‘Standing in the Gap’: Pregnancy Resource Centers Served 1 Million+ Women in 2024
Nov 26, 2025 by FACT
Material support provided to women and families by pregnancy resource centers across the United States increased by over 45% in 2024, reaching an all-time high, and client satisfaction rose to 98%. This is incredible news for the pro-life movement and showcases once again that abortion is not the only option for women facing crisis pregnancies. Pro-life resource centers are willing and able to help expectant mothers find the help they need.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) began its 2025 National Pregnancy Center Report, titled "Pregnancy Centers: Rising to the Occasion with Unwavering Care," with this encouraging news:
Birth is a precious event representing hope and new beginnings. It is fitting, then, that on July 4, 2025—the birthday of the United States— the One Big Beautiful Bill was enacted. This act defunded taxpayer support of big abortion for an entire year, signifying the biggest pro-life victory since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022 and a fresh start for life-affirming pregnancy centers. Abortion has become increasingly politicized, and abortion advocates continue to spread misinformation. But where pregnant women are in need, pregnancy resource centers courageously stand in the gap.
The report later revealed that the total amount of medical care, support, educational services, and material goods provided to pregnant women by 2,775 resource centers in all 50 states exceeded $452 million.
“As an Ob/Gyn physician, I am astounded by the numbers presented in this report because they represent thousands of lives saved and touched by the Christ-like support and skilled medical care provided by centers," Dr. Sandy Christiansen, the national medical director of Care Net, shared. "From 2017 to 2024, there was a 60% increase in the number of ultrasound exams—each one affecting three lives: babies spared from death, and women and men protected from the heartache and risks associated with abortion. Priceless."
LiveAction shared some of the report’s other incredible findings:
The CLI report also revealed that pregnancy resource centers have a 98% satisfaction rate. Women who visit these centers report feeling loved, cared for, and leave with hope for the future. The same could never be true of abortion clinics.
“Gaining points on a satisfaction level can be as hard as raising your grade point average,” the president of Heartbeat International, Jor-El Godsey, explained. “Yet by bringing woman-focused consistent care and quality services, the pregnancy help movement has actually managed to improve upon an already high level of satisfaction.”
One Tennessee client shared: "I was going through a lot of stuff in my personal life and this was just a safe place for me where I could come and be open and honest about where I was at in my life. Portico was honestly the only place that gave me any kind of hope."
FACT is a strong supporter of pregnancy resources in Tennessee for this very reason. Women in crisis need comfort, sound advice, and hope – not traumatic, unsafe medical procedures that will end the life of their unborn child and leave them with lifelong emotional scars.
"As a rising tide lifts all boats, so too, the rise of pregnancy centers’ unyielding professional care and holistic support during this season of need is strengthening families and deepening the impact on American communities for good,” the CLI report declared.
As we approach the holiday season, we encourage you to reach out to a pregnancy center near you and inquire about donating baby items, supporting them financially, or volunteering your services. A few hours of your time could impact dozens of women and change the trajectory of their lives.
