With just a little bit of generosity, amazing miracles can occur.

I was reminded of this fact this past weekend, when a woman came up to me at church to hand me a baby bottle filled with coins. She was participating in a baby bottle blessing project launched at our church by a local pregnancy medical clinic.

This incredible center will take those quarters and use them to help support its wondrous work. That much-needed work includes everything from providing ultrasound images of preborn babies to helping men adjust to the responsibilities of fatherhood.

Sadly, this facility and so many others throughout Pennsylvania have faced a shortfall of funds because of pro-abortion Democrat Josh Shapiro’s decision to erase state funding from Real Alternatives, which administered Pennsylvania’s Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services program. The program served more than 350,000 women over nearly three decades, offering them everything from diapers to day care referrals, from maternity clothes to mentoring.

Indeed, Pennsylvania’s abortion totals would have been much higher were it not for Real Alternatives.

Politicians can claim to be “pro-woman,” but robbing pregnant women of support is decidedly anti-woman. Forcing them to go it alone during their pregnancy journeys is an assault to their freedom to reproduce. Such policies place women in harm’s way, by denying them the critical care they need.

Pregnancy centers provide hope during desperate times. State support is vitally important to ensuring that women are empowered to make life-affirming decisions for themselves and their families.

All those baby bottles will definitely not go to waste.
