Is There Anyway to Get the Pregnancy Crisis Center to Change Their Policy?

Question by Linda Bluegull: Is there anyway to get the pregnancy crisis center to change their policy?
I don’t want to become a Christian just to please them. I doubt that the only women in need of their services are Christians. I’m not interested in prostelyzing. They won’t let me help but they still remind me to be a good Christian. Not interested. There aren’t any other agencies in my area and I want to save lives. Don’t you think they stress this policy to the detriment of our community? We’re not all Christians here and not all of us want to be but we still need help during a crisis.
