At Crystal Women’s Clinic, we aim to follow up with every woman who visits our clinic for pregnancy confirmation. Some don't respond or ask not to be contacted, while others appreciate our ongoing support. We are pleased to share that the following women have chosen life! Join us in celebrating their decisions and continue to pray for their journey into motherhood, ensuring they receive the necessary support and resources.

- “Cameron” came to the clinic to confirm her pregnancy and go over her options. She planned to abort, but she was also thinking of adoption as an option. Her boyfriend was supportive of any decision she made. During the ultrasound, “Cameron” was in awe, smiling and laughing. She stated, “I got to see my baby’s heartbeat!”. She came back for a follow-up ultrasound, and before she even got into the ultrasound room, she said she and her boyfriend had decided to parent. They enjoyed the follow-up ultrasound even more this time.
- “Lesley” wanted pre-abortion testing. With two children already, another pregnancy was not practical, especially since the baby's father was not in the picture. During her ultrasound, she discovered she was much further along than expected. Her decision to abort changed to being undecided. Three weeks later, a follow-up call by an advocate revealed that “Lesley” was visiting with the father of the baby and decided to parent, and she was interested in the parenting classes.
- “Karla” was hoping to confirm her pregnancy so she could make a decision. This pregnancy was unexpected, and finances were tight with plans to buy a house. An addition to the family could change that plan. An inconclusive ultrasound gave “Karla” time to discuss things with the father of the baby. On her return visit, before an ultrasound could even be done, “Karla” told the advocate she was going to parent.
- “Jackie” was very emotional coming to the clinic. She didn’t know how far along she was. Life circumstances were difficult, and facing them would be an uphill battle. During the ultrasound, “Jackie” was surprised to hear the heartbeat. She said, “It’s alive?”. She was in shock, but with the resources given to her, “Jackie” found the support to meet all her needs. She decided to keep her baby.
- “Kari” had planned to abort her pregnancy. Being young and already having a very young child, it was too much. After seeing how far along she was through an ultrasound, she became overwhelmed and couldn’t make the decision to abort. Parenting classes, additional resources, the support to carry from the father of the baby and their mothers all helped her to move forward in keeping her baby.
- Please continue praying for Lizie, Nicole, Rita, Carmen, Gloria, Kelly, Tonya, Mandy, Gwen, Rosa, Talia, Steph, and Andrea as these women have chosen to abort or we have been unable to reach them.
There are various reasons why women may feel pressured to abort. It can be due to health issues, financial burdens, job loss, family circumstances, or lack of support. Others may choose abortion to pursue their dreams and goals without the responsibilities of parenting.
For whatever reason, it is that pushes them to choose abortion, pray that they may come to encounter God’s mercy and truth in their lives. Pray that through this difficult decision, they become more aware of the value of all life.
We can’t thank you all enough for your persistent prayers for our staff and the women that we serve. Every day, we witness the miracle of your prayers and are so grateful to walk with you in this ministry. God Bless!
