A social service organization that is within my area is the pro-life pregnancy centers. These centers are known for fighting for the lives of unborn children. In addition, they also ensure that women know how to properly tend to their pregnancy needs. These centers provide information in regards to adoption, STD testing, community resources available and proper prenatal care. As of this January, they are now required to provide abortion information as well. This information includes abortion counseling and procedures provided (Michelle, 2015).
