A claim has been going viral on social media: “Pregnancy centers are under attack, but they’re helping more women than ever.” While that might sound like another political headline, the numbers behind it tell a real and powerful story. In 2024, pregnancy resource centers across the U.S. helped nearly four million people. That’s not just a rumor — it’s backed by a detailed report from several major pro-life organizations.
The report, titled “A Legacy of Life & Love 2025,” was put together by the Charlotte Lozier Institute and other pro-life groups. It shows that 2,775 pregnancy centers served 3.8 million men and women last year. These services were worth an estimated $452 million. That includes everything from free ultrasounds and pregnancy tests to baby clothes, diapers, and parenting classes.
Despite offering these services, many of these centers are facing strong opposition — especially from Democratic lawmakers and attorneys general in blue states like New York, California, and New Jersey. These officials claim that the centers spread “misinformation” because they don’t offer or promote abortion. Some state leaders have even sued them for offering what’s known as “abortion pill reversal.”
Abortion pill reversal is a process that’s used when a woman changes her mind after taking the first pill in a medication abortion. The first pill, mifepristone, blocks a hormone needed to continue pregnancy. The reversal treatment uses progesterone to help the body continue the pregnancy. According to the report, more than 7,000 babies have been saved using this method as of June 2025.
One woman named Aagust shared her story in the report. While in nursing school in Florida, she took an abortion pill and then immediately regretted her decision. She reached out to Mosaic Sexual Health Clinic, a pregnancy center that offers abortion pill reversal. Her baby, Carter Jay, was born healthy. “He is the smartest, most active little boy ever and I love him so much,” she said. “God used Mosaic to save my baby and I am forever grateful.”
But while pregnancy centers are saving lives and offering real support, pro-abortion activists are using shield laws to send abortion pills into states where abortion is restricted or banned. These shield laws, passed in states like New York, protect doctors and abortion groups from legal consequences when they ship pills into places like Texas or Tennessee. On average, 12,330 unborn babies are aborted each month using these mail-order abortion drugs, according to the report.
Pro-life lawmakers and organizations are calling on the Trump administration to push back against the FDA rules that allow these pills to be sent through the mail without in-person doctor visits. They argue that it’s dangerous and illegal in many states, yet the federal government under Biden never took action to stop it. Now, under President Trump, many hope that will change.
Meanwhile, pregnancy centers are being dragged into legal battles. In New Jersey, Attorney General Matthew Platkin issued a huge subpoena to a Christian pregnancy center, demanding private information about its donors. That case is now heading to the U.S. Supreme Court, where justices will decide whether that subpoena goes too far and violates the group’s rights.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has also sued 11 pregnancy centers for promoting abortion pill reversal. In California, pro-life groups are facing similar lawsuits. And in 2022, Senator Elizabeth Warren openly said that pregnancy centers should be “shut down all around the country.”
Even with all this pressure, the pregnancy centers are expanding. In 2024, they served over a million new clients and gave out $116 million in baby items — a 48% increase since 2022. About 80% of these centers offer free or low-cost medical care, and more than 10,000 medical professionals work or volunteer there.
While the fight over abortion continues in America, one thing is clear: pregnancy resource centers are quietly helping more women and families every year. They’re not flashy. They don’t get big headlines. But for women like Aagust and babies like Carter Jay, their impact is life-changing — and impossible to ignore.
