Advice & Aid Pregnancy Center helps women and their families make an educated decision about an unplanned pregnancy. We do this by providing evidence-based, medical information about parenting, adoption, and abortion. In many cases, an unplanned pregnancy is a very stressful situation.
Our staff provides a safe, confidential, and caring environment. We can help reduce the fear and worry you are experiencing through calm, non-judgmental conversation. Together we can eliminate any shame or embarrassment.
Where there are concerns about relationships, housing, finances, or general health issues, our staff has knowledge of many resources and organizations that can help.
That’s what our name means. We give the advice and information to women and their families so they can make an educated decision. And we provide aid in many ways, but primarily by being a good listener in a safe and loving environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
We are a medical facility that offers pregnancy tests, limited obstetrical ultrasounds, STI testing and STI treatment.
We are different in many ways including the fact that our services are at no cost to the individuals we assist. We also support women beyond the pregnancy by offering pregnancy educational programs and parenting support groups, as well as counseling and support groups for individuals who have been hurt by an abortion decision. This help is available for years after they faced their unplanned pregnancy.
In addition, we also offer help to those that have experienced infant loss through abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth or early child death.
Advice & Aid Pregnancy Centers has been serving the Kansas City community since 1983.
We neither perform abortions nor do we refer for abortions. We do have medically-based, up-to-date information on abortion methods and potential risks. Because we don’t charge for our services and won’t profit from a woman’s decision, we feel we are in a unique position to educate women on this topic.
