“In the Dobbs decision, the Court returned policymaking about the very important issue of abortion to the people,” said Attorney General Lynn Fitch. “The task now falls to us to empower women and promote life with laws that reflect our respect for the dignity of women, children, and life itself. As we  celebrate the one-year anniversary of this landmark decision, we are asking people to come around women facing the challenges of unplanned pregnancy or new motherhood with love and support by donating needed items to the  pregnancy centers that empower women all across the nation, every day.”

“At the heart of the Pro-Life Movement is love for both mother and child. With the one-year anniversary of Dobbs on the horizon, we celebrate the unborn lives saved and mothers helped through the faithful service and  compassionate care of the more than 2,700 pregnancy centers and maternity homes

nationwide,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. “In stark contrast to the abortion industry’s one-size-fits-all ‘solution’ of abortion, the Pro-Life Movement offers resources and a community of support that empowers women and their babies to thrive. We are grateful to all in our Her PLAN community, the pregnancy center movement, and Attorney General Fitch for boldly building a pro-life America that supports babies and mothers.”

Across the U.S., there are more than 2,700 pregnancy centers that provide loving care and practical support to women and their children. Mississippi is home to more than 30 of these life-affirming pregnancy resource centers that provide care and practical support to women and babies before and after birth. In 2019 alone, these centers provided $1.9 million in services and materials  to more than 12,000 people.“

Donating key parenting supplies is such an easy and practical way to show support of life-affirming organizations that exist to help provide women compassionate care and support when they need it most,” said Andrea Trudden, Vice President of Communications & Marketing for Heartbeat International. “Your heart feels good when you help someone in need. By skipping a meal out to buy a box of diapers for a pregnancy center,  you bless a family in a mighty way.”
