For many of us, CPCs are well positioned to reach out to women in crisis with carrying support that is informed and tailored to their needs. My mind reels with all kinds of ways we could individually support these women: be ready to adopt if asked, provide mentoring to a new mom, help her find support at a CPC, pray with and for her, drive her to doctor appointments, help ensure she has a safe place to live, the list is endless.
