Care Net is an evangelical Christian crisis pregnancy center organization operating primarily in the United States. As a pro-life organization its centers seek to persuade a person not to have an abortion.[1] Headquartered in Northern Virginia, it is the nation's largest affiliation network of pregnancy centers. HistoryAccording to its literature Care Net was influenced by the leadership of former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop and Christian apologist Dr. Francis Schaeffer. The organization was founded in 1975 as the Christian Action Council by Dr. Harold O. J. Brown, with its primary focus to engage evangelicals in responding to the "abortion crisis". It opened its first crisis pregnancy center in 1983.[2] In the 1990s, the organization’s mission shifted toward supporting anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers; in 1999, the organization changed its name to Care Net. Today, Care Net has more than 1,100 affiliated pregnancy centers across North America.[3][4] In 2012, Roland C Warren, former President of the National Fatherhood Initiative, joined Care Net as President and CEO.[5] ActivitiesIn addition to counseling clients against abortion, Care Net affiliated centers may provide clients with services such as temporary shelter, help with jobs, debt and welfare applications, Bible study, and baby supplies such as used clothing, diapers and formula.[6][6] Care Net, like other CPC networks, touts medically disputed or discredited information about the supposed health risks of abortion;[7][8][9] it sometimes locates its centers near Planned Parenthood clinics and uses signs that read "Pregnant? Considering abortion? Free services," or otherwise advertises them as though they were medical clinics.[10][6] Some Care Net affiliated clinics offer ultrasounds.[11] Care Net pregnancy centers have been honored by at least fifteen state legislatures, according to advocacy organization Americans United for Life.[12]{{better source|date=July 2013}} Religious natureCare Net is evangelistic in nature, and says that its "ultimate aim...is to share the love and truth of Jesus Christ in both word and deed"[13] and that its "pregnancy centers are committed to sharing the love of Jesus Christ with every person who walks through their doors."[14] Care Net claims to have effected over 23,000 conversions or restatements of Christian faith.[14] It requires all employees and volunteers of affiliated centers to be Christian and comply with a statement of faith.[15][16] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Care Net Website|url=http://www.care-net.org}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://downloads.frc.org/EF/EF12A47.pdf |title=Passion to Serve 2010, Page 7 |author= |website= Family Research Council Website |accessdate=25 June 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|work=Care Net Website|url=https://www.care-net.org/aboutus/history.php |title=History |accessdate=25 June 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|work=Care Net Website |url=http://www.care-net.org/affiliation/index.php |title=Affiliation |accessdate=1 July 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101229051116/https://www.care-net.org/affiliation/index.php |archivedate=29 December 2010 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.care-net.org/aboutus/bio.php?id=59 |title=Warren Bio |author= |website= Care Net Website |accessdate=20 June 2013}} 6. ^{{Cite news |work=Time |title=Where can pregnant teens turn? |date=February 20, 1995 |first=Elizabeth |last=Gleick}} 7. ^{{Cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/17/AR2006071701078_pf.html |first=Kevin |last=Freking |agency=AP |title=Report: Women Misled on Abortion Risks |date=July 18, 2006 |work=The Washington Post}} 8. ^{{Cite news |work=Providence Journal |title=Cranston center adds to 'pro-life' arsenal |date=January 10, 2008}} 9. ^{{Cite news |url=http://floridaindependent.com/7120/state-funded-pregnancy-clinics-disseminate-questionable-science-on-abortion |work=Florida Independent |title=State-funded pregnancy clinics disseminate questionable science on abortion |first=Marcos |last=Restrepo |date=September 7, 2010}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Advertising Practices Raise Concerns|url=http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/09/13/2465545/advertising-practices-of-crisis.html}} 11. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/05/health/pregnancy-centers-gain-influence-in-anti-abortion-fight.html?pagewanted=all |title=Pregnancy Centers Gain Influence in Anti-Abortion Fight |author=Pam Belluck |website= NYTimes.com |accessdate=25 June 2013 |date=4 January 2013}} 12. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.aul.org/2013/02/the-defending-life-report/ |title=Defending Life 2013, Page 152 |author= |website= Americans United for Life Website |accessdate=25 June 2013}} 13. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.care-net.org/aboutus/ |accessdate=2010-11-25 |title=Care Net: About Us |publisher=Care Net}} 14. ^1 {{Cite web |url=https://www.care-net.org/ourwork/inside.php |publisher=Care Net |accessdate=2010-11-26 |title=Care Net: Inside a Care Net Center}} 15. ^{{Cite web |publisher=Care Net |title=Care Net Standards of Affiliation |url=http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/367552/2016_Standards_of_Affiliation.pdf |accessdate=2016-02-11}} 16. ^{{Cite web |publisher=Care Net |title=Care Net Statement of Faith |url=http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/367552/file-2184386775-pdf/Statement-of-Faith-2-08-C.pdf |accessdate=2016-02-11}} External links
