What We Do

Abortion is the most intensely debated issue in American culture today. Factions within the country are at odds with each other over this issue and heightened political rhetoric over it divides our nation. Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRCs) exist in every community to serve as peace makers that love both the mother considering abortion and her unborn baby. Both are valuable human lives and both need care and compassionate concern from society.

In the United States, more than fifty (50) million unborn children have been aborted since the Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973 and over 3,300 abortions occur every day. At this alarming rate, the pro-life Pregnancy Resource Center (PRC) is on the front line of this cultural battle. Mothers in crisis pregnancies who are considering abortion receive at PRCs compassionate counseling, emotional support and information regarding their options.

Founded in 1993, the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) provides life-affirming PRCs with legal counsel, education, and training. NIFLA has dramatically grown and now represents approximately 1,200 member PRC’s across the country.

NIFLA provides critical legal counsel to PRCs to enable them to avoid legal pitfalls in their operations. NIFLA is the national leader in the development of legal guidelines to help PRCs convert to licensed medical clinics. Of NIFLA’s membership, more than 700 PRCs operate as medical clinics providing ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy. Through The Life Choice Project (TLC) hundreds of PRCs have made a successful conversion to medical clinic status.

NIFLA’s monthly publications, Legal Tips and Clinic Tips, provide vital legal information to PRCs regarding legal and medical issues affecting their operations. All NIFLA members receive a Legal Audit, which identifies legal deficiencies which exist in their operations and need to be corrected.

Through the provision of medical services, including ultrasound, PRCs open a window to the womb for abortion-minded patients. After viewing an ultrasound, the vast majority of these patients choose life. To support the PRC’s mission, NIFLA offers medical training for nurses in limited obstetric ultrasound in the PRC setting, continuing nurses training in ultrasound online and our National Medical Advisory Board.
