Pregnancy Tests
Fast, free, and 99% accurate, our pregnancy tests provide the answer to the question that can change your life forever: "Am I pregnant?" If your test result is positive, you have a wealth of information available right here as you start to process the news and its impact on your life.
Viability Sonograms
If you are considering abortion, it is important to make sure your pregnancy is viable. A viable pregnancy means one that is capable of developing under normal conditions. Approximately 30% of all pregnancies result in miscarriage. An abortion performed when a pregnancy is not viable can result in unnecessary physical and emotional trauma and unnecessary expense. We offer free, state-of-the-art sonograms as early as 7 weeks in pregnancy to determine viability if you are considering abortion.
Accurate Information
So many circumstances can complicate the prospect of pregnancy: relationship struggles, financial strain, difficult timing. Our client advocates, well-trained and experienced, give each woman the time she needs to discuss her individual situation, explore all her options, and work through the problems the pregnancy may create for her.

Support
Referrals for Community Services
If we are unable to provide the services a woman needs, we will direct her to someone who can. Our referral database can help women make the connections they need. Please note, however, we do not refer for abortions.
Friendship
At the LPC we know one of the most important needs of a new mother is emotional support. Our peer counselors support expectant and new mothers by offering clients friendship throughout their pregnancies and into motherhood.
Prevention
Sexuality & Abstinence Counseling
In our mission to prevent unplanned pregnancies, emotional heartbreak, and the spread of STDs often associated with premarital sex, the LPC offers abstinence counseling to individual clients and presentations in group settings. We provide the facts about STDs and the benefits of abstinence until marriage. We know that saving sex for marriage fosters healthy relationships and bright futures.
Healing
After-Abortion Support
Nearly everyone agrees that the choice to end a pregnancy is an enormously difficult one to make, yet few community resources exist to address the emotional turmoil women may experience afterward. Our after-abortion counseling provides a confidential way for women to work through their feelings and find healing, individually or as part of a small group. E-Mail Cheryl at nhisarms@comcast.net
