the full extent allowable by law. They also offer peer counseling, pregnancy test, material items and a wide range of referrals.
COUNSELOR- Susan Wright is one of the staffs that work for this agency, she was kind enough to let me do a brief interview, and she also showed me around the facility. She has been with the organization for 7 years and loves to help people, who are in need, and to try and save the lives of unborn children. She has counseled many young adults who are thinking about abortion, and many of these women are homeless, or on drugs. Susan prays with them and gives them referrals and offers an ultra sound to the client. The reason for the ultrasound is to allow the client to see the baby growing in their stomach, and hopefully their hearts and minds will change about aborting the baby.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of this agency is to save as many unborn babies as possible, and to help the women get a new start with their lives. They have many referrals to send the young ladies to, and many of the referrals will help them get education, and housing, also many will help placing the baby for adoption with good parents. They offer the mothers open adoptions, and they can have access to the child as long as they please, the most important aspect of their mission is to save the lives of the unborn and to share the love of the lord Jesus Christ.
SERVICES
The Women’s Resource Center provides free pregnancy test, formula, diapers, clothes for babies (up to 2 years old), and maternity clothes for mothers. They have trained volunteer peer counseling who provide accurate fetal

    At the beginning they talk about how the two clinics are across the street from each other, the Women’s Health Care Center purchased the building from a chiropractor in a matter of a small amount of time, so they can stage protest daily against the Women’s World Clinic and provide another path for women seeking abortion, many women mistaken the Women’s Health for the abortion clinic. Anne, who runs the Women Health Clinic, surprised me with her actions during the film. She would give out mix information to the women who think they are in the right building and are preparing for an abortion. Widline a fifteen years old who was 10 weeks pregnant came in and she was not financially or emotionally ready for a baby and Brittney who was nineteen years old who is seven week pregnant and was ready to abort her pregnancy (she had one once before). Why both women was in the office, Anne would run in and out whispering to the other staff members in the office “she abortion-minded”, “Let’s get her in for an ultrasound (at times they would put messages on the ultrasound print out), and see if we can get a heartbeat.” While the…

The ability to make their dreams come true completely changes the attitudes of the ill children, and inspires them to keep fighting and to never give up.

    My mother died at the age of 50 due to the strain of 18 pregnancies, consisting of 11 births and 7 miscarriages. I was the sixth out of those 11 children. In 1900, I began training as a nurse; I wanted to aid pregnant women. Since then, I’ve seen many poor young mothers become extremely ill and die of the strain from frequent pregnancies. During a house visit, I met a 28 year old mother of 3 with another child on the way, who died of self induced abortion. I remember seeing her body, I remember earlier visits, and I remember how desperate she was to get out of her situation. After witnessing these terrible tragedies I quit nursing in 1902 and devoted my life to helping women before they were driven to dangerous and extreme measures. I then got the idea of a “magic pill” that women could take to help prevent pregnancy.…

The ultimate goal is to have abused children reunited with their biological parents -when possible- once the danger of repeated abuse has been curbed. The decision to place children up for adoption is a measure of last resort.…

    As a reluctant and nervous nineteen-year-old, I walked in to my first day as a nurse aid to a brightly lit, and mostly bubble gum pink Women’s Service’s unit. I worked there through nursing school; and happily accepted a job as a nurse after graduating. Nine years, and a lot of joy, tears, and learning in between, I continue to call this place my home. There is much satisfaction in being part of the continuum of care of women and families during the antepartum, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period, as well as the care of her newborn baby, and for some women, before and after gynecological surgeries. This mostly happy area of practice is not immune to tragedy, and the to have ability to be with a family and counsel them in their…

    The first source I acquired was from an articled called “Social Sources of Women 's Emotional Difficulty After Abortion: Lessons from Women 's Abortion Narratives” written by Katrina Kimprt. In this online article I was able to see that women were interviewed after they had an abortion to see the emotional effects the abortion had on them. 21 women were interviewed, and all 21 were suffering post abortion effects. These interviews were done through the phone. They recruited these women through two different ways, one being a direct sample that was made for a separate research project on the experiences women had after abortion. The second way was the women were partnered with two abortion support talk lines. These strategies seem very effective because it wasn’t just a 10 minute…

    Pregnancy is a beautiful experience that will be the beginning of the shaping and development of an individual, the preparation period for bringing a new being into the world. Unfortunately, this sacred period of time is not immune to tragedy, mistakes, and heartache, especially when addiction or even casual substance use is involved. Pregnant women are not only eating for two, but are also damaging two bodies and souls when they choose to abuse substances during pregnancy. Substance abuse during pregnancy is becoming more prevalent, with substance abusing women of child bearing age accounting for 40% of the treatment population; this…
