History and Current Status

Established as a faith-based, charitable 501 (c )3 organization in 1984 and opening to receive clients in 1985, the Women’s Resource Medical Centers of Southern Nevada is currently celebrating three decades of service.

Statistics from the Center for Disease Control and the Alan Guttmacher Institute indicate that 93% of all abortions occur because of social or economic reasons and that 50% of women who have had an abortion in the past are more likely to have another. Nevada has been identified as one of the top 10 “at risk” states for high abortion rates. Recent statistics from the state of Nevada show that 69% of women having abortions are economically disadvantaged. Nevada is ranked 48th of the 50 states for its high percent of births to mothers with little or no prenatal care. If given early enough, prenatal care helps to prevent congenital malformations, low birth weight and infant death. Congenital malformations are now the leading cause of infant mortality in the U.S. and the fear of not being able to access or afford prenatal care is one of the top drivers that lead women to consider abortion.

Since 1985 we have personally met with some of these women and we have found that the majority of them would not choose abortion if they simply had someone to assist them in their circumstance. The organization acts as a charity and is not a political entity. All of the services that we offer are free of charge to our clients.

Community Impact

Our impact is no longer understated. The Associated Press recently released the results of a study that was conducted that found a nationwide decrease in abortion from 2010 to 2015 of 12%. As the study was broken down by state, it compared the number of abortions performed by the accessibility of obtaining an abortion. The study found that without passing any new legislation to restrict or limit abortion and without any clinics closing, the state of Nevada realized a 22% decline in abortions performed. The average number of abortions performed in our state is 11,000 per year. Within that same time period, the Women’s Resource Medical Centers of Southern Nevada saved 10,008 babies who were vulnerable to abortion.

Post Abortion Support Groups

The Forgotten Fathers program is the same format as H.E.A.R.T., but designed specifically for post abortive men. The groups are made up of only those whom have personally experienced abortion and are the groups are led by post-abortive men and women who have received healing and have been trained to facilitate H.E.A.R.T. and Forgotten Fathers groups.
