Care Net was founded in 1975, two years after the Supreme Court legalized abortion in Roe v. Wade. In 1980, Care Net opened its first affiliated pregnancy center in Baltimore Maryland.

Today, CareNet pregnancy centers, committed to serving women in need with care and integrity, and to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, has focused its ministry efforts in developing, equipping, and promoting more than 975 evangelical pregnancy centers across North America. CareNet also operates the 24-7 Option Line pregnancy call center in Columbus, Ohio as a joint venture with Heartbeat International.

The Feb. 26th issue of Time magazine features a dramatic cover story highlighting the work of the nation's pregnancy resource centers. (Click HERE for Time Magazine's archived article.) Kristin Hansen, CareNets' Vice President of (media) Communications, said the article was a "long overdue recognition of the growth and impact of pregnancy centers. We're encouraged to see the society at large take notice and ask tough questions."

Numbering more than 2,300 across North America, pregnancy centers offer free services to women and men facing unplanned pregnancies and other concerns. These free services include peer counseling, community referrals, resources, parenting classes, adoption information, and support groups for those grieving a past abortion.
