There are some places throughout Niagara and Canada that pretend to offer abortion support to people who are pregnant, but are actually anti-abortion Christian agencies that purposefully mislead clients and provide false information in an effort to prevent a person from accessing abortion. These are called Unregulated Pregnancy Centres (also called Crisis Pregnancy Centres) and they should be avoided.
There are four Unregulated Pregnancy Centres in Niagara that should be avoided. They are:
- South Niagara Life Centre Ministries – Fort Erie and Port Colbourne (two locations)
- Grimsby Life Centre – Grimsby
- Niagara Life Centre – St. Catharines
- Clarity Pregnancy Options – Welland and St. Catharines (two locations)
- Previously known as Elisha House
- They also run Insight Biblical Counselling and work with Unborn Images 3D 4D Ultrasound Studio.
As many pregnant folks seeking abortion are often referred to Hamilton, here is a list of UPC’s in the area to avoid.
- Hamilton Right to Life
- Birthright Hamilton
- Atwell Centre – Hamilton
- Project Rachel (Diocese of Hamilton)
