According to the recently released Alternatives to Abortion (A2A) 2022 report—which is mandated under the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, the government agency that implemented the program—pro-life pregnancy centers have successfully helped both men and women facing unplanned pregnancies in the aftermath of the state's enactment of a strict abortion ban.

After the historic overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, a trigger law was finally able to take effect. The legislation prohibits abortion throughout pregnancy with the single exception of when deemed "necessary" to spare the mother serious physical harm. Even in such cases, medical professionals are required to do all they can to give the child the best prognosis.

"During the fiscal year 2022, the A2A program contracted with four entities: Austin LifeCare (ALC), Human Coalition (HC), Longview Wellness Center (LWC) [and] Texas Pregnancy Care Network (TPCN)," the report states.

The A2A services provided at various locations through the four pro-life organizations include "education, care coordination, material goods, housing, and support through maternity homes." The services are "available to pregnant women, their families, and adoptive parents."

In 2022, "the four contractors provided services at a total of 179 physical locations, two virtual clinics and 10 mobile units." The A2A program effectively "served a total of 113,125 unduplicated clients who received 2,230,713 services and 178,240 referrals to government assistance and social service programs"...
