The pregnancy resource center, formerly known as CareNet Redding in Redding, California, recently rebranded itself as NorthState Care Clinic to better represent its capacity.

When a woman finds herself in an unexpected pregnancy, the emotions can be overwhelming. Many women feel that they aren’t in a position to parent a child, but they don’t want to have an abortion. The other option they often hear about is adoption: allowing another family to provide a home for their child. About […]
An adoption is a beautiful option, not only for a woman faced with an unplanned pregnancy but also for families who desire to raise a child. Although every adoption process is as unique, there are a few things that tend to be routine. Whether you are interested in adoption or looking to learn more, here […]
Governor Newsom, Proposition 1 will be detrimental to women in California who deserve not shame and discouragement, but support, empowerment and encouragement when facing an unplanned pregnancy. When an ad campaign, paid by California taxpayers, targets women—notably in areas near universities and where minorities reside—you are telling women they are not capable of carrying a […]

The science behind the pro-life position is airtight. All the evidence is on our side. But when it comes to lovingly communicating the truth about abortion to friends, relatives, acquaintances and even strangers? That is an art form, and Stephanie Gray seeks in her little book Love Unleashes Life: Abortion and the Art of Communicating […]
“The tongue has the power of life and death,” Proverbs 18:21 Our words hold the power of life and death.

Others have a […]

We have been transparent about these events every step of […]
Misinformation about the effects of the overturning of Roe v. Wade has left many confused about whether they should support the pro-life movement. With pressures from society suggesting the only compassionate side is the pro-choice side, many Christians are being challenged in their beliefs. Can Christians support abortion? Can you be a pro-choice Christian? Although […]

Not comfortable, but honest and true.” This is how Abby Johnson begins her book Unplanned: The Dramatic True Story of a Former Planned Parenthood Leader’s Eye-Opening Journey Across the Life Line. And that is just what this […]
What is considered a late-term abortion? Late-term abortion is an abortion performed during or after the second trimester (usually about 20 weeks) of the pregnancy.

With the recent overturning of […]

All pregnancies require both a woman and a man’s active participation. So, it stands to reason that the same applies to the journey of seeking abortion or choosing life.

Being a mom isn’t for the faint of heart. Motherhood and mental health is definitely something that needs to be talked about, but even I shied away from the topic. I remember the night I finally had a breakdown and realized I needed help. Sitting in my car in the garage, alone, just so that I […]
This year I turned 55. I’m very content with my life and know how blessed I am with good health, friends since childhood, and a family that loves me unconditionally. Even though I lost my adoptive mom when I was eight years old, became a widow at age 44, and was nearly paralyzed in a […]

The abortion industry is rapidly switching to chemical abortion, also known as the abortion pill. While many women might think this is a safer, more convenient method than a surgical procedure, there are still significant abortion pill risks that aren’t often considered.

Many accuse the pro-life movement of only caring about bringing a baby into the world. Those on the pro-choice side may say that we don’t offer women support during her pregnancy, directly afterward, and beyond. Standing in direct opposition to this claim are pregnancy resource centers (or PRCs). PRCs are the frontlines of the pro-life […]
When Amy Ford discovered she was pregnant at the age of 19, she didn’t think to go to the church. Amy grew up as a regular attendee but, “it was the last place I felt safe to go to get prayer and advice and help.” Embrace Grace seeks to change this experience for single women who […]
