SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 119
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas 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 offer free or low-cost
pregnancy tests and sonograms, emotional support, and education
and 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
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
84th Legislature, hereby recognize the founders, staff, and
volunteers of Pregnancy Resource Centers across the state for the
services they provide to women facing unexpected pregnancy and
