Financially:
Through the R.E.A.C.H. Project (Raising Educational Awareness &Changing Hearts) Georgia Right to Life purchases major television ads, Yellow Pages ads, and paid placement when “abortion” is Googled in the Internet. All three avenues present a toll- free number operated by Option Line, which connects the caller to her closest pregnancy resource center. Such advertising is well beyond the shoe-string budgets of these centers. These efforts have dramatically increased the call volume to Georgia pregnancy centers, resulting in saved unborn lives and help for post-abortive women.
In addition to the ads which prompt calls pregnancy centers, R.E.A.C.H. funds other TV commercials which subtly, but effectively, challenge “pro-choice” presuppositions. These measurably change attitudes about abortion and the sanctity of life, lower abortion rates, and turn the political climate toward life.
