                      RECOGNIZING ABC LIFE CENTER

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the ABC Life Center, a pregnancy center in Franklin, 
Pennsylvania in Venango County.
  The Life Center offers pregnant women a wide variety of resources, 
including no-cost pregnancy tests, consultations for women with 
unexpected pregnancies, adoption referrals, counseling for women who 
have had a pregnancy end in miscarriage or abortion, and more.
  The Life Center recognizes that being pro-life means supporting all 
life. The center itself encourages women by letting them know that 
their story, their life and their babies' lives matter. The center also 
dispels the notion that to be pro-life is to be antichoice.
  In fact, pregnancy centers such as Life Center offer a great deal of 
choices and resources to women who find themselves unexpectedly 
pregnant.
  Pregnancy centers like ABC Life Center encourage and empower women 
all around the country. I am proud of the work that they do every day 
to enrich the lives of women and children, and together they help 
spread the message that life really is a better choice.
