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 | ||
