Care Net Pregnancy and Resource Clinic of Casper is a Christian, life-affirming service organization providing emotional, spiritual and material support to women and families dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. Our goal is to erase the need for abortion in our
community by effectively serving pregnant, at risk women by transforming their fears into confidence. We empower women to make an informed choice about their pregnancy options. We do this by educating about abortion procedures as well as the emotional, physical and spiritual effects of abortion. In addition, it is our goal to see women healed from the sorrow and guilt that often follows abortion. We offer confirmation of pregnancy as well as education on abortion and alternatives, lifestyle, relationships and sexual health. All of our services are free of charge.
Many women find themselves in positions where they feel they have no other choice but abortion. Over 1 million abortions are performed in this country every year. Thirty to 60 percent of the women who abort report being pressured to do so. Abortion is linked with higher rates of depression, suicide and substance abuse. Unresolved abortion trauma affects marriages and families. Abortion also increases the risk of premature births. In the words of Feminists For Life, “Women Deserve Better.” Our clinic seeks to empower women to fully explore all of their choices—abortion, adoption and parenting. Our clinic is unique in that we are truly pro-woman—we provide medically accurate education and information on all options and do not stand to gain financially from any choice she makes.
The Clinic is open Tuesday (10am-4pm), Wednesday (10am-5:00pm) and Thursday (10am-4pm) and help is available 24/7 on our toll free Options Line (1-800-395-HELP). Trained pregnancy consultants are here to make sure our patients fully understand all of their options. A laboratory quality pregnancy test is administered by our staff nurse. Women who test positive and are at risk for an abortion are offered a free ultrasound performed by a registered nurse trained in limited obstetrical ultrasound. Those who have a positive test are invited to participate in our long-term patient care program, Mommy and Me. An average of 10 to 15 young women each month receive mentoring, material resources and the practical skills they need to parent or to make an adoption plan for their children through our Mommy and Me Program.
Care Net Pregnancy and Resource Clinic of Casper collaborates with many other agencies in town and is able to refer our patients for medical, financial and spiritual help. Adoption is presented in a caring, non-pressured atmosphere. Though not an adoption agency, the Clinic is in a unique position to help dispel the myths and misinformation that surround the subject of adoption. Negative test patients who are unmarried are encouraged to consider the benefits of sexual abstinence until marriage. Patients are invited to explore our Sexual Integrity Program. . We also offer lay counseling for pregnancy-related issues and for women suffering the effects of abortion, known as post-abortion syndrome. We recently added limited STD testing to our list of services.
Since our opening in 1987, more than 7500 women and families have walked through our doors.
