Pregnant Women in Trouble

An perennial criticism is that the Church denounces abortion but does not "help pregnant women who are often facing dire situations and difficult decisions."

Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Church devotes enormous resources to all manner of services to womena and children in need, locally and throughout the world. Local Churches always have programs specifically directed to "help pregnant women who are often facing dire situations and difficult decisions."

Many parishes put this information in their bulletins. Dioceses coordinate efforts through Catholic Social Services, maternity homes, and many other ways.

More information about this nationally can be found through the Gabriel Project, OptionLine, and other places.
