Pregnancy Resource Center

Every person I have come in contact with here has been professional and kind. I’m grateful for all the services the PRC offers.

AMAZING! The pregnancy resource center is such a welcoming understanding place. Free from judgement of any choice you are thinking, this center offers so many referrals to outside resources. They educate you, and support you in finding resources to help you! They offer free pregnancy test and even a free ultrasound ! They offer nutritional classes and parenting classes and also post abortion consoling and support groups. I would never go to any other place to get a pregnancy test done. I will not name names, but I had gone to another place when I thought I was pregnant. I went to the pregnancy resource center and got a positive test the same day as the clinic told me «I was definitely not pregnant. «They gave me a bottle of prenatal vitamins, a referral for Medi-​cal, and some maternity clothes. I have a beautiful daughter and my gratitude for this center and the people who keep it running for no cost to the mother, THANK YOU!!!

I came here with an unplanned pregnancy and they welcomed me with open arms. They educated me on the different options including an abortion which I had never considered. They were honest about the the negative side effects of having an abortion which easily steered me away from having one. They counseled me thru the pregnancy and even continued after my child was born. They gave me many resources including programs California offers, benefits available, free clothing and other items needed. My son is now 10 and I’m now friends with the wonderful women who counseled me thru it all. I would highly recommend coming here if you find yourself in an unplanned pregnancy you have nothing to lose and won’t regret it.

I came to this center because my insurance had yet to be approved and I was told they worked with low-​income families. I planned to keep my baby and just wanted a baseline ultrasound. The women who work here were extremely nice. Like over-​the-​top nice. Someone stayed with me at all times, helped me fill out their extensive questionnaire, etc. The first clue that something was amiss was when they showed me a little box with tiny little replicas of what was supposed to represent embryos at various stages of development. Each little «embryo» was basically a tiny, fully-​formed baby with all of it’s facial features, fingers toes, etc. In other words – a misrepresentation of what embryos look like from conception to birth. Thinking this was a regular medical clinic, specializing in pregnancy, I freely admitted in my intake that I had chosen to have an abortion in the past. When I also mentioned experiencing mild cramping during this pregnancy, I was told it might be a result of scar tissue from said abortion. ??? I thought it was odd, but didn’t put two and two together until one of the staff kindly asked me if I’d received post-​abortion trauma counseling. She said that a new pregnancy would likely bring up suppressed guilt and pain from my abortion and that this was something they could help me with. All of a sudden it all clicked. The creepy kindness, the fake embryos, the insistence that abortion is a trauma. I was not in a regular clinic.
I was in a pro-​life propaganda center.
I felt ill. I felt manipulated and tricked. I felt violated. I never would have given them my private medical history if I had known. I felt unsafe.
Though pro-​choice, I believe that antiabortionists have a right to open and run clinics.
I do not, however, believe they have the right to deceive or to disseminate propaganda to vulnerable women.
They should be upfront about their mission.
I love it when people are kind to one another, but when people smile big while they deceive you, it’s creepy and Stepford-​ish. Just like this place.

Do not go here if you are considering an abortion. These people are not pro-​choice. I was 99% sure I was going to have an abortion and they counseled me with their personal sob stories, trying to «support» me, but really just giving me many reasons to strongly consider other options besides abortion. I was very dissatisfied and disgusted that they do not advertise correctly.

A wonderful place with caring counselors who truly want to support women. I received a free ultrasound, plus pregnancy information and various baby items that had been donated. Thank you!

A safe, confidential and caring place for women in an unplanned, untimely or unwanted pregnancy. I wish I had this counsel and help offered when I was a pregnant teenager in the 70’s. And all services are provided for free. Before you choose, get all the facts.

*WARNING* This place is a pro-​life organization, do not go here if you are considering terminating your pregnancy.
However, I knew I was keeping my daughter, and the soonest I could be seen at any other medical clinic to get a pregnancy verification was three weeks. In that aspect, this place was great. They gave me a pregnancy test, (which I knew would be positive, I peed on six different pee sticks the week before from digital to little + signs, they all said the same thing) and scheduled my six week ultrasound (for dating & viability of embryo) and were super sweet and treated my boyfriend and I with respect even though we are a young (unmarried) pregnant couple. I’m really thankful this place exists. They also have us a bunch of resources that helped us until my boyfriend finished training for his really great new job, and even found us help getting the deposit for the home we just moved into. They are a really wonderful place, and I honestly can’t say enough positive things about them. They are one of the few pro-​life organizations dedicated to helping people secure a future for their child, and that is definitely something I can respect.

What an awesome support organization for pregnant and not pregnant women. I have supported this agency for some time because of the wonderful service they proved in Santa Cruz county. Located across from Dominican hospital, this agency provides prenatal care, clothing resources for babies, sometimes diapers, and free or sliding scale counseling to women and the families of women who may or may not be pregnant!
I have personally known some of the volunteers who have given their time here In service to women in red and I know they have helped support and changed women’s lives.
If you need help with your pregnancy or just need counseling this is the place to go!
