Save The Storks

EMPOWER ABORTION-MINDED MOTHERS ALL OVER AMERICA TO CHOOSE LIFE.

PARTNERING WITH PREGNANCY RESOURCE CENTERS TO EMPOWER WOMEN TO CHOOSE LIFE FOR THEIR BABIESA WOMAN FACING AN UNPLANNED PREGNANCY IS NOT ALWAYS PRESENTED WITH THE FULL RANGE OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HER. THAT'S WHY MOBILE MEDICAL UNITS - STORK BUSES - ARE SO IMPORTANT. A STORK BUS HELPS PREGNANCY RESOURCE CENTERS (PRCS) TAKE SERVICES INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES TO REACH MORE ABORTION-VULNERABLE WOMEN WHO DESPERATELY NEED HOPE AND HELP IN THEIR UNEXPECTED PREGNANCY. WHEN A WOMAN BOARDS A STORK BUS SHE WILL GET THE SUPPORT SHE NEEDS. THESE MOBILE MEDICAL UNITS ARE EQUIPPED WITH ULTRASOUND MACHINES AND LICENSED TECHNICIANS, AS WELL AS TRAINED ADVOCATES TO TALK THROUGH HER OPTIONS. THANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF OUR DONORS, AND IN PARNTERSHIP WITH OUR AFFILIATE PREGNANCY RESOURCE CENTERS, WE HAVE DELIVERED OVER 60 STORK BUSES THAT REACH WOMEN NEAR ABORTION CLINICS, ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES, IN RURAL AREAS AND INNER CITIES. SAVE THE STORKS HAS DEVELOPED A UNIQUE WAY TO REACH ABORTION-VULNERABLE MOTHERS WITH THE STORK BUS. WE'VE SEEN STORK BUSES PROFOUNDLY EXPAND THE REACH AND INCREASE THE IMPACT OF PREGNANCY RESOURCE CENTERS ALL OVER THE NATION. THESE MOBILE MEDICAL UNITS MINIMIZE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PRC AND THE WOMEN MOST IN NEED OF THE SERVICES. 80% OF WOMEN WHO BOARDED A STORK BUS, AND HAD A POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST, CHOSE LIFE.
