Are there any non-religious crisis pregnancy centers that I can volunteer my time at?
All of my children will begin school in the fall and I’m looking to volunteer my time. I am fiercely pro-life, but I am not religious at all. I’d like to work in a pregnancy center that does NOT push a christian agenda on women in order to get them to change thier minds. I’d like to volunteer as an independent sounding board for women who are looking for options. Are there any organizations out there that are not exclusively faith based?
Kel–I would rather shoot myself in the kneecap than EVER step foot in a Planned Parenthood!
Catholic Charities does and NO religious affiliation is of no concern to them They are financed by the Catholic Church and private donations. They offer services to all women, children and families but abortion is not a solution nor suggested

Planned Parenthood
In all the years I went there, no one ever said anything about any kind of faith – they just want you to be able to know your body and make informed decisions for yourself.
It’s a clinic – they don’t perform abortions, although they can recommend doctors who do. They will go over ALL options with a woman. They were a great help to me when I was pregnant. (My son is now 21) They don’t have a religious doctrine. They provide free and low cost services for those in need. I used them for many years until the one test came back saying I had cancer, then they recommended me to a specialist. Gosh – what is so bad about them, really????
EDIT: Ok – perhaps then volunteering at an orphanage? They need lots of help – and there are a lot of kids there who were born, but still have no one.
Funny thing – I spent 15 years volunteering at ours – out of 32 volunteers, only two of them were pro-life. It just sometimes makes you wonder – why don’t the people who speak out about wanting the kids here want anything to do with them once they are here? (Not saying you – or anything like that – it’s just sad – perhaps you can set an example for others?)
