Not only do we provide the services listed above, we also offer a safe place to have these conversations. Most of the staff that works here at PPS have experienced abortion, unplanned pregnancy, sex outside of marriage, and/or teen pregnancy. Because of our own experiences and knowing that nearly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned, and almost half of those pregnancies will end in abortion, is what compels us to serve our community. We can do better than abortion and there is hope for our families.
If you are reading this and facing an unexpected pregnancy and can't possibly see how you can keep the pregnancy, please reach out for help. Although it may be a crisis situation, the crisis won't last forever. There are women and men here at PPS who have been in your shoes, who are for you, and here to walk along side with you.

What is abortion?
Guttmacher recently reported that medical abortions make up just over 60% of all documented abortions in the U.S. (Jones, R. K., & Friedrich-Karnik, A. , 2024). As with any medication or medical procedure, it is important that you are fully informed about the procedure, possible risks, and side effects from each one.
The videos that follow are presented by OB/GYNs who have performed abortions. These videos walk through exactly how an abortion is performed and the risks involved. These short videos are a must see for anyone who is considering or vulnerable to abortion or knows of someone who is! Click on each picture to watch and learn more!
