As we investigate ways to dissuade mothers-to-be from abortion, we’ve been extremely encouraged to learn that women who see their babies on ultrasound are far less likely to seek abortions than those without access to such an option.

It is becoming increasingly clear that ultrasound technology carries the potential to save a significant number of lives.

For this reason, Focus on the Family proposes to help equip 650 additional Pregnancy Resource Centers with ultrasound machines by the year 2010. You can read here to see how to help us with the Option Ultrasound™ Program.

Due to the substantial cost of each machine - approximately $25,000- $40,000 per unit- and the various expenses related to training PRC staff in the use of ultrasounds, Focus will require a measure of financial accountability from each PRC that receives a machine as a result of this program.

Focus on the Family Option Ultrasound™ Program will provide 80% of the ultrasound machine purchase or 80% of the training required if a machine is already in place and a center is needing training only.
