roaming where the peopleare and offering free ultrasounds to any pregnant woman who stopsby.</p> <p>The program is funded by a Vista-based nonprofit group calledthe Pregnancy Resource Center, in partnership with a nationaleffort led by the nonprofit organization Image ClearUltrasound.</p> <p>Both are Christian-led groups whose leaders say the service fitswith their mission to help women in crisis pregnancies and providethem with alternatives to abortion.</p> <p>in North County, the mobile unit ---- a large motor home withequipment and a trained ultrasound technician inside ---- has beenavailable for almost two years.</p> <p>It makes the rounds in several communities, accompanied by anA-frame sign that says "free pregnancy ultrasound."</p> <p>Kimberly Regnier, the center's ultrasound manager, said theagency provided 191 free ultrasounds to women over the past yearand that 94 percent of those women said they would choose to keeptheir babies.</p> <p>an ultrasound uses the reflections of high-frequency sound wavesto form an image of inside the body, an effective way to observefetal growth.</p> <p>Regnier said women are often surprised at the details that canbe picked up by an ultrasound, even relatively early inpregnancy.</p> <p>"I can't tell you how many of them are so shocked that theystart crying," Regnier said.</p> <p>Image Clear Ultrasound operates seven of the motor home-basedclinics nationwide.</p> <p>on its Web site, the organization says that "at least 80 percentof abortion-minded women change their minds when they see theirunborn baby on ultrasound."</p> <p>however, critics, such as officials at planned Parenthood, saythe motive behind the mobile ultrasound program makes the servicesuspect.</p> <p>planned Parenthood describes itself on its Web site as a trustedprovider of reproductive health care and a passionate advocate forwomen's reproductive rights.</p> <p>Vince Hall, vice president of communications with PlannedParenthood San Diego, said he considers the mobile ultrasoundapproach a "coercive" way of fighting abortion.</p> <p>He said that the sign on the mobile unit should make it clear towomen that they are not entering a medical clinic on wheels, butrather accepting services from a group created to preventabortion.</p> <p>"It's misleading and it's unethical to advertise yourself as aquasimedical resource center when your entire operation is guidedby only one thing," Hall said.</p> <p>indeed, the word "abortion" is not visible to those who drive bythe mobile ultrasound operation.</p> <p><strong>Making the rounds</strong></p> <p>The ultrasound unit makes regular stops at high-traffic areasthroughout North County.</p> <p>on Mondays, motorists might notice it at Mission Avenue andFreeman Street in Oceanside.</p> <p>Tuesdays, it's in Vista at Hacienda and Emerald drives, justsouth of Highway 78.</p> <p>on Wednesdays, it appears near the Turning Point PregnancyResource Center in Mira Mesa, and on Thursdays it's in San Marcos,outside Birth Choice, another Christian pregnancy counselingenterprise, on South Rancho Santa Fe Road.</p> <p>Jamie Hay, executive director of the Pregnancy Resource Center,said most of the women scanned by the mobile ultrasound are "incrisis" and are considering abortion.</p> <p>"Many of them think that they have no other choice, but we showthem what all of their options are, including adoption andabortion," Hay said.</p> <p>She said the organization's religious beliefs are not forced onany woman who wants a free ultrasound, but each is asked whethershe has a religion.</p> <p>those who say they do are offered a prayer session at the end ofthe exam.</p> <p>Hall, the planned Parenthood official, said he does not believethat women served by the operation are given an unbiased view oftheir options.</p> <p>He said several national studies have shown that most pregnancyresource centers nationwide skew information on the consequences ofabortion.</p> <p>"We just feel that women deserve to know that there are placesto go, like planned Parenthood, where they can go for bias-free,medically accurate counseling," Hall said.</p> <p><strong>Additional services</strong></p> <p>in the mobile ultrasound center, pregnancy tests are also givenfree, as well as literature on how abortion works.</p> <p>Women are also made aware of government programs that can offereverything from free diapers to free child care so that they canstay in school, Hay said.</p> <p>She said the entire approach is designed to be educational andnot judgmental, regardless of outcome.</p> <p>"We do have clients who still choose abortion, and we let themknow that, if they do, we will be here for them afterward," Haysaid.</p> <p>Pregnancy Resource Center received a $50,000 communitydevelopment grant from San Diego County Supervisor Bill Horn in2007 to help pay for the equipment and another similar size grantfrom a Texas-based charity.</p> <p>All of its ultrasound workers are volunteers.</p> <p>Hay said that most of the women who come to the mobileultrasound vehicle are alone, or with a friend ---- few bring theirboyfriends or husbands.</p> <p>Still, when couples do come in together, the women may reactwith tears to the ultrasound image, while the male reaction isusually one of protectiveness, Regnier said.</p> <p>She recalled one young man who came in saying he would supporthis girlfriend's decision either way.</p> <p>"After he saw the ultrasound, he said, 'We can do this. I'mgoing to work more hours, and I'm going to get you on myinsurance,'" she said.</p> <p>call staff writer Paul Sisson at 760-901-4087.</p> </div><p class="story-keywords moz-border"> Posted in <a
