Caring Network Needs Us to Meet Increasing Needs in Illinois
Sarah Lindquist
TELECARE INITIATIVE
Caring Network seeks to open a Telecare clinic of skilled experts who provide virtual consultations and support to help women considering abortions and those who have already taken the first abortion pill and are having second thoughts. More than half of Illinois abortions now happen at home. Abortion medications can be purchased through abortion clinics and by mail, without even a visit to a medical professional for an exam to determine if the pregnancy is ectopic or normal and the age of the preborn baby. Through the Caring Network telecare center model, even clients from out of the area will be able to make in-person appointments at pregnancy resource centers near them, receive abortion pill reversal services and find support for those who are not seeking face-to-face assistance.
A COLLEGE CHURCH INVITATION
Caring Network Annual Banquet: Thursday, October 20, 6 p.m. at Drury Lane, Oak Brook
