With abortion banned, a crisis pregnancy center plots a $10-million waterfront expansion for the post-Roe era.
the organization had seven employees and a budget of about $125,000, tax returns show.
Looking at the center’s website, even antiabortion donors are confused. Occasionally, Pinson said, she’ll get angry phone calls from conservative members of the community, demanding to know why the Pregnancy Center of the Coastal Bend is talking about abortion. On a recent Wednesday morning in July, Pinson drove 30 minutes to a branch of her pregnancy center in Calallen, Tex., where she has been piloting what she refers to as their “prenatal care program.” Housed in a medical plaza, next to several doctor’s offices, the center offers blood tests, ultrasounds and ultimately a referral to an OB/GYN during the client’s second trimester.When she became executive director, Pinson quickly amped up what she calls the center’s medical offerings.
Whenever Pinson’s staff sees what they think might be an ectopic or a molar pregnancy — potentially life-threatening conditions that crop up at her centers a few times a year — they text a photo to one of the medical directors, who advises on whether the client should be sent to the emergency room. Even without a doctor on-site, Pinson said she feels “phenomenally confident” that they will catch any serious complications.
Andrew Folley, Pinson’s only medical director who will participate in abortion reversal, said he has “no concerns” about the procedure, which he says he has facilitated a handful of times since Pinson’s center started offering the service a year ago. The doctor is open about his reasons for prescribing progesterone and volunteering at the center.
The Texas program has garnered sharp criticism for its failure to provide detailed information on how this ballooning pot of money is used. “We have staff that are committed to share Christ with every girl that walks through that door,” Pinson said in a 2019Pinson will refer women who need additional support to local churches, which she says do “a beautiful job of coming around mamas and walking them through.”was overturned, Pinson said she’s heard from a lot of angry abortion rights advocates, demanding to know how she intends to help the women she helps convince to carry to term.
