Regional Context of Women's Health Resources
In the surrounding area, KC crisis pregnancy centers gain support after Roe v. Wade. Anti-abortion pregnancy resources centers in Kansas and Missouri provide counseling to people to continue pregnancies. One example is the Advice & Aid Pregnancy Center, 10901 Granada Lane, Suite 100 in Overland Park, which offers services for those dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, but not abortions. It is across a parking lot from Planned Parenthood, a health clinic and abortion provider. The two driveways are side by side on a curvy stretch of 109th Street in Overland Park.
To counter criticism that the centers don’t provide medical care, some are hiring medically trained staff and putting registered nurses in charge. “In general, the goal of a pregnancy resource center is to make abortion ‘unthinkable’ by compassionately serving women and meeting their needs through their pregnancies and after the baby is born,” said Debra Niesen, the lead consultant for Pro-Life Ministries. Currently, Advice & Aid is one of about 2,500 crisis pregnancy centers in the United States, at least a dozen of them in the Kansas City metro.
State Support and Funding
States are supporting the work of anti-abortion centers at the same time they’re banning or limiting abortion. In Kansas, where voters overwhelmingly affirmed the right to an abortion, lobbyists plan to ask for increased state funding for the centers. More money could buy more ultrasound machines, which the centers use to encourage women to carry a pregnancy to term. Missouri already led all but two states in providing tax dollars to such centers—nearly $45 million since 2010.
