The Option Ultrasound program, a ministry outreach of
Focus on the Family, announced Thursday that more than 200
ultrasound machines have been placed in pregnancy resource
centers. As a result, thousands of women have chosen life
for their preborn babies.
In February 2004, Option Ultrasound began making
ultrasound technology and sonography training available to
medical clinics that met professional requirements. The
hope is to place 650 units by 2010.
Kim Conroy, sanctity of human life director for Focus on
the Family, said abortion-minded women have been given the
chance to receive vital medical services.
"Those who are considering abortion need to know the
emotional and physical toll this procedure could have on
them, and they deserve the chance to see their baby face
to face before they make this life-changing decision," she
said. "Women have been fed a lie by abortionists and
deserve factual information regarding their pregnancy."
Conroy estimated that more than 6,300 babies have been
saved after a mother viewed the image of her preborn child
on the screen of an ultrasound machine placed by Option
Ultrasound. In fact, 84 percent of abortion-minded women
who received an ultrasound at a pregnancy resource center
made a decision for life.
