Family Research Council President Tony Perkins made the following comments
"There has been much discussion about information and outreach concerning parenting, primary prevention, and pregnancy support. This report lays out the untold story of centers that provide caring and compassionate services to at least 1.9 million people each year at little or no cost to the clients, in large part thanks to private charity and the high proportion of volunteers who work at the centers.
"As the national debate over health care continues to unfold, the work of the nation's more-than-2,300 nonprofit pregnancy resource centers in support of maternal and child health and well-being deserves to be affirmed and supported.
"Pregnancy Resource Centers support a vision of true reproductive health and are model faith-based providers meeting a pressing national need."
