Many issues in our community are heavily debated, but I believe our concern for women who have an unplanned pregnancy is not one of them. Because of this concern, I would like to make women in this position aware of two totally free and confidential resources: the Pregnancy Choices Clinic in Mount Vernon (www.pregnancychoices.org, 360-428-4777) and the Pregnancy Care Clinic in Oak Harbor, (www.islandspcc.org, 800-675-2096). Both clinics offer free pregnancy testing, with immediate results, free OB ultrasounds, free maternity and baby boutique, and more. In a non-judgmental, totally confidential manner they can help you to sort out your feelings and emotions and share facts and information you will need to make your own choices.
