Mission Statement
Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic is a Christian ministry that exists to make the choice of life possible for those in our community when challenged with a pregnancy by educating, encouraging and equipping them so that they may make good choices for themselves and their families.
Any pregnancy that is unplanned, unexpected, and or unwanted may be considered a crisis pregnancy. Those experiencing a crisis pregnancy have four alternatives to consider: abortion, adoption, foster care, or parenting. RPCC desires to help the pregnant woman who is in a state of crisis to understand and work through these alternatives. By doing this, RPCC intends to enable her to make an informed decision concerning the outcome of her pregnancy. RPCC also seeks to provide counsel for any other person that is in crisis because of this pregnancy.
For those who decide to carry the baby to term, the center provides education, limited medical services, emotional support, referrals to other agencies and material aid to meet the mental, physical, medical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Guiding Principles
RPCC openly acknowledges to the client and the community that it places value upon all human life, from conception onward. Abortion ends human life prematurely and unnaturally. Therefore, abortion is an unacceptable alternative.
Each woman is responsible for her own decision, and RPCC is responsible for providing her with accurate information about the alternative ways of coping with a crisis pregnancy.
RPCC never advises, provides, or refers for abortion or abortifacients, such as some forms of contraceptives.
RPCC believes that abstinence is the most effective and God-honoring form of birth control. The Center offers education on abstinence to unmarried women.
RPCC’s assistance is completely confidential and provided free of charge.
Compassionate counseling is provided for the woman who needs healing from a previous abortion.
RPCC recognizes the value of adoption as an alternative to abortion, but is not biased toward adoption when compared to the other life-saving alternatives. RPCC is not an adoption agency, but relates to adoption agencies in the same manner as to other helpful referral sources. RPCC neither initiates, nor facilitates independent adoptions.
In presenting the love of Christ through its ministry, RPCC never discriminates because of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, age, or marital status.
