Empowering those most vulnerable to abortion to choose life
Who We Are
We empower abortion-vulnerable women to choose life. Since 1985, our Centers have provided life-affirming pregnancy services to thousands of families in Pittsburgh. In 2009, our Centers re-organized as Women's Choice Network. We serve at three medical clinics in Oakland, Monroeville, and the North Side and our Administrative Offices are located in Wexford.
What We Do
Our Medical Clinics provide free services including pregnancy testing, STD testing and treatment, sonograms, medical consultations, and life-saving alternatives to abortion, including abortion pill reversal. Clients are also offered adoption referrals, post-abortion care, and education on healthy relationships, all under the care of a Medical Director and fully credentialed staff. Through our Wellness Program, clients can participate in childbirth and parenting classes, build mentoring relationships, and earn essential items like clothing, formula, and baby gear for up to two years. We also reach into schools, churches, and community groups to share the message of sexual integrity and the Sanctity of Human Life.
Who We Serve
We serve individuals and families across Pittsburgh who are facing unplanned pregnancies, offering hope, support, and life-affirming options. Our care extends to those who are struggling with the pain of past abortions, providing a path toward healing and restoration. We also walk alongside those at risk, offering education and resources that empower them to make informed, life-honoring decisions. Through all we do, we invite our communities to embrace a Biblical view of sexuality and join us in building a culture that defends the unborn and values every life.
Our Four Distinctives
We believe that these four distinctives are the key to our success.
We Are Faith Based
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is central to all that we do.
We Value People
We are intentional about loving people where they are while opening up opportunities to be all they can be. We serve both men and women regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or creed.
We Are Medical
Three Medical Directors oversee our team. Each Center is staffed by RNs.
Ultrasounds are performed by RDMS specialists and read by our Physicians. STD testing & treatment is available at all of our locations. We provide abortion pill reversal to those who’ve begun a medical abortion.
We Are Transformational
Our programs foster long term relationships. Our Centers are located in easily accessible areas near those with the greatest need so that face-to-face encounters can continue. Life Support, Doctor Dad, and Breathe After Abortion Care are vital long-term programs that allow healing, growth, and life transforming relationships.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AMY SCHEURING
The world has changed...
After serving with this ministry for nearly 40 years, I can honestly say it never gets old. At every encounter our clients share intimate and deeply personal facets of their lives. In our offices there is freedom to express and confess brokenness, fear, dysfunction, confusion, and sexual sin. We are often the first to know our clients’ secrets, the first to see their unborn child, and sadly at times, the only ones who will mourn when that child is aborted. And, as each client shares their story, we have an amazing opportunity to bring the love of Christ and the message of hope to their unique and personal experiences.
​
Our pregnancy centers opened soon after the disastrous Roe v Wade decision when abortion was mandated in every state at any time and for any reason. In 1992, Pennsylvania championed the Abortion Control Act which boldly challenged the ruling and opened the door for States to add common sense protections for women and the unborn. Our state was also the first to direct funding toward abortion alternatives. The modest program allowed small pregnancy centers to form in nearly every county in the state and has been replicated in states across the US. But the world has changed. Our “keystone” state has recently defunded the centers offering alternatives and is threatening to rescind the hard-fought protections for women and babies. Our work has been publicly maligned, misrepresented, and vilified in the media. Legislation is already being written that will restrict our work and limit our ability to offer medical services like abortion pill reversal. And here at home, our city has been named a sanctuary city for abortion.
​
We are literally at a point where we are advocating for our very existence.
​
It is time to take up the fight with compassion and clarity. I hope our ministry will inspire you to stand with those most vulnerable. Young moms and dads, and the tiny babies they carry, need your voice and your engagement now more than ever. Because of you, we’ve been able to expand our reach and work to become a sanctuary city where life is welcomed and supported. Thank you for your partnership in this holy work!
My Precious Friends,
