Alison is in high school and arrived at CompassCare with her father, who wants her to abort. She has known about her pregnancy for two months. Alison was initially leaning towards carrying her baby to term and already received prenatal care with out her father’s knowledge. But her father is determined that his daughter not
How does CompassCare get the father of the baby involved? It is a very good question and one that is asked frequently. I think what is actually meant by the question is, ‘How can we get the father of the baby to act like a man?’ The act of ‘fathering’ means he is already involved.

In June, Supreme Court pro-abortion Justice Anthony Kennedy retired. Ironically he did so after a stern warning to liberal states like California not to go the route of tyrannical regimes by targeting the faith of pro-life pregnancy centers. Now President Trump seeks the confirmation of a pro-life replacement for Kennedy. Many pro-abortion politicians such
On Tuesday, June 26 the Supreme Court ruled a controversial California law, unconstitutional. Is this a victory or merely a reprieve?

On June 11, 2018 New York Assembly Bill 11150 was introduced, which targets Pregnancy Centers for legislative investigation.

In the final days of New York’s 2018 legislative session an abortion expansion battle rages. Governor Cuomo has many times sought to radically expand abortion in NY…the abortion capital of the U.S. The barrier to his plans has been the historically Republican controlled Senate. However, Republicans lost the majority in recent special elections and
