Mission
In a word, Human Life Services is about one thing:
compassion. We realize that many of the women facing unplanned pregnancies
don’t know where to turn for help. We’re here to serve our clients, with
compassionate, culturally relevant counseling. That counseling doesn’t end
when the women has her baby; we offer the hand of friendship as long as
the client feels the need for our services.
Our abstinence department visits schools all over the county to
pro-actively confront the problem of teen pregnancies on the front end,
and equip teens with the tools to say no and understand all of the
consequences of early sexual activity. Thirty years and billions of
taxpayer dollars devoted to condom distribution obviously aren’t getting
it done, and we think, like many, that kids need to be informed about the
pitfalls of early sexual activity.
We’re here to help anyone, regardless of situation.
MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of Human Life Services is to present the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to the community by meeting the spiritual, emotional and material
needs of both the mother and child in a crisis pregnancy; and, by
educating the public, to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE
To accomplish its purpose, Human Life Services shall operate by the
following principles:
1. Human Life Services is a Christian outreach. Therefore, HLS, embodied
in its volunteers, is committed to presenting the Gospel of our Lord to
women in crisis pregnancies both in word and deed.
2. Human Life Services is committed to providing its clients with accurate
and complete information about fetal development and abortion. Each client
is recognized as a worthy person and will continue to receive support from
Human Life Services regardless of the decision she has made.
3. Human Life Services is committed to integrity in dealing with clients
earning their trust and providing promised information and services. Human
Life Services denounces any form of deception in its corporate advertising
or individual conversations with its clients.
4. Human Life Services is committed to assisting women throughout their
pregnancies and thereafter by providing emotional support and practical
assistance which typically cannot be obtained through other agencies.
5. Human Life Services
shall not discriminate in providing services because
of the race, creed, color, national origin, age or marital status of its
clients.
6. Human Life Services never advises, provides, or refers for abortion or
abortifacients.
7. Human Life Services offers assistance free of charge at all times.
8. Human Life Services is committed to creating awareness within the local
community of the needs of pregnant women and of the fact that abortion
only compounds human need rather than resolving it.
9. Human Life Services will not engage in contraceptive counseling or in
referring for contraceptives or contraceptive services. Married women
seeking contraceptive information will be urged to seek counsel, along
with their husbands, from their pastor and physician.
10. Human Life Services
recognizes the validity of adoption as one
alternative to abortion, but is not biased toward adoption when compared
to the other life-saving alternative. Human Life Services is independent
of any adoption agencies, relating to them in the same manner as to other
helpful referral sources. Human Life Services receives no payment of any
kind from these agencies, does not enter into contractual relationships
with them, and does not share office space.
