WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to | ||
recognize the pregnancy resource centers in this state, which offer | ||
counseling and other services to women facing unexpected pregnancy; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Pregnancy resource centers provide free or low-cost | ||
pregnancy tests and sonograms, emotional support, and education, | ||
and they work in conjunction with maternity homes and adoption | ||
centers to provide options for pregnant women; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dedicated to meeting both the immediate and the | ||
long-term needs of their clients, the centers offer a variety of | ||
classes to ensure that potential mothers-to-be have important life | ||
skills that help women of all ages and backgrounds realize their | ||
full potential as mothers and as productive members of society; | ||
courses include parenting, budget keeping, and in some locations, | ||
English as a second language; and | ||
WHEREAS, Pregnancy resource centers play a unique role in | ||
Texas and around the country; the centers provide a place of | ||
contemplation for women considering the possibility of motherhood | ||
and emphasize the need for education and mindful decision making; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
R | ||
ESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize the founders, staffs, and volunteers | ||
of pregnancy resource centers across the state for the services | ||
