West Virginia Gov. Signs Law Providing Funding for PRCs

In stark contrast to the anti-PRC bill currently being considered by the Illinois General Assembly, West Virginia just enacted legislation providing funding to these organizations.

Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRCs) help pregnant women who need assistance. PRCs help these women by providing ultrasounds, financial assistance, parental counseling, baby food, and/or diapers. Most PRCs offer these things free of charge. They function as charities, not businesses (unlike abortion clinics).

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice signed the Support for Mothers and Babies Act on March 28. Justice held a ceremony for the signing at CrossRoads Pregnancy Center in Charleston.

In addition to funding for PRCs, West Virginia's new law provides adoption incentives for West Virginia families.

“West Virginians elected an overwhelming majority of pro-life legislators to fight for babies, women, and families to be protected from the abortion industry,” West Virginians for Life legislative director Sadie Keaton said. “Thank you to all who fight for our most vulnerable, and work tirelessly to create a culture of life in West Virginia.”
