A young mother of three went to a local abortion clinic in Greenville, SC, prepared to abort her fourth child. She had such turmoil in her life; she was working hard in her job and couldn't see how a new baby could possibly fit in her own goals and dreams.

As she drove into the abortionist's parking lot, she glanced at the small, white house next door and saw a sign that read "Piedmont Women's Center -- Free pregnancy test - Free limited OB ultrasounds."

Upon arriving at the abortion clinic she learned she would have to pay a surprising extra $150 for the required ultrasound. Not having the extra money, she remembered the "Free Ultrasound" sign at the Pregnancy Center. She cancelled her appointment and drove next door.

Over and over the young mother cried, "And to think I almost killed my babies!" Some say that a picture is worth a thousand words. But a woman who gets to see an ultrasound might say it's priceless.

All Pregnancy Medical Clinics in the Option Ultrasound Program provide limited obstetrical ultrasound as medically indicated. Clinics are licensed to operate under the supervision of a physician, using only trained sonographers. Focus on the Family does not endorse the use of ultrasound outside of a medical clinic setting and does not endorse the use of ultrasound for non-medical reasons. Patient referrals are made to physicians for follow-up diagnosis and care as needed.
