The abortion pill carries serious risks to your health, including heavy bleeding, infection, and incomplete abortion.

Don’t be misled—it’s not a simple solution. You deserve accurate education and safe guidance.

At FLC, we’re here to provide evidence-based education and genuine options. Come talk with one of our advocates or nurses—we’re here to listen and support you.

Curious to see your little one?

Our next Ultrasound Model Day is happening at our Newton and Shelbyville locations on September 30th! If you’re between 7–12 weeks pregnant, we’d love for you to be part of this special day. Not only will you be helping our nurses gain hands-on training, but you’ll also leave with keepsake ultrasound images of your baby.

If September 30th doesn’t work for you, that’s okay! We can set up a free ultrasound appointment on another day that fits your schedule.

📞 Call us and reserve your spot today!

Crisis Nursery of Effingham County houses a small "Free Room" for families to shop for anything they may need, no questions asked. Inventory from this room is based off of donations and wouldn't be possible without the generosity from our community continuing to provide our program with plentiful childcare supplies.

We ask that anyone interested in taking a look at our inventory to stop by Monday - Friday between 8a - 4p OR to call to set up an appointment please at 217-342-3000 ext. 1 💙
