Heartbeat International (crisis pregnancy center network)
Heartbeat International is an international Christian association of 1,800 crisis pregnancy centers, providing assistance in education, training, support services, and networking with other centers. It does not "offer, recommend, or refer for abortions or abortifacients."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Commitment )〕 It is the largest CPC network in the world.
Heartbeat International started in 1971 under the name Alternatives to Abortion, in response to increased liberalization of abortion laws in several states, which would eventually culminate in ''Roe v. Wade'', making abortion legal across the United States. Its founders believed that legalizing abortion would result in more, not fewer, abortions, as (in their opinion) women would be pressured into choosing abortion. Therefore, Alternatives to Abortion started as a humanitarian organization to provide a "safety net" of emergency pregnancy support as a counter to the pressure to abort. The organization adopted its current name in 1993.
Heartbeat describes itself as a "Christian association" whose materials are "consistent with Biblical principles."
Heartbeat International is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, United States.
