Saskatoon Pregnancy Options Centre

About Us You may have some questions about who we are and what we do. Below are answers to some commonly asked questions, but please feel free to contact us with any other questions you may be wondering about! Q. Are you Pro-Life or are you Pro-Choice? A. "Pro-life", "Anti-abortion", and "Pro-choice" are labels that come with much pre-conception and polarization, so we do not use them. We are pro-woman, pro-family and pro-information. We believe good choices depend on access to accurate information and compassionate support. Informed consent is a right and we offer information in an objective and pressure-free environment. Q. Are you anti-abortion? A. We understand that the decision to have or not have an abortion is complicated, stressful and life-changing. We respect the autonomy of our clients and we value and care for them regardless of their decision. We believe that every pregnant woman should have the support and resources to safely carry her pregnancy to term. While we do not help arrange for abortions, we do not obstruct our clients' decision to have one. Q. Are you a Christian organization? A. All those who work and volunteer at SPOC profess a belief in Jesus Christ. We offer services to all people based on our commitment to love our neighbours as ourselves. Humans have physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and we encourage our clients to identify and explore their own faith or philosophical belief systems. In this way we care for the whole person. We are always ready to engage in spiritual conversations with our clients on any level if they are comfortable. Among our clients are a variety of faith traditions: 25% have a background in Christianity, 25% profess no faith tradition, 15% are Muslim, 4% identify as Hindu, 4 % as having Native spirituality. Other clients have identified as Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Buddhists and Pagans. Still have questions?
