Ultrasound Pictures



Here are a couple of ultrasound pictures that we have taken over the past few months. Many women come to Pregnancy Resource Center for a free pregnancy test and some are looking for an abortion. For a woman with a positive pregnancy test that is between 6 and 14 weeks, we offer a free ultrasound. For the women considering abortion, seeing the ultrasound is a heart transforming experience that leads to a change of mind more than 80% of the time.

For example:

Autumn was not satisfied with the results of the pregnancy test that she had taken at home. Autumn came to the Pregnancy Resource Center hoping for a different result. The pressures of her senior year and a promise to her late father to finish high school lead her to conclude that a pregnancy would only get in the way. Additionally, her boyfriend was not supportive, and money was tight. She said that if her pregnancy test was positive, then she would have to get an abortion.

Autumn’s volunteer counselor assured her that she would still be able to finish high school, as the estimated due date for the baby was after her graduation date. Her counselor provided her with the names of organizations willing to provide material services to help women who choose life for their children, and she explained to Autumn the physical, emotional, and spiritual risks associated with having an abortion. Autumn loves Jesus and knows that God does not want her to have an abortion.

After reviewing her positive pregnancy test and a video explaining the abortion procedure, Autumn was still abortion minded. The counselor suggested that Autumn have an ultrasound before making a decision and prayed with the family for God to reveal Himself and for His will to be done.

Autumn and her family returned the next day for the ultrasound and, prior to the ultrasound, Autumn revealed to her counselor that she and her mom had talked and she decided to keep her baby. God changed her heart. During the ultrasound, Autumn heard her baby’s heartbeat and was thrilled.
