house resolution no.104
Reps. O'Malley, Brann, Beeler, Hall, Posthumus, Bollin, Wozniak, Allor, Bezotte, Calley and Whitsett offered the following resolution:
Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the life-giving impact on the physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing of the citizens of Michigan that we proudly recognize the work being done by each pregnancy resource center throughout our state; and
Whereas, Whether through the administering of free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds, STD testing and treatment, or the distributing of limitless amounts of children’s clothing, diapers and baby food, the compassionate and judgement-free advocacy exhibited by local pregnancy centers have had a significant and positive impact in Michigan. In 2019 alone, approximately 90 pregnancy resource centers delivered services and materials valued at more than $6.2 million, serving nearly 53,500 women, men, youth, and families. Many of Michigan’s pregnancy resource centers have been in operation for three decades or more; and
Whereas, Pregnancy resource centers provide a sizeable and skillful allocation of effort affirming the gift of human life in their respective communities and show tangible support for pregnant women and families alike. Their goal is to support in real ways those facing the unique challenges of an unexpected pregnancy; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 13, 2021, as Pregnancy Resource Center Awareness Day in the state of Michigan. We hereby salute the thousands of pregnancy resource center staffers and volunteers in Michigan on this occasion and wish them great success in the years to come.
