“I came to Care Net for a quick, free pregnancy test,” Ashley recalls. “The abortion clinics I called required money upfront, and I didn’t have any.”
An appointment at Care Net changed several lives that day. “The staff were wonderful, caring, even loving. I listened politely, took their literature, even saw the ultrasound, but I left knowing what I would do next. Abortion was still my plan.”
But God had other plans for Ashley and her unborn son, Bryce. “I had an abortion when I was a teen,” she recalls, “and I swore I’d never do that again. But here I was.” She learned that Care Net offers options counseling, parenting resources, community referrals . . . even free post-abortion support for mothers who chose that path.
For weeks after that visit to Care Net, Ashley wrestled with her decision. “They’d call, then I’d call. I finally came back to talk, and that’s the day I accepted Christ into my heart. And soon after I decided to keep my baby!”
Having a baby can be a beautiful experience. But for a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy, panic can overwhelm any joy — especially if she’s young, single, and afraid, like Ashley.

“I’m so thankful I didn’t abort. My son is here for a reason”
At Care Net Peninsula, we believe that when women have the help and hope they need they choose life for their baby.
God is our shield. Meditate on that. He protects us from things that we don’t even see coming, holds himself between threats and dangers, and delivers us as armor does a soldier, from a place of death to a place of life, over and over again.
Occasionally after a client comes in for an appointment, we ask if she’d consider filling out a testimony survey. Often these are the “mind-changed” clients. Women who came to see us who were planning on having an abortion, but after talking with an advocate, chose life for their baby.
anuary is a month of memory in the prolife community. It can feel monumentally heavy as we remember how many years abortion has now been legalized in America. However, it is a month dedicated to the Sanctity of Human Life; the sacredness of God’s creation. It points to His holiness and kindness in making something so precious. It encourages hope and praise.
As a staff, we are so grateful for the provision of time that our donors give us to make space and sit down and talk with women. For this woman, this literally allowed us to meet with the woman again before she went to the abortion clinic.
